life jackets/preservers on ship?

[klei3354]

I know once you board they have the drill where you have to put on your life preserver and find out what happens if there is an emergency.

However, are these actual life jackets that you put your arms through or are they the ones that just go over your neck? I'm a pretty big guy and one of the friends I'm going with is 6'6 and well over 300. If they are the kind you have to put your arms through they aren't going to fit. LOL

They just slip over your head. they have straps that go around your waist.

We just back from the Glory this past week-end and my husband is 6'2 and 240 pounds (he is not fat thru this waist either) and codfish was right they do go over your head, my husband had the strap maxed out on his. (he wears a 38 pant size) The might have bigger ones available you might want to call Carnival to see. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I have a 56 inch chest and have no problems wearing the lifejacket.

"Good God, he's talking with parrots - Painting his dreams in the sand
Piling up beaucoup demerits, Doing it just 'cause he can
But Peter Pan would understand His schemes and dreams and ploys
Best keep an eye on his slight hand, He's such an altered boy"
