Is 'IT" Still on board?

[Grimsby1]

For ahwile, there was Segways on board that you could try out on the Wide World of Sports deck and on my last cruise, the line was crazy so I skipped it. Any recent cruisers know if they are still onboard and being offered for trial rides?

Thanks!

I'm not sure if this question was asked due to the recent recall of the Segway devices or not but I can tell you they are still in wide use at Walt Disney World.

When I heard that they were going to recall the things, I wondered if they would disappear from WDW. They didn't and I'm begining to wonder if Disney isn't somehow "involved" in these things.

I think the recall was just about adding a certain part so when the battery dies it doesn't stop all of a sudden. So that's my guess that's why their still at WDW. They could fix them, but who knows if Disney is involved at all with the them also.

Grimsby, the navigator Dave currently has on his site (www.dcltribute.com) is from Aug.2003, and yes, the Segway rides is still listed on pg.4

Hmmm... I remember seeing it in the Navigator from our trip (I think) but I don't remember seeing them anywhere on the Wonder.

I've been looking at the eastern navigator.
Maybe the Segways have been dry-docked.

They were not on our 10/11 Western Magic cruise. DH had wanted to try them and when we heard about the recall we wondered if they would still be around. Sad to say they were not.

I must be out of it, folks - because you will never guess what I thought when I read this thread......

Happy to see that "IT" wasn't what or whom I thought "it" was!

'nuff said!

Me too, Rae. We must think alike which may not be to our credit!

I just got back from the 11/9 wonder, and they did not have 'IT' on board. I was looking forward to trying it out, but alas I wasn't able to.

As far as the recall... it was only a software upgrade that helped manage 'IT' as the battery died.

So, Adam, how was the cruise?

Any good sushi?

 

[KaitlinsMom]

Karen and Rae - I was thinking the exact same thing!!!!

Great minds think alike -

ThreeCircles -- the cruise was great - unfortunatley, no good sushi. I did order the tuna at Palo (extremely rare) and it was very good. but no sushi - oh well. Overall I have to say that the cruise was better than even I expected. -- my daughter (5, turns 6 tomorrow) told me on the last night that she wished it was a 5 day cruise... it was so cute I have to agree with her, i too wish it was a 5 day (or a 25 day)

Thanks for asking
