antsp Posted March 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2017 was hoping to buy a bike, and bring it home to the uk on our April transatlantic, the bike will be boxed and un assembled. Any issues checking it in with our baggage with the porters. Reading prohibited items, long long list no cycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridalover5623 Posted March 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted March 15, 2017 As long as you can transport & store it in your cabin there are no problems. In the past I've seen a few people post that they've brought collapsible bikes with them to use in various ports. It's a shame that Princess doesn't rent bikes to passengers although there would probably be numerous accidents on some of the narrow roads.

I was going to check it in with all my bags, do you think that will be acceptable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JF - retired RRT Posted March 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I was going to check it in with all my bags, do you think that will be acceptable As Floridalover stated above...the only limit would be storage space in your cabin. It probably wouldn't fit under the bed. Should fit OK in the closet. It would be a tight fit in an inside or OV cabin. Hopefully, you can afford a balcony or above (they have lots more room).

antsp Posted March 15, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted March 15, 2017 http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2424829&highlight=bringing+a+bicycle just making sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colo Cruiser Posted March 15, 2017 #8 Share Posted March 15, 2017 just making sure Judging by how I see and experienced bicycles boxed at Walmart/Target/Costco etc I would be leary of giving it to the porters unless I taped/reinforced the box real well ahead of time. They are very flimsy. Last thing you need is damage to the spokes, frame, and/or lost parts (pedals/fenders etc). Maybe grab a roll of clear shipping/packing tape there too.
