SoloAlaska Posted February 8 #1 Share Posted February 8 I was browsing the NCL prohibited list last night and noticed bikes are now prohibited. Mike where are you, you are always cruising with one of your bikes. Is this a new rule? I don’t recall seeing it listed before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Anoynmous Phoenix Posted February 8 #2 Share Posted February 8 Interesting as one of the senior officers on the Spirit had his cycle with him and regularly used it. One rule for them, one for us!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Laszlo Posted February 8 #3 Share Posted February 8 Their are times when the hallways are clogged with scooters, I can't imagine bikes being there. I also can't imagine a bike fitting into a cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there’s probably rules for those people (crew) that actually live on the ship for six months, as opposed to someone (passengers) who may be just visiting for a week or two. And I’m also sure there are probably privileges that senior officers have over regular crew members as well as passengers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One rule for them, one for us!! 100% Safety and keeping the cabins clean of dirt and oil is a priority. The crew have bikes to use in port and are stored (in this case in the crew gym) and taken down the crew gangway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well,if you live onboard for 4 to 6 months at a time, vice a 7 day customer, employees do have certain benefits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted February 9 #14 Share Posted February 9 Mentioned in a previous thread, regardless of how a bike is foldable, it’s still going to take up significant space in the cabin, getting it in and out of the cabin, out and in the hallways, through security. etc. Crew have their own entrances and exits as well as storage facilities that don’t affect other guests. I you want to bike at port, look into renting a bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare graphicguy Posted February 9 #15 Share Posted February 9 (edited) Leaving my cabin, I just got the nicest comment from my Butler, Walter! ”Mr Daniel…I will miss you. You are so laid back and a calm person…you’re not intense and demanding”! Really? Me? You sure you don’t have me confused with someone else?

Just what we need are bikes cluttering up the hallways and some dumb SOB getting drunk and trying to ride his bike on board! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYB! Posted February 11 #19 Share Posted February 11 I’m currently sailing on the NCL Sun. Yes, bicycles now seem to be on the list of banned items with NCL. That’s unfortunate as I enjoyed them very much. ya know, large batteries as a description are vague and are in most mobility scooters which are left overnight in the hallways. strange how they added bicycles as (24) as if it’s also been policy and not to the end of the list. Been brining a bike since 2018 with no injuries or complaints. oh well, on to the next cruise line until something changes. - WYB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
