Clarea Posted January 11, 2016 #2 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Wow, last time my wife did it, it was $92, and I thought that was obscene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will run you about the same.. For the record, it was an amazing ride, with unbelievable views. It was worth the money for us.. If you are afraid of heights, you may want to rethink it.. Have fun on whatever you decide on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jletsgo Posted January 11, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 11, 2016 It's worth it to me....have done it twice...an amazing experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggyfrank Posted January 11, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 11, 2016 That's worth it for just one ride, one line?? We've paid like about that I think for long courses, where you go on many lines, like 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plunkebe Posted January 11, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 11, 2016 We did the zip line in Jamaica and loved it. Not sure if your cruise is heading there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted January 11, 2016 #9 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Yes, you get a full 50 seconds for that price. Unless it has changed when we did it and timed it-----we got a little more than that it was like a 1 min. 40ish seconds. So............maybe averaging a tad over a dollar a second:eek:.

Rare h20skibum Posted January 11, 2016 #10 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Wow, we paid around 96 in November and thought that was high. Good experience to do once, and thought about a repeat on a future cruise, but maybe not at those prices. Their website still shows US 95.75 though. Maybe it is the exchange rate.

TwoTimer81 Posted January 11, 2016 #12 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) Being that I just did this, it does come out to just under $100 pp USD. It's great, most of the time is spent preparing for the ride and checking everyone in and getting everyone up to the top of the hill. Its more of a bucket list type of thing you do once (record it if possible) and don't do it again. Shore excursions are just about never discounted as those costs are mostly fixed (RCI employees are not involved for the most part with the exception of the private islands). But again, its your vacation, can't expect a massive discount or a deal on everything now can we? Get an overall budget, and stick with it through hell or high water.

FlyStef Posted January 11, 2016 #13 Share Posted January 11, 2016 We did it in November and loved it. Yes it's expensive for a short burst. If the cost will prohibit you from doing other things, I wouldn't spend that much. However my group all wanted to do it and we had a blast doing it. Yes there are cheaper and longer zip lines over the world, but we felt the dragon's breathe was unique since you are over ocean and race the waves. There are a million canopy zips, not so many over ocean zips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyG888 Posted January 17, 2016 #14 Share Posted January 17, 2016 My son and his friend want to do it (both 15) but my husband and I do not. Can we sign them in and they go alone? Or do they need to be with an adult? Both boys are close to 6 feet tall and built like foot ball players so they're bigger than a lot of adults (me included) so they are not "kid like".

illiniwahoo Posted January 17, 2016 #15 Share Posted January 17, 2016 It might be cheaper to wait. The day before labadee we got a not in our cabin that all shore excursions were 20% off (new bookings only). The trade-off, of course, is that it might be booked. I'd risk it and wait. (But I was also to cheap to do it in the first place :) ) Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone waited and been able to book the zip using the discount? The price is STEEP for what you get, but at the same time as others said it's a "bucket list" type of experience. Won't inhibit us from doing other things on our trip, but yikes.....they are making a $$$$ on this one! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
