The Fun Researcher Posted November 27, 2023 #51 Share Posted November 27, 2023 $89? Hard Pass. Sad, because it's something I know our family would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did it in port which was much more interesting. They are charging to control capacity. On port days there are few people on the ship so it's not an issue. On Sea days everyone is on the ship so they charge. Same principal apples to Crowns edge. Even if they ran it 24/7 they could still not put through 50% of the guests on board, Hence they charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many posts I saw when it was still in planning before there was a fee said they would not do it. $90 is a money grab, not crowd control. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deliver42 Posted November 28, 2023 #55 Share Posted November 28, 2023 My problem isn't so much that there's a fee, but the amount. $89.00 is much too much. I can see $25.00 or something in that area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare irun5k Posted December 5, 2023 #56 Share Posted December 5, 2023 We are long time RCI cruisers, going back over 25 years. We went on the new Carnival Celebration earlier this year and were very impressed. The ropes course was free and really good, there were a number of free dining options beyond the buffet and MDR and some very reasonable paid experiences- we had some great food at Emril's for just a few bucks, for example. For what they are charging for Perfect Day water park we could get a fun pass to Busch Gardens or their water park (or maybe both, during a sale) and enjoy the parks all year. Speciality dining costs are now more than what you'd pay for a better restaurant on land in many cases. Of course all these pay-to-play options are just that- options. That being said, it was nice to be on the Celebration and enjoy what felt like more for less. The cruise fare was also lower than anything comparable on RCI at that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
