hammock on a balcony?

[pbsteve]

So I was trying to find a youtube video of a similar room to what I will be in, and I came across

They strung a hammock on the balcony... Not that I want to do it, but it seems interesting that they had one up.

Doesn't seem very safe

[Hey Tina]

Doesn't seem very safe

 

What exactly doesn't seem safe about it?

We might have to do this! We have an extra long balcony on our next cruise in sept2015, Liberty out of San Juan. Already have the hammocks.

Hi Steve :)

 

Here is a how to hang a hammock on a cruise ship balcony video that I

wanted to drop here for you.

 

 

 

Have a great day!

Well for starters those rails and hinges were not made to to hang stuff off of let alone people. Second can you imagine the lawsuit being filed when something goes wrong and somebody gets hurt.

 

carnival didn't tell us we couldn't hang stuff off the rails so of course its there fault.

And if someone hung the Hammock a bit too high and somehow fell over the railing. :eek:

I watched that video. They normally open all those dividers once during the cruise so the windows can be cleaned. Not sure how well that divider would open with something jammed in the hinge.

I do have one of these:

 

 

 

But leery about lugging it there, I guess it's more common than I thought, I don't think I've ever seen or heard anyone using a hammock on the balcony....

 

I will say the hammock in the video was not wedged in the hinge, but in the support for the dividing wall from what I see. it wouldn't interfere with the hinge, but the hammock may keep it from opening all the way.

[Cruise-Crazy]

Ugh, now ya'll got me wanting to try this...... :eek:

[ladybugcruiser]

Yeah. I hear you guys but I'm gonna do it! Not gonna hang too high or sue Carnival if I fall( which I won't! Too cautious!

[Cruise-Crazy]

Yeah, now I want to try it too. Already found a hammock on Amazon. LOL

 

Looks like there should be an easy/safe way to do it.

Get an ENO double. And don't forget to order the straps. I think they come separate. Might have paid around 60 or 70$ few years back. They have not let me down!

Just one of me going to be using it and with the recent diet I think I'll fit into a single. :D :D

Just when thought saw everything in posts. Very creative.

[Wavesprite]

We have an ENO double nest we take camping all the time. I would never. Uh the single. Saying get the double is. It saying your overweight, but if you wanted you can fit two people in the hammock.

[IGGY63]

Oh, I am SO gonna try this on my next aft balcony!!!

Oops! I didn't mean to imply anyone was overweight and I'm not either! I just thought the double was more comfy and versatile. Sorry.:eek:

I guess a hammock is better than a trampoline.......

Yeah, a trampoline on a balcony is not a good idea, especially if there's a balcony or any kind of overhang above! You could end up with one heck of a headache!:rolleyes::D

[PAPERBKWRITER]

Wouldn't be worth the trouble for me. That thing would require a lot of packing space.

I didn't take it that way

Actually the one I was looking at on Amazon (the Grand Turk) is reall small and light weight. It is designed for hiking/camping.

Wow looks like fun..if it would not be in way at all..worry about the cleaning crew and well anything that would get in way of what anyone has to do security wise etc..but also just wow..hanging low enough and all..great on the smaller balcony where you can not stretch out otherwise..but have concerns if really ok for ship and ship issues.
