Age Requirements for Breakaway Sports Complex

[Babygirl08]

Looking to find out the age requirements for the slides, ropes course, rock wall, etc.

 

Any information will be appreciated!

 

Thanks!

Not sure about age, but for the one slide (free fall) there is a minimum weight if 90 lbs. And the ropes course has a max weight of 300lbs. We saw little ones on the rock wall (maybe 5 yrs old). And there is a little ropes course for the little ones...very cute...

I do not have the specific answer to your question - saw many (young and old) participating.

But...I will share that I was NOT permitted to participate in the ropes course. :eek: I was turned away because they did not consider my Teva shoes "appropriate footwear". :o

I was a little bummed - but it was still great to watch a friend enjoy the course.

My son was 9 last year on the Breakaway. He was able to do everything but the red and blue slides because if the weight min.

"Teva Shoes" is a huge category given their 60 or so men's varieties (can't talk to women's versions). What sort of Teva were you wearing? Flipflop/sandles or something like Omnium???

thanks for the pic -- same as mine -- Omnium (sp?). Very comfy and glad you posted -- guess I'm also packing my Nike Airs for the ropes course. :)

I can't imagine those shoes not being suitable for the ropes course. I forget what shoes I had when I did it. Prob New Balance or something. The ropes course was great fun. We really enjoyed it. I'm anxious to sail the Breakaway again one of these days but as of now we're sticking with the Gem this year.

I was surprise too...never even thought it would be an issue. 😞 I will be prepared with "tennies" when we board the Getaway! 😉

I was on the Getaway a month ago with basically the same set-up so I'd expect the requirements to be the same. I had a 5 yo DD (43") and 3 yo DS (38") so had to deal with this a lot as they were right in that zone.

Firstly nothing (other than kids club, maybe the main roles course) was based on age. It was all height (and for the drop slides also weight dependant).

For the 3 non-drop slides it was I think 40" (don't recall exactly). Either way oldest could use them (with a couple inches to spare) and loved them, youngest could not and was very disappointed (though only the smallest of the slides I would have said was suitable for him anyway).

 

For the drop slides it was 48" and 99 lbs min.

 

Spider web was 43"- which was tough to do so my youngest couldn't have managed it any way, oldest loved it. The bungie trampoline was also I think 43", so, oldest could do it and did a couple times. Line was often pretty long so didn't bother much.

 

Ropes course was fun, but clearly way above anything a 5 yo could do. Requirement might have be 48" for this, not 100% sure as kids were no where near being able to do it no matter what the signs said. Definitely saw 10-12 yo's on it, but not younger.

 

They did have a neat kids mini ropes course which I saw kids around 2 or so on. My youngest really liked it, oldest thought it was just for little kids and only did it a couple times, which was fine as she had plenty else to do.

 

The rock wall was more of the same theme - oldest was just big enough to use it, youngest was not. This was probably the one he got most upset over after seeing his sister do it. My DD got all the way to the top and rang the bell (definitely with help from the staff who were great and cheering her on as were many of the guests waiting).

 

Overall had a great cruise, ship and staff were amazing and already booked another NCL cruise for Feb (on the Dawn). Though I would probably wait until my youngest is a bit taller so he can use more of the activities before we go back to either the Getaway or Breakaway.

Can anyone tell me if all of these activities are included in the price, or is there an additional fee? Thanks!
