PPPJJ-GCVAB Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 Hello...does anyone know which ship(s) have Archery as an activity? I was looking through Cruise Ship Activities and it is listed but there is not much info! Is it part of the Adventure Ocean for kids?? Curious because it would be an awesome activity to try! https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-activities/archery Thanks for any info offered! Quote
smokeybandit Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 Can't say I've ever heard anything about archery on board ship until this thread. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote
RBRSKI Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 Actually, I think that's a pretty good idea. Although, they have many things on the ship that guest could get hurt, a bow to the body is a little different. I say wake-boarding off the back of the ship! Ha Ha PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote
twangster Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 Totally jealous. I never got to this kind of stuff when I was a kid. Is there an age limit? Asking for a friend. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote

SO!!! I just called and guess what? Archery is available on every ship!!! The service rep told me that once you check in and can view all onboard activities this is offered. She said it has been around for some time but just recently Royal began advertising it more! It also shows up on the Cruise Compass. She told me depending on the length of the cruise it may be offered only one day or more. Guests just need to sign up ahead of time. So we can all look into this once sailing starts...I for sure will be!!!! twangster, cruisellama and Sharla 2 1 Quote

SpeedNoodles Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 I've seen where it's offered, I've seen pics of it....I've never been able to find it. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote
Plumlee2028 Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 I have seen video of the offering on Mariner of the Seas, but that is the only ship I have seen any info on it. You shoot little arrows with suction cups on it at the targets. The overall size is pretty small, so Im sure if lots of people used it, they could pretty simply expand to other ships.

SPS Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-activities/archery I know it's April 1st, but, it appears that this is a real thing, unless @PPPJJ-GCVAB somehow convinced RC to be in on the joke! PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote
KristiZ Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 They offered it on Spectrum when we sailed her. There was at least one session each day. It was very popular in the Asian market! PPPJJ-GCVAB, WesKinetic and SpeedNoodles 3 Quote
WesKinetic Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 I never knew this was something I needed until this exact moment. That would be a lot of fun. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote
Yo2slick Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 You all should go down to your local archery shop and do some shooting. I shoot in my backyard all the time and my daughter competed in school. Its a great sport to get into! emmef, teddy, PPPJJ-GCVAB and 1 other 4 Quote
GaryAA Posted April 1, 2021 Report Posted April 1, 2021 My very first cruise on Carnival Ecstasy in 1992 had skeet shooting on the back of the ship with shotguns Yo2slick, deep1 and PPPJJ-GCVAB 2 1 Quote
Mrs. RoyalMoyal Posted April 2, 2021 Report Posted April 2, 2021 I've seen it. I almost got out of the Flowrider line to go do it, but when I realized it wasn't arrows I stayed in the flowrider line. It was on the sports court on Oasis. It looked like the participants were having a grand time. PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote
emmef Posted April 2, 2021 Report Posted April 2, 2021 I will need to learn more about this! I love archery PPPJJ-GCVAB 1 Quote
deep1 Posted April 3, 2021 Report Posted April 3, 2021 Lots of ships used to offer skeet shooting... The clay targets were flung over the water and the shots all went out toward the sea. To do archery they would need a vey big back stop to catch any errant arrows... Quote
cruisellama Posted April 3, 2021 Report Posted April 3, 2021 If you're including Nerf archery, there was a ship officers vs guest archery competition on one of the Celebrity ships we were on in the pre-plague past. Quote
