Oh wow, that sounds like fun. NCL is going to make lots of $$$$$ with all those kids with their rich parents in the Haven ;);p

 

MSC has a similar program for their zip line. I think its $10 each ride or $50 unlimited for the cruise.

For Yacht Club guests, zipline is no charge and unlimited zips...whatever you call it.

 

As for the go-karts, count me in for unlimited but I'd like to know how the separate line merges with the regular line.

I might try to check that out tomorrow and let you know.

Thanks.

Is this unlimited offer just for Haven guests or is it for all?

That I don’t know. It was not clear

[Sauer-kraut]

I bet it turns into a sprint to get them like it is now for Posh/Spice passes. Only a limited amount sold per cruise and Haven guests get first crack at them.

We read on several posts that the kart reservations fill up for the week on the 1st day... If they have unlimited riders all week long I can't visualize all the new problems this may create. Go karts originally were included, then they went to $5, then $7, Now $10pp. Now $99 for unlimited?

The thermal room on Escape was $189 weeklong for couples. Now the bliss has gone to $249pp up from $199.

Jimmy Buffets was included, then went ala carte, now is $$15pp.

I am not sure what NCL is doing, but these weekly increases are alarming to say the least.

Probably looking for that sweet spot price, where they are full, but not overwhelmed. The one thing they need to raise substantially is Vibe and maybe it would stop folks from running over folks to get a pass.

I look for NCL to begin auctioning the VIBE and other alacarte things....they have a winning formula for cabin upsells and they certainly know it.

 

 

"who wants it more--show me the money". And in fact, it is more fair than a foot race to see who can get what.

When were the go-carts included? I thought they were initially $8, then $10. We bought spa passes on the Breakaway months after it started sailing, $200 pp, that was 5 years ago. They are charging what people are willing to pay, like all businesses. I remember when I paid $10 a month for each of my kids’ cell phones, and the phones were free! My bill is now over $400 a month!

What is the racetrack?

Guess I have a lot to read up on... don’t know what posh/spice passes are.

The electric go-kart track on NCL Joy (first) and NCL Bliss (second)...

There are no passes for Spice H2O. It is a complimentary and adult-only sundeck.

 

VIBE Beach Club (VIBE) and Posh Beach Club (POSH) are limited guest/extra cost adult-only sundecks. Posh is only on NCL Epic and is included for adult suite guests. A pass must be acquired by getting one on-board on a first come, first serve basis (VIBE and non-suite guests on Epic).

can others get the $99 deal? Is someone really going to be able to get track reservations for 10 times though. I wonder if they'll make it a promo- like UBP or Unlimited Racetrack?

Interesting that the space formerly taken up by Margavittaville was free on other ships- I went there just to get drinks- told the host that but I probably could have grabbed some nachos while there. It looked like essentially buffet food

There are no reservations with unlimited. You have your own line like a fast pass at Disney.

[erdoran]

So how does that work? are there some number of dedicated karts? How long have people been waiting? DH and I are interested but if we are still going to have long waits then not worthwhile.

[eddeb]

It all breaks down to a simple business model:

 

Kevin Sheehan>>>> FreeStyle Cruising.

 

Andy and George>>>> FeeStyle Cruising.

 

We really enjoyed freestyle. :cool:

Don’t know. I do plan to check it out on the next sea day.

[emcelh]

I can't imagine what the lines would be like if the racetrack was free. People would be complaining that they weren't able to get near it.

[KeithJenner]

When were the go-carts included?

 

Never.

Who is George??

[KeithJenner]

Who is George??

 

Maybe he's the person who introduced charging for Bowling, or for Posh/Vibe, or introduced dinner shows at a charge. Things like that. :)
