erdoran Posted May 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 28, 2018 do they weigh you before getting on plane or helicopter if you clearly aren’t close to the top of the weight range but are a bit overweight? I do not want to be weighed during a cruise!!! I know silly question but that happened to me in Hawaii and I didn’t like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted May 28, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 28, 2018 While not having personal experience, given the size of the aircraft being used it wouldn't surprise me if they do. They need to make sure things are evened out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted May 28, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 28, 2018 They will weigh you. They have to balance out the aircraft. Would you prefer to crash? DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinconfusion Posted May 28, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 28, 2018 We took a helicopter tour in Hawaii and we had to weigh in. It's a necessary evil. :'):'):( They didn't make a big deal out of it. We are book on a floatplane at Ketchikan and I fully expect to be weighed. They did ask our weight when we booked the flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytime53 Posted May 28, 2018 #5 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Not sure I would even want to fly with an operator who didn't weigh everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erdoran Posted May 28, 2018 Author #6 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks. Not disagreeing with necessity. Just don’t want to be weighed so won’t do those excursions. My choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mindy2 Posted May 28, 2018 #7 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Well you could just not look at the scale. The face of the scale was facing the attendant and I had to peer over to see what it showed. You shouldn't worry about that and just enjoy yourself. We did a helicopter excursion a couple weeks ago on our cruise and it was the highlight of my trip. Worth every penny!

ATLSwissyMom Posted May 29, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 29, 2018 We were weighed before our helicopter ride but not before the float plane trip. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illiniwahoo Posted May 29, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 29, 2018 We were asked our weights when we reserved the float plane trip, but were not weighed day of. Sent from my SM-G930V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherryf Posted May 29, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 29, 2018 We've done a couple of floatplane excursions - Taku Lodge in Juneau and Misty Fjords in Ketchikan - and we were not weighed for either one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Hag Posted May 29, 2018 #11 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Yes, they certainly do! In our experience, even if you book in advance and tell them your weight, they still weigh you. I clearly remember how pleased the person weighing us in Hawaii was that I'd actually given them the real number. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dghp9 Posted May 30, 2018 #12 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Just back from Alaska and did Misty Fiords Floatplane. We were asked our weight but it was not checked. Hope you have a wonderful time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
