RogBus101 Posted August 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Has anyone did the behind the fun tour on a 7 day cruise on the Ecstasy? What was the cost and was it worth it? The reason I'm asking is carnivals web page says 55.00 to 95.00 dollars depending on length of cruise. Rogbus101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepeka Posted August 26, 2017 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2017 It was $95/pp on an eight day cruise on Miracle; likewise on an eight day cruise on Freedom so I'm thinking a seven day would also be $95. We've never done BtF on a Fantasy class ship so I don't know if that affects the price or if it's strictly the length of the cruise that determines price.

RogBus101 Posted August 26, 2017 Author #3 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Thanks! Do you recommend it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepeka Posted August 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Yes I do. We obviously saw areas normally off limits to passengers (showroom back stage, galley, engineering room, bridge, etc.) and while there is a lot of walking (and stair climbing), it was pretty fascinating. If you have the time and the money, I think just about everyone should try it at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SadieN Posted August 26, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Have done it on the Paradise and Inspiration. Very informative. Just know that many of the crew stairs are more like ladders. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilcruisers Posted August 26, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 26, 2017 We did it on the breeze and very worth 95. Pp. it is a full 4 hours like advertised and lots of walking. We had some older people in our group so they were a little slower but everyone has to keep together and stay with the guide and security. Very informative, especially if you enjoy cruising as we do. They had a little celebration afterwards and you get three free pictures because you cannot take photos nor take cell phones with you. Must wear closed toe shoes and they check you in because you are going into secure areas. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogBus101 Posted August 27, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Do you tour the bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joepeka Posted August 27, 2017 #9 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Do you tour the bridge? Yes you do unless something unforeseen happens and they have to cancel that portion. Also (unless they've changed it) you will have photos taken with the Captain (if available) which will be delivered to you later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogBus101 Posted August 27, 2017 Author #10 Share Posted August 27, 2017 That would be cool! Hope we get to experience it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseCuriosity Posted August 27, 2017 #11 Share Posted August 27, 2017 We're cruising on the Breeze in January (first cruise ever!). My husband and I would really like to sign up for this. Can you remind me where we go on embarkation day to register? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilcruisers Posted August 27, 2017 #12 Share Posted August 27, 2017 We're cruising on the Breeze in January (first cruise ever!). My husband and I would really like to sign up for this. Can you remind me where we go on embarkation day to register? Thanks in advance! As soon as we boarded the ship we went to the excursion desk and booked. They will make sure to tell you final sale and it will be held the last sea day of the cruise. It was so fun. Highly recommended. They supposedly only do one but when we were on there were two groups of 12 or 16 I can't remember. They staggered our tour times but we're both same day.
