Dajbman22 Posted December 31, 2019 #1 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Pretty straightforward question. I've had this small foldable nylon kite and thought it would be fun to toss it in my luggage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilkySal Posted December 31, 2019 #2 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I've never seen anyone do that, so have no idea. However, I might go by the saying, "sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness, than for permission."😘 On a side note, that just may give RCI the idea to add that activity for more $.😏 I say, go for it!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted December 31, 2019 #3 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I can't see where it would be a problem, and long as you're in an "out of the way" spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTHodgeman Posted December 31, 2019 #4 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I know that drones aren't technically allowed, but nobody said anything to the 2-3 people flying them in the remote/rocky part of the beach nearest the roller coaster. I can't imagine that anyone would even bat an eye at a kite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robo1098 Posted December 31, 2019 #7 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Sounds like a good idea. As long as you don't bother any people on the beach I don't see a problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guests are welcome to bring drones on their cruise for use on land only and outside of the port area. However, drones are not to be operated onboard the ship at any time, nor on Royal Caribbean’s private destinations: Perfect Day at CocoCay, Bahamas or Labadee, Haiti. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crilski Posted December 31, 2019 #11 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Somewhat off topic - 20 years ago we were in an aft cabin. People were flying kites off the back of the ship. If we had the sliding glass door open, sometimes a kite would get sucked into our cabin. We'd relaunch it - and avoided kite injury! I'd say - go for it - go fly a kite! I've read where people have flown a kite at other ports, then gave the kite away to a kid. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LMaxwell Posted December 31, 2019 #18 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Sure, no problem, we brought a kite earlier this year and used it at Labadee. Some $10 Amazon Prime special that fit in our luggage We used Adrenaline Beach; past the beach cabanas are some sports courts at the base of the hill. It was one of the few areas that was both windy and did not have a lot of people around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dajbman22 Posted January 1, 2020 Author #22 Share Posted January 1, 2020 That area is exactly where I was thinking of attempting it (last time I was there, that area was pretty dead). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted January 1, 2020 #23 Share Posted January 1, 2020 That area, years ago...used to have a really cool "shipwreck" bar up near the rocks. That was in the days of tendering. Agree...pretty open and unused now. Watched a young couple trying to climb up the rocks at that end, walking right past the "do not enter, stay off the rocks" signs. Security was pretty quick to call them back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had this small foldable nylon kite and thought it would be fun to toss it in my luggage. A month ago, we flew our floldable nylon kite at Coco Cay- it was pretty windy, but swirling. It was cool. The only "issue" I can think of is wind- the mountains seem to block it, and I don't recall being there on a windy day. We bought the kite for the park in front of El Morro in San Juan, and carry it to many other places. Really nice to have it! Have a great time with it!!!!!!!

It was often quite a challenge. I remember that it was in Seattle onboard the Vision in 2000 while still at the dock that an officer approached me and told me that I needed to bring the kite down. As part of their new "Save the Waves" program it was now allowed. He said that if I lost a kite I would be polluting the waters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
