Long pants for ice skating

[minniefino]

Will be on the Freedom in a few weeks and just starting to pack now...

 

I know that long pants are required for ice skating, but any idea if mid-length pants such as capris or yoga pants are allowed?

[tneah]

I haven't noticed capri style or ankle length at all.

No capris, they have to be long pants.

Even on casual nights?

Thanks for the responses. I'll bring some 'real' long pants then.

You definitely don't want any exposed skin hitting the ice if you fall. Don't forget the heavy socks too.

This made me laugh so loud! Its so funny how a question related to clothing is quickly interpreted into dining attire. :D:)

Yoga pants are OK, they just have to be long pants...no capris.

My wife has always worn capris when skating onboard. They are almost touching the skate boot and they have never stopped her from getting on the ice.

You are welcome to wear capris or long shorts while ice skating. This is on Royal Caribbean's website:

 

'Please note ice skating on our Voyager Class and Freedom Class ships requires that all skaters wear long pants and socks for their own comfort and safety. Capris and long shorts are permitted'.

It appears now that all skaters - adults included - must wear a helmet while ice skating ???

Can anyone who has recently cruised confirm this ? Thanks.

Love it !! :D

 

Didja notice people aren't lining up to insist that if they want to wear "juicy" shorts or some other outrageous getup that it is OK ? Maybe they should install an ice floor in the MDR, and have the waitstaff ride zambonis. Then they could require long pants in the MDR.

Just got off the Freedom this past Sunday and NO helmets were required.

Thanks for the update Mark !

 

Go figure - another statement or policy from RCCL that doesn't quite jive with first-hand experience... ;)
