Weight limits on excursions?

[crop til ya drop]

How strict are they on weight limits on excursions.  There is one I want to do that has a weight limit of 250 lbs, but my hubby is 260.  Do you think he can slide by?

Totally depends on the excursion.  If it is a catamaran, the extra 10 won't matter, if it is a zip line or a jet ski, they are more strict.

Problem is that the tour operator may lose insurance coverage if they violate the limit, so it all depends on how sensitive the operator is to liability.

That's what happened to me last year.  I worked hard to get down below the  250# weight restriction for the ziplines at Costa Maya.  By the time we got off the cruise I was back up to 260#. 😱  I have no idea how much I weighed when we got to Costa Maya but its was day 5 of the cruise so my suspicion is that I was over the weight restriction.  No one checked though.  I had a good time.

It would totally depend on the type of excursion.
