Yes, technically there are pavement and sidewalks, would it be tolerated and enjoyable - highly doubt it... skate parks - never seen'em.

[SilverFox79]

As far as I've heard only in Grand Cayman.

A skateboard should probably be left at home. Doubtful you could use it on the ship, it would be a PIA to schlep from port to port, and you probably aren't going to find skateboard parks if surfing is available.

[caribbean dreams]

Ok, i was gonna leave this one alone but my curiosity got the best of me....why would you want to go a skateboard park when you will be on beautiful tropical Islands?

Are skateboards on the list of things that are not allowed to be brought on board the ship?

According to Carnival's website - http://www.carnival.com/CMS/FAQs/What_NOT_to_Pack.aspx - you can bring them - just not use them onboard.

 

Due to "Safety Concerns", the following items cannot be utilized on board but may be brought on board for use in port, only:

Roller Blades/Skates

Snorkel Gear

Skateboards

Golf Clubs

Fishing Rods (packed)

Tennis Rackets

Kites (packed)

So.... your kid cann't give it up for 7 days :confused: Why take it where it is not welcomed and where there isn't a place to ride it. Tell him he's going to spend the week walking.

Does anyone know if the kids can wear Heelys on board? :confused: I remember on Fascination last year, a few kids were wearing them. My kids love them.

I would think to be on the safe side I would ask Carnival that question. It appears that they are just another form of skates and Carnival rules state the following:

Heelys Shoes:Freedom is a wheel in your sole. These great looking sporty skate shoes feature a stealthy, removable skate wheel in the heel, perfect for skaters of all skill levels

I saw in another thread. People complaining about them. Kids cutting people off, can't stop in time, etc. I figure my DD will be in sandals all week, leaving the heelys home. Better safe, then sorry. JMO

[shipty2]

They are not allowed but having said that I saw many children wearing them this past summe on Elation. It is obvious though that a moving cruise ship is not the place for them.

What the heck are heelys?

[L2J]

What the heck are heelys?

 

They are those stupid azz shoes with the wheel in the bottom. Hopefully it's nothing more than a fad....just like those $250 hightops (a.k.a. felony flyers) were a few years ago.:rolleyes:

Oh yeah I've seen those. As if it's not bad enough that kids today spend so much time in front of TV's getting fat, now they don't even have to WALK anywhere.

[starketcher]

I suspect if some out of control kid kid with heelys or, worse, skates were to come byme, I might , just might, lose control of some pennies that I happened to have in my pocket!:cool:

[cruisinbuddy]

Leave it at home, you;ll be doing yourself a favor.

[Upandadam]

In case this point hasn't been made obvious, please leave your skateboards, heelies, skates, or anything similar at home. Even if your kids enjoy them, there are several other things for them to enjoy which don't run the huge risk of detracting from the enjoyment of others.

In all fairness the OP was asking about places in port - as in skate parks - not whether the board could be used on the ship or even in the crowded tourist areas.

 

As far as the parents that allow their kids to skate on heelys or anything else on a cruiseship - DUMB - JMHO. I can see it now - little Johnny going over the rail and the parents suing the cruiseline for not having higher railings. They don't belong on a ship - if my kids wanted to take them for off the ship I would still say no - not that they have asked.

 

My vacation is not going to revolve around whether we can find an appropriate place for them to skate. There are too many others things that we can enjoy as a family. They can skate at home any time.

[bobodavis]

WOW!!!!!

just because you or your kid dont enjoy skating while IN PORT that means my kid should'nt either.

It was just a question.

[Caribbean Dad]

It was just a question.

 

I've never seen anything like a skate park on any of the islands that we have visited, but then again, I've never looked.

 

You might get better input if you ask your question at the "Ports of Call" boards. Good luck.

[Upandadam]

Bobo.

 

I don't think things were merely addressed to you. The thought of kids running around on heely shoes on deck is absurd fo many reasons. And my kids WOULD love to skate board in port. I just wouldn't allow them to unless it was in a designated skate park out of courtesy to others and to teach my kids courtesy as well.

 

Sounds like you're out of luck for a skate park. However, there should be plenty of other activities for them.

I agree. And what makes wanting to ride a skateboard in a skatepark any different than wanting to play basketball or mini golf on a ship? The guy never said Hey can my kid run rampant with a skateboard all over the ship and streets. He asked if there was any skate PARK on the islands.
