You are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALWAYS CRUZIN Posted October 14, 2020 #52 Share Posted October 14, 2020 As for bikes. Not being able to go on your own at this time. Who would need one? How about a fold up bike though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYB!

Seriously though Princess currently offer a cycling tour at Guernsey over on Sark. The great thing about this island is that motor vehicles are not allowed not even ambulances so it's pretty safe. There is an exception for agricultural tractors. Regards John I don't take 10 bikes on a cruise with me. When I go on a cruise, I've been taking 1 bicycle with me and it's a Citizen Miami folding bicycle. I'm usually booked in a basic balcony or oceanview cabin. I take a few spare tires, patch kit, air pump, helmet and a gopro. Anything else I may need I can also pick up along the way as there is usually a bicycle shop/walmart/target/home depot/etc. available along the way. The bike stay in my cabin when not in use and only is used in port and not on board. At this time (Dec 2020), Princess still bans all bicycles as stated in the Princess FAQ:https://www.princess.com/learn/faq_answer/pre_cruise/bring.jsp NCL, Carnival, Cunard do not have a Ban on bicycles. HAL does have a ban on bicycles. Happy Holidays & Safe travels. - WYB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw bicycles mentioned. It's sort of stupid to deny people from enjoying themselves off the ship especially when it doesn't interfere with anyone on the ship. Maybe the thinking was that someone would want to use it on the jogging/walking track? Edited December 3, 2020 by MissP22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYB! Posted December 3, 2020 #55 Share Posted December 3, 2020 It's easier to just sail on a cruise line that does allow bicycles then it is to try to change a policy for a line that doesn't... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYB! Posted December 3, 2020 #56 Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Although according to the current Princess's Prohibited items list, it is permitted to bring on Segways, knives with a 2" blade or Diver’s Knives and Princess does make exceptions for firearms too.

MissP22 Posted December 6, 2020 #57 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I believe the crew still has the option of using bikes that Princess has allocated for them. They leave a deposit & for the day & get it back later on. It seems to me that it could be allowed for passenger also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renmar Posted July 22, 2022 #58 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I know, 18 months later but I give it a shot. Any new development on this topic. I also want to bring my folding bike on board to use it in the ports. Theo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donaldsc Posted July 23, 2022 #59 Share Posted July 23, 2022 This is an old post but I will respond anyway. 1) People want to ride their bikes on land off the ship. 2) Princess does not allow folding bikes to be brought on board. 3) There are lines that do allow folding bikes on board. 4) The bikers still cruise on Princess. What am I missing here? DON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebeluga Posted July 23, 2022 #60 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Slightly off the bike subject, does Princess allow a scooter, not the mobility sit-down one, but the kind one zips around on foot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I missing here? DON Can you please point out to me where it says no "folding" bicycles. I am only asking because they might have changed their policy for "folding" bicycles. I also tried to get a hold of somebody at Princess who can give me an answer but so far I am unable to get connected with their solution department.

Based on the FAQ...it sounds as if Princess has drawn a line in the sand as far as *any* kind of bike is concerned...but you raise an extremely valid point about possible fire hazard.

Renmar Posted August 9, 2022 #69 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I sent a request to Princess in the beginning of July regarding bringing my "folding" bicycle on board. So far I did not get a reply either yah or nah so I decide to not press my luck and left the bike at home. Now we are on the Royal Princess and just out of curiosity I asked at the service desk what they think of bringing a bicycle (folding or otherwise)on board. Their answer, after checking by phone probably with HO; "As long as you are not planning to ride it on the ship you are good to go, NO objection". Next time I will bring it.

Theo I am guessing that the reason that they initially banned them is that some idiot decided to ride his bike around the ship. As we well know - idiocy does not stop you from cruising.
