NJmommyx4 Posted April 14, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Funny question...my kids want to know if they can shoot silly string from a can off the ship when it takes off. Does anyone know? Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted April 14, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Seems they say nothing is to go over the side, so I'd guess 'no' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jollyjones Posted April 14, 2009 #4 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I sincerely hope not. Is it fully biodegradable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbisson Posted April 15, 2009 #5 Share Posted April 15, 2009 with streamers-confetti & just about everything else being thrown off ships at sailaway, See? I do need to contact that lucky woman! Gulp. Probably to tell her to throw me off with the streamers-confetti & just about everything else LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOWTYD Posted April 15, 2009 #7 Share Posted April 15, 2009 BTW: Thank you to all you nice people who defended me. Sorry I forgot to say that. Lisa Lisa, please come back and let us now how your cruise was. Did you join a roll call? You can meet some great people who will be traveling with you. You still have a couple days! Enjoy.

NJmommyx4 Posted April 15, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Yes, you can call me NJMom! (or Lisa) LOL We will have a great time on the cruise. Its been a dream of mine forever to go to Italy and being able to go to several other ports too is just icing on the cake. I have learned so much here on CC so we are all super set to go. My kids are just thrilled beyond belief and as much as I don't know...they are really clueless and its amazing to be able to see that childlike innocence. I know that they will be in awe of everything they see...they just can't imagine it right now. As a mother of 4 children, we sacrifice a lot to provide for them as much as we can. And as a parent, nothing can compare to being able to provide this trip for my children. The memories will last them forever and I am already trying to figure out how I can save money for another cruise in the future. Thank you again for the kindness shown here to me on CC by the many that make up for those few who have bad days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derf5585 Posted April 15, 2009 #10 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Because it is a plastic resin, it is not biodegradable from http://www.ehow.com/about_4608226_silly-string-biodegradable.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted April 15, 2009 #11 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I would guess you could. I would ask, "Who will clean it up?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartbda Posted April 15, 2009 #12 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Seems they say nothing is to go over the side, so I'd guess 'no' Gulp, GULP!!! Our roll call had streamers and confetti last year at sailaway. Can't say any went into the harbor but I CAN say with certainty that it went into people's food below us at the barbeque.:eek: When I saw what was happening, I gave mine to some little kid so it could be blamed on him.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crew mom Posted April 15, 2009 #13 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Sound like it would be fun BUT probably not a good idea. It's a hazard to the marine life. From Wikipedia: "Silly String is a child's toy, generically known as aerosol string: a flexible, brightly-colored plastic string, which is shot as a stream of liquid from an aerosol can." Sounds like something that could incur a hefty fine if it gets in the water and as garycarla said - Who would clean it up on the deck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mevers Posted April 15, 2009 #14 Share Posted April 15, 2009 How about blowing bubbles instead? Teens might think it is dumb but hey, blowing bubbles is always fun in my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ohioNCLcruiser Posted April 15, 2009 #15 Share Posted April 15, 2009 This would be a BIG no no. Not only could it land you with large fines but it could even land to a passenger being asked to leave. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING!! can be tossed off the side of the ship.

Thank you again for the kindness shown here to me on CC by the many that make up for those few who have bad days. It sounds like you are going to have a wonderful time. One thing I did now and then and I wish I'd done more (now that my kids are having kids) is vacation journals. Just a few minutes (2 - 5?) at a regular time (right before dinner always seemed to work best). Just maybe 'the best/most fun/interesting thing I've done today' or the 'most interesting person I met today' with pages at the end to place pictures. It's great to look back on and it triggers specific memories that all get mushed together in memory... just a thought. p.s. I love silly string... saw it go up in flames once... SPECTACULAR!
