vmdenn8524 Posted January 13, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hello! I am going on a cruise very soon so I'm really trying to get my packing list straight! I have 2 excursions booked, one of which is zip-lining in Jamaica. I noticed under "what to wear" on the royal caribbean website it says close-toed shoes. Does anyone know if these are suggestions or requirements? I suppose it would be best to bring tennis shoes just in case, but I definitely prefer to wear my chacos! Thanks!

Rare Keith1010 Posted January 13, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Since the web site was specific about closed shoes I would wear tennis shoes and not your chacos. Have a wonderful cruise. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmdenn8524 Posted January 13, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Are Chacos closed toe shoes??? DON I did ask whether their list was a REQUIREMENT or a SUGGESTION... I obviously know if closed toed were REQUIRED chacos would not be allowed. I hike in chacos though, another activity that closed toed shoes would be RECOMMENDED, not REQUIRED. Chacos simply provide more arch support than most tennis shoes I've tried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted January 13, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 13, 2018 It's required to prevent injury to your feet upon landing. If you don't have "closed toed" shoes or shoes that are secure on your feet, they won't allow you to ride...and you won't be refunded your money.

spookwife Posted January 13, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 13, 2018 absolutely a requirement . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can wear your chacos on the ship, but for zip-lining, close-toed shoes are REQUIRED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Substantial footwear seems to be what they are looking for. Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted January 14, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Welcome to Cruise Critic. If they tell you that something is required for your excursion, it is for your safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trish1c Posted January 15, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Have you zip lined before? Coming in from 30+ m.p.h. you have to suddenly stop on a platform. Your feet are part of the braking system. You will risk serious injury if you aren't wearing closed toed shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you show up without them you will be turned away with no refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshhawk Posted January 20, 2018 #14 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Not that my friend was beaten to death with shrubbery (trees) but he said when he zip lined that he was glad he had boots on! Have a great time, and play nice with the other zippers! Have a great cruise.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
