Life Vest

Will the life vest fit properly on a plus size person? Or do they have different sizes? Thanks in advance!!!

I never had any trouble with it....I guess it depends on how "plus" you are...before I had weight lose surgery and I cruised in 2002 I had no trouble with fastening it though...

It's only one size fits all for adults, there are kid and infant sized as well.
they only strap around your body and are real thick around your neck to keep your head out of the water. you only have to keep them on for about 5-10 minutes away so i wouldn't worry.

As stated the adults vests are one size but there is a a strap that is adjustable to fit anyone......there also is no front or bag to the vests...it can be worn either way!!

Here is a pic of the vests from our cruise last week

The worst thing about the life vests, is that they smell like everyone's dirty hair. You kind of get an eewwww feeling all the while you are wearing them... or at least I do. And then it's over and you get to have a wonderful cruise.

Oh, you lucky people! You had "S" PFD's (personal flotation devices)

On our first cruise the alarm sounded and I went into the closet to get our lifevests. I was horrified that they were all "L's" I didn't want to have a "L" lifevest!! I wanted a "M." ALL of ours were "L's." I was complaining that I wanted a Medium, NOT a Large, when my dh explained to me that wasn't the SIZE, it was the letter of our assembly station!! Oh. Now it's a running joke whenever we pull out our lifevests....we have to see what "size" they are.... Once I was a "P," once an "F"....the family has fun coming up with what "size" those would be...."petite" "fat" whatever. I will NEVER live it down (especially now that I've posted it on the DIS!)

We bring a little can of lysol spray with us and we spray those life vests down quite well before we put them on. Gives us a little less willies....

We did indeed have "S" as our location, which was in Animator's Palate. I always feel glad when we have an inside location to be out of the sun and heat, but the more I think about it....I think in a real emergency I would feel 10 times better knowing I could see the lifeboats I may have to get into instead of being inside at a lifeboat station wondering if there would be any boats left when we finally got outside!!!! I know there are enough for all onboard, but that though was running through my mind that day at the drill!!
