Like 'most' traveling divers we did not try to carry our weights or tanks ..... too heavy. But mask/fins/snorkel, safety vest (BC), regulators/computers and wet suits ..... yep a roo, Problem quickly becomes storage space on most cruises .... Friends of ours who frequently cruise with us are avid divers and always take their scuba gear, minus tanks, with them on our cruises. This adds a lot to fly to the ports with and always are paying for the extra weight, and also end up with gear loaded into the stateroom. But they manage and have a routine that works for them as they typically dive twice - or more on longer itineraries - on each cruise, Edited March 4, 2022 by leaveitallbehind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have actually been on board with him and his bike. I understand that his is a rather unique and specific circumstance, but it does certainly press the limits of what can be brought on board........😉 Here's a couple of older links including a previous CC thread describing this: https://www.beyondships2.com/allure-of-the-seas-captain-interview.html https://boards.cruisecritic.com.au/topic/1330797-captain-johnnys-motorbike/ We did a cruise to Bermuda once that had a motorcycle club on it. Once everyone had debarked at Bermuda, they carefully drove the motorcycles off the ship. They had arranged to meet w a Bermuda motorcycle group. I am sure that all arrangements were cleared in advance but the people in the group said that they were having a great time. DON 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurie S. Posted March 4, 2022 #29 Share Posted March 4, 2022 I take all of my scuba equipment on a cruise, just need to take my dive bag. I'm also an underwater photograph with a large rig and several lenses. It all goes with me with no problem. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrate13 Posted March 6, 2022 #31 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Some years ago (can"t actually remember the year) we were on a Caribbean cruise, there were many that brought bikes aboard and used them at each stop. It might have been a club? Point is, they were allowed, and no, they did not fold up. Check with your cruise line to get up to date info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also refers to a state of mind with bringing none of the daily life baggage along either. 😉 Clothes and cash is about all that comes with us...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Captain on Celebrity who travels with her cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stimpydekat Posted March 10, 2022 #38 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I’ve seen organized tours on Royal Caribbean where motorcycles owned by the individuals in the tour group were brought on board and unloaded on the pier for the group to use while in port, I believe that this was in Bermuda and the Captain of the cruise ship may have been “Captain Harley” but this was a special arrangement. Pretty cool to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
