    Default Royal Caribbean Mariner of the seas

    Royal Caribbean has temporarily closed a trampoline attraction on two of its cruise ships after a guest broke his pelvis when a bungee cord snapped off his harness.

    Florida man Casey Holladay has launched a $US10 million ($13.9 million) lawsuit against the world's largest cruise ship company after falling around 6 metres while bouncing on the Sky Pad bungee trampoline in February.
    He broke his pelvis and dislocated his shoulder in the fall, and has reportedly been suffering painful side effects.
    Royal Caribbean confirmed in a tweet to a customer that it had temporarily closed the attraction on its Mariner of the Seas and the Independence of the Seas ships.
    "We're currently conducting a review of the safety as part of our commitment to safety for all of our guests," Royal Caribbean said.
    The Sky Pad attraction also uses virtual reality headsets and promises guests an "out-of-this-world" experience as they bounce inside a large dome on the ship's deck.


    It was installed as part of a $US100 million ($139 million) renovation of Royal Caribbean's 4,000-person capacity Mariner of the Seas ship.

    When it occurred back earlier in the year Royal Caribbean put out statement saying thye had been tested ashore without ant problems.
    But on a moving ship of course things can be very different.
    It was only a matter of time before something like this occurred, so many of that companies ships are now fitted out with what many would consider to be just crazy attractions just to be a bit different.
    Some of the liones now have lost sight of the concept of a cruise, attempting to turn the ship into some sot of holiday camp.
    Happy daze John in Oz.

    Never ever sail on such monstrosities.
    I only sail on elegant smaller ships, just relaxing and with superior service, that is what cruising is.
    Dress for dinner, wine steward pours the wine and same table and table companions. No shorts or T Shirts in Restaurant. No kids on board.
