Jon_Jen Posted September 6, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Yes, our recent odyssey sailing was book via app when boarded via ships WiFi - though we boarded at 11.30 we didn’t realise until 2pm, by which time all slots - paid and complementary were booked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can't do it till on board and there are free and paid versions of both activities. Edited September 6, 2022 by Biker19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLAW Posted September 6, 2022 #4 Share Posted September 6, 2022 On the Anthem this summer, you could not make reservations until 8 AM each morning on the app for the slots that day. On boarding day, you could make reservations of openings that day only. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted September 7, 2022 #7 Share Posted September 7, 2022 On the Quantum, we could book the entire week on embarkation day. And the free rides sold out fast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has that changed? Are you talking about the paid sessions or the free ones? In regard to the free sessions, since the restart "after" Covid, you cannot book them until you board the ship.

The free sessions were booked very quickly, both this week and last but if you checked daily, there were opening appearing. We had a reservation for a free session that was cancelled due to issues in port but were able to book for another inport date/time. . The paid ones seem to be more readily available. I would suggest you keep checking daily as openings do occur. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad we had the opportunity to book them when we sailed the Odyssey at 17% occupancy last year and enjoy them. I know you can just go stand-by for Northstar since there were a lot of no-shows, but that is hard to do if you want to do it with a larger family as one group. I heard you could even do that for ifly as well, but did not try to go stand-by for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gowensricks Posted September 8, 2022 #13 Share Posted September 8, 2022 On Quantum last month, iFly was $29/pp and North Star was $19/pp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last fall I was on Anthem and had 3 reservations cancelled for the paid and the thing was down a lot or we had bad weather. I think the gang who control Northstar on Anthem had attitude in my opinion. They were nicer on Quantum and it had more hours too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare xpcdoojk Posted September 8, 2022 #15 Share Posted September 8, 2022 North Star is worth about a $1. the IFly is way better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolRoy Posted October 13, 2022 #16 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Will be on the Anthem this December. Are they still charging for the iFly and the North Star. Can you make reservations. If so, when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be confirmed till she starts sailing from Bayonne, but assume free sessions on port days and paid ones otherwise. Book them via the app early in the sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paid one they move around, going over the side. Probably some youtube videos out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to one of their locations, you pay a lot more (and it's probably a longer experience). So, yeah, have done both multiple times. I think it was a bit over $100 for both of us 5 years ago to do the IFly on land. It was 10 minutes, in a much larger tube with far greater wind speeds. Much better experience, as you are allowed to fly on your own, albeit a foot above the bottom. You get to experiment with using your hands to make you spin in a certain direction, then the other. The experiences are completely different. The ship experience is not worth near what the land experience is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare perfect match Posted October 14, 2022 #23 Share Posted October 14, 2022 We’re on Odyssey in April, our first time on a Quantum class ship. We’re looking forward to trying both North Star and iFly. We’re driving to FLL the day before we sail so I’m planning to check in as early as possible so we get an early boarding time. I’m not much of a morning person so I don’t usually bother with an early boarding time, but since we’ll have to be out of our hotel anyway and we’ll be close to port I might as well take advantage of the opportunity. I really hate having to wait until we board to be able to book things like North Star, iFly, and shows. All I want to have to think about on boarding day is settling in and having fun. I know I’m dreaming, but I really wish they’d let us go back to prebooking shows and activities. I’m not holding my breath waiting for it to happen, though. 😟 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
