WexIrl Posted March 15, 2023 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2023 We were on the Escape in 2022 and purchased 2 arcade packages for our two teenagers. We are due to sail on the Getaway in June 2023 and I just tried to search and purchase the same arcade package and I cannot find it on the NCL website (Where I found it previously for the Escape)...I book everything myself..no TA etc Before I go wait in a phone que to find out if its available, has anyone else purchased the arcade package on the Getaway? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you try this? https://www.ncl.com/onboard-packages/arcade-package (We've never tried it, so this link is basically all I know about it.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rjm11 Posted March 15, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 15, 2023 it is available for purchase 60 days prior to sailing for some reason. Not sure why there is a time limit on that one, but that's when it will show up on your MyNCL as an option. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WexIrl Posted March 16, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Thanks for the replies, the time limit makes sense now as I purchased the packages for the Escape just before the sailing date. Happy Hump Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefy_mom Posted March 16, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 16, 2023 How much does the arcade package typically cost? I’ll be on the Getaway for 9 days. And can two kids effectively pass the card back and forth? (They are staying in different rooms and I really doubt I’ll want to buy 2x the package.

According to NCL you can share, but must be mindful re: swipe times: The Arcade Package sharing controls includes limiting guests to three (3) swipes every three (3) minutes. If compromised, the card will be disabled for 15 minutes.

Raleigh Traveler Posted March 16, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 16, 2023 This is the pricing from our recent cruise on the Joy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare rjm11 Posted March 16, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 16, 2023 We have found that one card for our two teens works fine- they've easily stayed within the "3 swiped every 3 minutes" rule- many of the games last much more than a minute which is nice. They definitely got their money's worth especially with two using it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Escape last June it cost €136.34 each for both teenagers for a 10 day cruise. I can tell you it was worth every euro! I probably used up that amount on their cards playing pool over the 10 days, neverminded what they used it on 😁 Yes, of course they can share, but be wary of the time limit on each card.
