DWhit Posted June 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Stupid Question, but.... If the ship is anchored and clearly not moving, and if they have the watersports deck deployed; does anyone ever jump off their balcony into the water? It seems kind of high, but I am not really familiar with the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted June 20, 2017 #2 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Anyone can jump if the passenger has every intention to do so. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlaurend Posted June 20, 2017 #3 Share Posted June 20, 2017 There are no balconies, so, technically, no. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
factor Posted June 20, 2017 #4 Share Posted June 20, 2017 If you jump, can't guarantee you will come back up. And if you do, you won't be aloud back on the ship Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems kind of high, but I am not really familiar with the ship. The balconies are not meant for jumping and there is a distinct possibility that you would be severely injured, worse, or asked to leave the cruise The first thing we taught all of our grandchildren about boats, ships and water is that you only get to make one mistake. Bad idea! Use the sports platform! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milepig Posted June 20, 2017 #6 Share Posted June 20, 2017 No question. No discussion. Just NO. You cannot. If nothing else, the few cabins that have access to the outside are fairly high on the ship and I'm pretty sure you'd hit the hull of the ship before hitting the water. Not a good idea, and I think you'd be escorted off the ship shortly after trying - assuming you survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWhit Posted June 20, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I think the ship is way bigger than I was thinking when I asked the question. I looked a deck plan and the lowest balconies are on deck 5. So it would basically be the same as jumping off the deck. Way too high! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Communik8r Posted June 21, 2017 #9 Share Posted June 21, 2017 On our Windjammer Barefoot Cruise on the Mandalay, we didn't have a balcony - no one did, but we were allowed to jump off the side of the ship on a couple of occasions! Of course it was a much smaller ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovecruisingtoo Posted June 21, 2017 #10 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Actually, I do remember one time when people jumped off the Legend (the Captain even jumped off the deck). It was one day when we were cruising the Sognefjord in Nororway and the Captain stopped the ship so people could jump into the sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it was a much smaller ship. We did as well on the Yankee Clipper. There were rope ladders to climb back on board and we were 35 years younger without titanium parts. The good old days!

sauertea Posted June 21, 2017 #12 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Did the same on the Windjammer Legacy in the Bahamas, but it was off the side of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yowkk Posted June 22, 2017 #13 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Onboard the blue lagoon cruise in Fiji's yasawa islands, we were instructed never to jump off the ship unless it was tied to a coconut tree (insert laughter). Low and behold, one morning we WERE tethered to a coconut tree on a private island SPLASH, in I jumped and swam to shore. But this was off the platform, not off any decks or balconies!

Redtravel Posted June 22, 2017 #14 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Why would you want to jump? Everything is better on the ship. The sports platform is nice when it is open. I loved it. It's only open when the ship anchors in warm water. Unfortunately, if you dock or sail in cooler waters, the platform is not open. The pool and hot tubs are open.
