SilverFox79 Posted November 16, 2006 #4 Share Posted November 16, 2006 As far as I've heard only in Grand Cayman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted November 16, 2006 #5 Share Posted November 16, 2006 does anyone know if thier are places to skate in port we are going to belize,costa maya,cozumel,and nassau A skateboard should probably be left at home. Doubtful you could use it on the ship, it would be a PIA to schlep from port to port, and you probably aren't going to find skateboard parks if surfing is available.

caribbean dreams Posted November 16, 2006 #6 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Ok, i was gonna leave this one alone but my curiosity got the best of me....why would you want to go a skateboard park when you will be on beautiful tropical Islands?

sea_u_onboard Posted November 16, 2006 #8 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Are skateboards on the list of things that are not allowed to be brought on board the ship? DanAccording to Carnival's website - http://www.carnival.com/CMS/FAQs/What_NOT_to_Pack.aspx - you can bring them - just not use them onboard. Due to "Safety Concerns", the following items cannot be utilized on board but may be brought on board for use in port, only: Roller Blades/Skates Snorkel Gear Skateboards Golf Clubs Fishing Rods (packed) Tennis Rackets Kites (packed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasetf Posted November 16, 2006 #10 Share Posted November 16, 2006 does anyone know if thier are places to skate in port we are going to belize,costa maya,cozumel,and nassau So.... your kid cann't give it up for 7 days :confused: Why take it where it is not welcomed and where there isn't a place to ride it. Tell him he's going to spend the week walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R&R2006 Posted November 16, 2006 #11 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Does anyone know if the kids can wear Heelys on board? :confused: I remember on Fascination last year, a few kids were wearing them. My kids love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJ'S MOM-MOM Posted November 16, 2006 #12 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Does anyone know if the kids can wear Heelys on board? :confused: I remember on Fascination last year, a few kids were wearing them. My kids love them. I would think to be on the safe side I would ask Carnival that question. It appears that they are just another form of skates and Carnival rules state the following: Due to "Safety Concerns", the following items cannot be utilized on board but may be brought on board for use in port, only: Roller Blades/Skates Snorkel Gear Skateboards Golf Clubs Fishing Rods (packed) Tennis Rackets Kites (packed Heelys Shoes:Freedom is a wheel in your sole. These great looking sporty skate shoes feature a stealthy, removable skate wheel in the heel, perfect for skaters of all skill levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsixteencruisers Posted November 16, 2006 #13 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I saw in another thread. People complaining about them. Kids cutting people off, can't stop in time, etc. I figure my DD will be in sandals all week, leaving the heelys home. Better safe, then sorry.

shipty2 Posted November 16, 2006 #14 Share Posted November 16, 2006 They are not allowed but having said that I saw many children wearing them this past summe on Elation. It is obvious though that a moving cruise ship is not the place for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L2J Posted November 16, 2006 #16 Share Posted November 16, 2006 What the heck are heelys? They are those stupid azz shoes with the wheel in the bottom. Hopefully it's nothing more than a fad....just like those $250 hightops (a.k.a. felony flyers) were a few years ago.:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starketcher Posted November 16, 2006 #18 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I suspect if some out of control kid kid with heelys or, worse, skates were to come byme, I might , just might, lose control of some pennies that I happened to have in my pocket!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinbuddy Posted November 16, 2006 #19 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Leave it at home, you;ll be doing yourself a favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upandadam Posted November 16, 2006 #20 Share Posted November 16, 2006 In case this point hasn't been made obvious, please leave your skateboards, heelies, skates, or anything similar at home. Even if your kids enjoy them, there are several other things for them to enjoy which don't run the huge risk of detracting from the enjoyment of others.

sea_u_onboard Posted November 16, 2006 #21 Share Posted November 16, 2006 In all fairness the OP was asking about places in port - as in skate parks - not whether the board could be used on the ship or even in the crowded tourist areas. As far as the parents that allow their kids to skate on heelys or anything else on a cruiseship - DUMB - JMHO. I can see it now - little Johnny going over the rail and the parents suing the cruiseline for not having higher railings. They don't belong on a ship - if my kids wanted to take them for off the ship I would still say no - not that they have asked. My vacation is not going to revolve around whether we can find an appropriate place for them to skate. There are too many others things that we can enjoy as a family. They can skate at home any time.

bobodavis Posted November 16, 2006 Author #22 Share Posted November 16, 2006 WOW!!!!! just because you or your kid dont enjoy skating while IN PORT that means my kid should'nt either. It was just a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribbean Dad Posted November 16, 2006 #23 Share Posted November 16, 2006 It was just a question. I've never seen anything like a skate park on any of the islands that we have visited, but then again, I've never looked. You might get better input if you ask your question at the "Ports of Call" boards. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upandadam Posted November 16, 2006 #24 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Bobo. I don't think things were merely addressed to you. The thought of kids running around on heely shoes on deck is absurd fo many reasons. And my kids WOULD love to skate board in port. I just wouldn't allow them to unless it was in a designated skate park out of courtesy to others and to teach my kids courtesy as well. Sounds like you're out of luck for a skate park. However, there should be plenty of other activities for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon12 Posted November 16, 2006 #25 Share Posted November 16, 2006 WOW!!!!!just because you or your kid dont enjoy skating while IN PORT that means my kid should'nt either. It was just a question. I agree. And what makes wanting to ride a skateboard in a skatepark any different than wanting to play basketball or mini golf on a ship? The guy never said Hey can my kid run rampant with a skateboard all over the ship and streets. He asked if there was any skate PARK on the islands.
