If anyone is interested in the price. It seems ridiculously high. I planned to go on the North Star this time round, but these prices man.

I don't recall it being this expensive onboard but u can maybe try when u are onboard.

 

I'm happy i did it while it was still free.

Do You remember roughly how much it was back then?

[Ethanol95]

Ripcord IFly prices also not cheap.

Just going of ovation, I did it a couple of times but I thought it was pretty unimpressive.

It was SGD10.88 per person on our 24 Dec trip. We booked 3 weeks prior to sailing and on the ship the price had increased to more than SGD25 per person. It was okay for $10 each - but that would be my limit. 

 

Nice view but we don’t intend to do it again on our upcoming 2nd cruise to nowhere (at any price).

Interested in how you will be welcomed at  ports.  If you will be restricted to cruise only tours.  What will be different regarding dining, shows etc.  So many questions.

Jimbo,  in the above facebook video it looks like the royal caribbean guy is weighted down when helping the guest.

If it wasn't clear enough, this sailing does not call any port of calls. Only embarkation and debarkation in Singapore

I would have paid $10 gladly for the experience. $27 on the other hand is a rip off.

That was a woman, she was tiny yes I believe she had some weight in her suit to help assist people getting stabilized. After everyone went she then did the  demo, but she didn't take any weight out of her suit...........I believe but not positive when she went they turned up the speed of the fans when she was doing her tricks.

 

From what I was told the speed of the fans are also adjusted to what your weight is.

Yay; thank you for doing this!

My personal guess.

 

The Staff remains in the standing position which reduces their surface area. That makes it difficult for the fans to really blow them upwards. For people who done the ifly, i believe you are instructed to 'fall' into the chamber so you will be more in a lying down position which increases ur surface area for the fans to keep you afloat.

 

For the demo, the fan speeds are increased mainly to enable the staff to fly much higher and do the stunts they do as you would not want any participants to be able to get that high up into the chamber as the staff is unable to assist. 

 

I don't really think any weights are involved.

Anybody know what happened to American Icon and Silk Restaurant? It disappeared from Quantum?

Which version of deck plan do you see their disappearance? I still see them on the 2022 version.

Yeah i went to deckplans to see if they were there, but they are no longer listed as individual restaurants on the main dining website for Quantum. Chic and Grande are gone though.

In December we booked once onboard, it was 40 usd per pax. 
 

I don’t recall the price of the North Star. 
 

I’m also on this sailing, so on  a side note I’ve been monitoring the following; the deluxe drink package was 54 sgd but went up to 73 sgd.  

 

The unlimited dining plan was 101sgd and is now 111 sgd.

Yeah I booked it as soon as I saw it was fixed.  I don’t know if you noticed but the app thinks it’s a 15 days cruise.   In the rush to get these sailing on the site I think RC IT took a shortcut and it didn’t work to well.

Yeah kinda got me when it said March 22 - April 5th. Have you been checking UDP prices for a while now? Should i get it now? The app is super buggy recently. Can't even see my sailing anymore. Just stuck on the Terms Of Use screen.
