Shibumi Shade on Carnival?

[brilliantseas]

Has anyone taken a Shibumi Shade onboard a Carnival cruise for use at Half Moon Cay, Grand Turk, or other beach destinations? They only weigh 4 pounds and collapse down into a shoulder bag that will easily fit inside my suitcase. 

 

Has anyone had any issues with security bringing it on or off the ship?

Great question. I'm planning on taking my small Shibumi on Royal Caribbean. Other's experiences are welcomed!

I thought that was someone I dated in college. 😝

You can bring it on the ship, whether or not they'll let you use it on HMC is another matter. I don't know the answer to that.

I have seen similar sun-shade devices at HMC. I suspect they'll expect you to take it further down the beach so as to not impact other patrons.

We were just discussing this on the NC beach. Shibumi is what we want to get for beach days on land and I hope we could use it on HMC👍

Bought one from Dick's Sporting Goods while I was down in Florida for a beach day. It wasn't up for five minutes and I was getting questions about it. It took maybe 3-4 minutes to put up and it was up for hours with no issue. Love the ease and simplicity. They are grossly over-priced but it is the only beach shade that I'd actually lug with me every time I go to the beach.

We have one that we sometimes use when it's just the two of us on the beach. It's quick and easy to set up but you have to have a breeze for it to work. We bought ours about 4 years ago and I think we were the first ones in our area to have one. Now, on any given day I can look out our door and see them all up and down the beach. And it's so pretty! 😍
