Ripcord/Northstar


Recommended Posts

It would help if you gave more information, such as what these trips are, where are they located, how long the total excursion is and the cruise ship you're on.

 

ripcord and northstar are actives on board the ship.

 

RC is a wind tunnel like thingy that lets you simulate weightlessness/parachute jumping and Northstar is a giant bubble that swings out over the ocean and gives you a 360 degree view.

 

both of these activities are first come first served with limited cooperating hours.

 

it MIGHT be possible to do stand by but do not get your hopes up. in inclement weather( high winds, especially) they do not run Northstar at all. Lines to participate can be quite long, even with reservations. and they won't extend the operating times.

We were on the April 8 Anthem cruise. I had a reservation for the North Star on a day that it rained. North Star was still operating. I didn't go, instead I went on another day as a stand by. I had to wait about 15 minutes. So, yes you can go more than once. On our cruise the hours of operation were pretty extensive.

 

We didn't do the Ripcord so I can't provide any information about that.
