zanydoc Posted September 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2018 On Harmony...How old to ride without adult supervision on Boogie Flowrider? Last time we cruised I felt like I was there all day everyday watching my kid! At least there is a bar nearby...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreativeCruiser119 Posted September 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I do not believe there is an age requirement (someone correct me if I’m wrong); the restrictions are by height and state that boogie boarders must be 52 inches and stand-up surfers must be 58 inches. I hope this helped, enjoy Harmony! Wonderful ship! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanydoc Posted September 27, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Thank you-but when I was on Harmony last year, my son was 11 years old and I had to supervise him at all times. He of course could go on the flowrider because he met the height restriction, but they gave him a different colored wristband and wouldn’t let him ride if I even went to the restroom. Anyone else know this answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else know this answer? That age is 13, for boogie as well as standup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenjer Posted September 28, 2018 #6 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Is the parent has to be there a new rule? Or exclusive to Harmony? In the past it has only been height restrictions and they are strict about those. Having a parent there is not a bad idea since people get hurt all the time but my kids have never been turned away when we where not there. But my kids are tall and they know how to do it having been riding them since they where like 7. My DD lives on that thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted September 28, 2018 #7 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Is the parent has to be there a new rule? Or exclusive to Harmony? No. No. It's up to the staff to enforce the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mil76 Posted September 28, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 28, 2018 It's not just the Flowrider. When my youngest was 12 and started going to the Teen club, I actually had to go and "supervise" him during the Teen skate night and Teen Flowrider night or they would not let him participate. Talk about cramping his style! I did my best to hide in the shadows so the older kids didn't see daddy sitting there supervising him. Once he was 13 he could do everything on his own. This was on Allure so it's not a ship-specific policy. The height requirement is totally separate. You have to make height or they don't let you ride, regardless of age. If you make height and are under 12, you must have an adult supervising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else know this answer? My apologies - I was not aware of any such rule, and even looked it up before trying my response to confirm I was providing you with accurate information. Case in point, I have been on many cruises with my family, including a brother who spends his days at the FlowRider - boogie boarding (although he has tried standup a few times). On the Oasis in 2014, he was 11 and while our parents would sometimes go back there to be with him for a little bit, I don’t believe they ever spent the whole day watching him. Granted that was 5 years ago so the rules may have changed since then; if they have, I have yet to hear anything about it or see it posted anywhere. My apologies again for the confusion!

I've seen the staff require the kid show where the parent is the first one or two times they get on the ride, but after that the staff know they are OK and don't bother looking for the parent.
