Rare IntrepidFromDC Posted May 31, 2021 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Does anybody know? Anybody wanna guess? I'll start the bidding at $45. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted May 31, 2021 #2 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I don't know, but it is supposed to only take 20-30 seconds for once around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNcruising02 Posted May 31, 2021 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2021 My guess is $10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SRQbeachgirl Posted May 31, 2021 #4 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I'll guess $39. Haven't decided if I'll ride it or not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amcankid Posted May 31, 2021 #5 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Originally it was supposed to be free. But of course some of the suits got involved and decided that free don’t make Carnival no money!!(sorry for the double negative). Niw my understanding is it’s supposed to be a “nominal” fee. I’m guessing 10 bucks. And then they’ll look at how popular it is and adjust the price from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted May 31, 2021 #6 Share Posted May 31, 2021 It added $8 million to the cost of the ship and when it works can handle 190 riders/hour. Weight limit 300 pounds. Therefore how many pancakes will fit on the funnel? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoneman69 Posted May 31, 2021 #7 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Why should they charge. Should be an attraction that draws you to the ship for sailing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising with kiddos Posted May 31, 2021 #8 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Honestly a little bummed that they changed the "rules" on it after people booked and prior to even sailing the ship. While I completely understand the loss of money during the shutdown, it is disappointing the change was made. It won't stop us from giving it a try (provided it's reasonable in price).

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted May 31, 2021 #9 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I can't imagine it would be more than five bucks for a ride. Tom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of Iowa Posted May 31, 2021 #10 Share Posted May 31, 2021 $8m sounds like a big cost - but at $10 per rider, it could recoup the original expense in ~2 years. Maybe then, they could consider dropping the fee? Or perhaps the cruiseline will become addicted to the money like airlines are to bag fees...

I'm disappointed too they charge. Carnival is moving more and more this direction. Big chicken isnt a plus for me either. I am to the point I've said no more fried chicken. Not even for special occasions for family. Add me to the list of I probably wouldnt fly for this ship the way its adding on extras. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BlerkOne Posted May 31, 2021 #12 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I have a solution - make the ride free for vaccinated folks and give them a priority line. Everybody else, $50. 6 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare 1025cruise Posted May 31, 2021 #13 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I thought the Bolt was always going to have a charge, just not yet determined. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaks down when riding is one thing. If that happened to me. OK at least I got some what of a ride and a nice view till they get me down. However, you are so correct. There is always some stupid idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidecat Posted May 31, 2021 #17 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I wonder if Carnival will include a benefit for Bolt in Faster to the Fun such as one free ride or an exclusive window for just those with FTTF to ride it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherries Jubilee Posted May 31, 2021 #18 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Hopefully no more than $10. I’ll go on it once for that but probably never again. I’m sure they’ll have to have some sort of unlimited ride pass too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a lot more fun than the $9.00 a game for miniature bowling on the MSC Divina. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
