Hover boards on deck

[MotherofTrips]

Just curious....has anyone seen kids riding hover boards on the ship?

How fun would that be??? I bet they'll be outlawed as soon as someone does :(

Haven't we just had this thread.

 

With all the complaints about scooters and alwkers can you imagine this type of contraption.

A hover board caused a huge house fire over the weekend. I saw it on Good Morning America today. I hope they aren't allowed on ships!

You won't see them on the ship.

[casofilia]

You won't see them on the ship.

 

I hope you are right.

Saw one on the Jewel just last week along with a Segway in the buffet. I kid you not.

I bought my daughter one for Xmas and was hoping to bring it on the ship, not to be used on the ship but for when we were in port only. It got delivered last week and was that heavy I couldn't even pick it up so she is now getting it for her birthday on Friday instead of Xmas and it won't be coming with us.

 

I don't think I'd like to see them being ridden on the ship.

Hover boards haven't been invented yet.

Bring a guitar too and they can hover over to the buffet and play the washy washy song[emoji6]

If your kids can't be separated from their damn toys for a week leave them at home.

Too many people in a confined area for these not to be a safety issue for other guests and staff. Fine to use in port in an area where people are not walking around but I would be against on board usage.

Saw a young teen girl with one on the Breakaway in October. After the first day, never saw her on it again, so I hope an officer told her it's dangerous, stop using it...

Can I ride my unicycle on deck?

;)

[Jenjer]

I sure hope not they where annoying enough on the sidewalks of San Diego I could not imagine them on ship.

 

They would not work well in port either since once you are outside of the area where ships dock you have small crowded sidewalks. Sure you could hoover board around the area ships dock until security came and took it away....never to be seen again.

YOU are rude!

Think it through... if you are on a hoverboard, the ship will sail away right from underneath you.

[cruise luvr]

No need for them. So I hope not

LMAO!! Great post. :D

[paulh84]

I surely hope not. Back when the roller skate shoes things were all the rage, I can't tell you how many chins and heads I had to stitch up from those dumb things!

[FranknBeans]

Didn't New York just ban then from the streets.

 

In Toronto the streets are bad enough with escooters being a vehicle one minute then a bike the next same with bike couriers and bikes in general. I wish they would license these ecooters and make them follow the rules of the road, there just too dangerous to be on the already crowded sidewalks.

The OP is talking about a Segway like self balancing device that has two wheels but no handles like a Segway. For some reason they are called hoverboards.

Uhhh, no! It doesn't work that way, it is all relative. Your body has already accelerated to the speed of the ship.

 

Think about jumping up in a jet airliner aisle doing 500 mph. Do you really think you will not land in the same spot you jumped from?

 

I don't need to think it through, but you might need to! :D

[triptolemus]

You must be fun at parties...

Even with helmet, wrist & knee pads as protection along with gloves, reports are beginning to come from hospital ER about falls and injuries. Better check if insurance will cover even if allowed on the ship n in foreign ports. Yes, NYC has a ban of them on public streets, illegal n ride at your own risks.

IMO, far too unsafe to ride or use on a cruise ship, especially on those *Away class ship.
