Bubbles

[pearose]

This may sound silly.... but a thought crossed my mind. Has anyone ever taken and used bubbles on a cruise? The kind kids use, with the bubble wands and liquid bottles of bubbles. Would they even allow using those, say, from your balcony?

Earlier this month on Legend, the people in the balcony below us had a bubble machine.

 

They turned it on every time we left port.

I gave out bubbles (wedding bottle size) for a M&G at sail away. There were about 20 of us (all ages) blowing bubbles.

What a GREAT idea. I will remember this when we take our grandchildren.:o

Yes, and they are fun until they pop in your eye.

I wanted to bring bubbles with me for my Dads surprise 85th birthday cruise and John Heald told me they weren't allowed along with no balloons :(

 

So funny hats and noisemakers it will be :) Now I'm wondering if I should bring the bubbles....

There was another posting on this subject a couple of weeks ago. The majority of the people said it was not a good idea. Some of the things mentioned:

 

As another poster above mentioned, it's fun until one pops in your eye, one lands in somebody else's drink standing next to you, and the sticky mess that they leave when they land on the floor, and JH says they are not allowed.

I have a private preschool. We use bubbles all the time. Bubbles are made of a different 'soap' mixture now than they use to be. They're non toxic, not sticky, and do not burn if they get in your eyes.

 

Blowing them into a crowd on a ship isn't any different than blowing them at a wedding.

Any and all bursting bubbles and spilled mixture makes the deck slippery, subject to falls, scrapes, and broken bones. Blowing them in a playground or driveway on asphalt is a lot different that a tiled or teak deck.

 

Leave the bubbles home.

We've brought bubbles for DS, but only used them on our balcony. Didn't want to potentially annoy anyone or create a slippery surface on deck.

It's easier to get forgiveness than permission....

Bubbles and balloons are allowed.

I wouldn't use them out on deck where they might get into someone else's eyes, drinks or cause any slipping hazards. I was just thinking it would be fun on the balcony at sail away etc.

Geez how exciting.

[Rosefloater]

Geez how exciting.

 

Yes it was.:D Especially when people not part of our M&G were also asking for bubbles.

 

BTW - We were at the back of the ship and the bubbles were blowing over the railing.

So all that soap was going in the water for the benefit of the marine life and micro organisms?

Oh good grief. They're NON TOXIC people. Yes. NON toxic. They won't pollute the water. They won't burn anyone's eyes. A couple of bubbles popping in your drink aren't going to change the taste.

We have used them for sail away on our aft balcony many times.

Fun for adults and kids - no real harm, issues getting them on board or using them. We've always had tons of fun - with NO complaints from our neighbors. ;) :D

My daughter was given a bottle of bubbles from the Camp Carnival people. She loved blowing them on the balcony

We have taken bubbles on a couple of cruises for when we leave port. Everyone seems to enjoy them. I'm personally more worried about smokers flicking their ashes and butts off of their balconies than the bubbles. To get in my eyes or drink.
