I thought I read that it was available on all ships to anyone willing to pay $150.

[bubbadog]

I think so,but only 12 people which are selected from a drawing,can go on the tour,so it takes a lil bit of luck too;)

[Alessandrina]

Yes the Ultimate Ship Tour ($150) is available on the Caribbean Princess.

Cheers.

Yes, I returned home from the Caribbean Princess yesterday. I did the Ultimate Ship Tour for $150. It was limited to 12 people and held on Thursday afternoon (during our stop in Antigua). The tour was wonderful and I would highly recommend it! We visited many very interesting areas of the ship and received gifts during the tour. The tour concluded with a tour of the bridge conducted by the captain and a champagne reception on the bridge. Also, a ship's photographer took photos during the tour and gave us copies of the photos (us with the captain, in the ship's funnel, in the engine control room, on stage with two of the dancers).

 

There was a sign-up sheet at the passenger services desk that we signed immediately after boarding. There is a "drawing" to select who will particpate in the tour.

 

This tour was one of the highlights of the cruise for me.

I don't think so. My TA told me it was $150.00 each. Still would like to try it out once though.

[TonyFred]

Definitely 150 per person but I am still going to try for it on the Golden next week.

Per person, and worth every penny, IMHO. It says a 3-hour tour but we were on ours for almost four hours. Fabulous. I'd do it again.

Not so on the Star--only 10 of us signed up and we were the ones who took the tour--6 men and 4 women----just about 3 weeks ago

 

Also, there was only one Chef's Table on a 2-1/2 week cruise--no drawing for that either--just 10 signing up

 

Looks like folks are hanging on to their money with a tight hand--probably a lot smarter than I seem to be

That might be unusual, but I don't know. When I went to sign up on the Sapphire right after embarkation, there were already 7 people on the list and there were still 24 hours to go for sign-up. I'm pretty sure there was a wait list for ours.

[BalconyGal]

Do I have to go to the Purser's desk to put my name on the list?

Thanks

[Pam in CA]

Do I have to go to the Purser's desk to put my name on the list?

Yes. On the Sapphire, they had a clipboard with a sign-up sheet at the Pursar's desk. It was there upon embarkation.

It's really strange--from everything I had been reading about the tour I knew we should race to the sign-up sheet as soon as we embarked--we did --there were 2 names on it before we signed--we asked a couple of times when the names would be released--we wanted to know if we were going to be lucky ones--they put us off for awhile and then told us that someone had the list and that we would be notified within 24 hours--there was never more than 10 names--I'm thinking that they are drawing out of a hat.

 

Same deal with the Chef's table--only once--and we were some of the same as on the ships tour--with these two things happening about 3 weeks ago it makes you wonder what is going on. I was sure a believer and wanted to be chosen--they were only waiting to hope for more names.

 

Pam--looks like you live somewhat in my area--I'm in Seal Beach--Old Town--when you area was pretty new I sold some homes there--was always lost !!!

I was on the Crown on 4/19 and was the first to sign up, thanks to all you CC's that turned me on to this once in a lifetime event. It was everything and more. I spoke with a crew member that said they actually pick the first twelve that sign up and not out of a hat. This crewmember also said that thanks to Cruise Critic they always fill up very fast. This crewmember also said she really appreciated CC because it kept them on their toes.:rolleyes:

[Happy2Cruise4Fun]

Is there an age limit for the tour? I know my son (10) would like to do this if we were lucky enough to get picked.

[seacruise9]

I think approximately 25 people signed up for the tour on the Caribbean Princess last week. Thus, half the people who signed up for the tour were able to take it. The cost is $150 per person.

[firefly4423]

hmm only 150? I didnt know they limited it

[terri1020]

Thanks for the info. I'll look into it as soon as we board. What a great surprise for my dh if it works out!

There was a young girl on our tour, I think she was 13, and they did mention that they had to get special permission for her to be on the tour.

Where is the passenger services desk? First time cruisers, need to know these things! :D

 

Thanks

The Passenger Services Desk, aka Pursar's Desk, is usually located on Deck 6 mid-ship in the Atrium.

[BobandToni]

Grazie!

seacruise9 did you have second seating in the palm dining room? Im wondering if you were sitting behind us, we were the "Coke guy" table.

 

My brother-in law "coke guy" did the tour and loved it, would do it again in a second. The $150.00 fee is how you look at it. The bath robe you get on the tour is priced at $90.00 plus and if you price pictures the tour you are definately getting more for you buck. His only disapointment of the tour was you cant go to the engine room due to security reasons but other then that worth going for.

I know in an earlier thread it was talked about all the "free stuff" that went along with the UST. Is that still the case? My wife and I plan on taking the tour (I hope) and I am just curious.............
