please please please help with wt limit twister

[girlsjustwannacruise]

omg... we booked the passion island by twister through carnival. I read over and over the wt limit was 300 lbs. so I booked. I went back to review and noticed that on carnivals web site it says 240 lbs!!!!!! we already booked and one fella in our group is prob 270 lbs.

 

Anyone have experience with this??? I am not sure what to do at this point....

Ask for a refund?

[girlsjustwannacruise]

I was wondering if anyone has been turned away???

[c-leg5]

Strange, most brokers list 250lbs but Disney cruise line lists, 300lbs. Maybe it has changed since you booked?

[girlsjustwannacruise]

yea... that is what is so strange.... different lines list different weights. Hes a big guy but holds his weight really well, hes over 6 ft. I think he would prob fit in straps okay... just unsure of the wt limit issue

If they can fit him in and you are paying cash money....they will not turn it down.

I would advise everyone in your group of ALL the restrictions for that excursion, which would include the weight limit. Then it'd be up to him to decide if he can (or wants) to go on the excursion.

 

If his weight is over, then he (or you) should check with the Excursion Desk as soon as you board for your cruise. The Carnival rep should be able to tell you if Carnival will refund his money if he's denied. Or he can cancel his ticket if he doesn't want to risk not getting a refund if he's cancelled.

 

In other words, make it HIS decision / problem -- not yours. After all, you don't even know for sure if he's actually overweight or by how much. Plus he's the one who will lose his money if he's denied with no refund so he has the right to decide.

 

Note: it's very unlikely that Carnival would refund everyone else's excursion money if he's denied at the ride so he might have to sit and wait for everyone else going on the ride.

Please update when you get back, thanks.

Three years ago, we took the Twister ride to Passion Island. My over 6-ft. tall husband was at around 300 lbs., and that was obvious. Not at all physically fit, if you know what I mean. They put him in a specific seat and put one of our small kids near him, so he would have plenty of space. The seatbelt straps were tight, but worked.

 

I suspect that if all of the passengers who walked up were heavy set, it wouldn't work, but we walked up with three children, allowing for extra space (and weight limit) for the operator to work around.

My bil weighs is 5'6" and weighs 280 lbs, and took the twister excursion with us. No problems - they didn't even blink twice.

yes, please update as I want to go and have someone on my group that is 265lbs and need to know.

Thanks
