Ice skating

[Harriet75C]

Are you allowed to bring your own skates for the skating, or do you have to use ship skates?

Interesting question; I for one wouldn't want to lug a pair of skates around but....in 2013 this question was answered on CC.

Do you have to make RSVP to ice skate or can you just show up?

Availability and booking process may vary by ship - you could show up but the session might be sold out.

You can bring your own skates.  

Public skating is usually offered in 30-minute segments once or twice per cruise, on a first-come basis.  Long pants are required to be worn on the ice, and no "figure skating" (fancy moves/spins/jumps) allowed.

On our recent Harmony our grandsons went several times. We were surprised how many open skating sessions there were...and if there weren't enough skaters they could continue into the next session this happened often.

but you must still wear a helmet... If you don't bring your own, you will have to use theirs.

But - yes, you can bring your skates.
