Inflatable costume

[Mdub1021]

Does DCL allow inflatable costumes? My son really wants to bring this on our Halloween cruise, but I am not quite sure it’s something DCL would appreciate. Thoughts?

I saw a kid with that outside at Halloween once and he was having a terrible time walking. With the crowds, I think he would just be uncomfortable and also take up too much space in the elevator.

Do they have an adult size version? This would be kind of fun to walk around in while stoned.

I don't know if you CAN wear it. However, you probably SHOULD NOT wear it. Way too bulky to be moving around on a crowded cruise ship.

In all seriousness, I agree with Rob. I can't even imagine trying to navigate a cruise ship in that thing. Man overboard, indeed.

I have never seen anyone wearing a costume like this. I agree it would be extremely challenging to move around in small, crowded spaces

I know on parahoy 2015 someone had they outfit

3 of my cruisemates kids had these and we went up to the sail away party. The CMs had a blast dancing with them and putting them on funnel vision. It was really cute.

Yup...I own one. lol!!

I saw a kid when we were on the Fantasy for HOTHS - it was hilarious! I will say it looks a bit difficult to move around in but if you don't mind that (the cast members certainly didn't have a problem with it), then go for it!

Interesting! Do you wear it often?

Only when I'm stoned. (kidding)

The more I learn about Canadian culture, the more I love it.

We value safety and good judgment and ask Guests to choose costumes that are family friendly, not obstructive, objectionable, offensive or violent. To avoid any disappointment or delay in the boarding process, please refrain from bringing toys or props that resemble guns, knives or other related implements. Masks that completely cover a person’s face may only be worn when standing still at character photo locations and must be carried when moving around the ship. Guests may dress as their favorite character, but may not pose for pictures or sign autographs. Guests that fail to comply with these guidelines may be removed from events unless their costume can be modified.

Yes, we have this info. I just wasn’t sure DCL eojkd consider it “obstructive”.

Well, anyone behind that costume would be obstructed.

I would be afraid of him tripping if trying to walk on the staircases while wearing that. The elevators are usually crowded enough so if he had that on in an elevator he's going to be taking up a lot of room. He would also be bumping into everyone in the hallways. It would also be very difficult to get around the CM carts in the cabin hallways. I would leave it at home.

OP, I saw this video and pictured your kid running around in his costume. In fact, I burst out laughing and forgot my camera was on during a union zoom meeting. Oops. In short, he'll be about as graceful as a puppy trying to balance on a beach ball.

I have to admit, if I encountered someone wearing one of these in one of the hallways near staterooms, I would probably be a bit annoyed. Those hallways are pretty narrow to begin with, and trying to navigate around someone wearing something big like that wouldn't be my favorite. Good point as well about taking up space in the elevator.

Maybe that makes me a bit of a fuddy dud. Not trying to run anyone's fun, I'm just not sure it's the smartest idea in certain areas of the ship.

I'm with you.

Not to mention there will likely be housekeeping carts out for evening service and those do take up some of the hallway - you may find yourself having to walk all around trying to find an empty hallway. And then hope you don't meet someone on a mobility device!

If the kid really wants to be a dinosaur on the cruise, I'd look into non-inflatable options for them for the ship.
