Ilovesailaway Posted November 7, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Just watched a vid on youtube where the posters are on the Celebration inaugural today... they report it's $19 to ride Bolt. I thought $15 was high. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joebucks Posted November 7, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Supply and demand. If no one goes on it, the price won't be $19. If the lines are long, the price goes up. You are not owed a free roller coaster ride. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not owed a free roller coaster ride. Nothing is free on a cruise ship. Included is a better word. The ride doesn't have to be included obviously. Everyone has to decide if it's worth it to them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2tcdx2 Posted November 7, 2022 #11 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I have to say I was a bit on the fence about paying $15 to ride, not sure that I would pay $19. Seems kind of sad that they decided it was something to charge for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisCJR Posted November 7, 2022 #12 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I don't ever see it going down either. They're more likely to remove it than charge less for it. I suspect they kind of regret having it in the first place. The maintenance is probably horrendous. Honestly though, it gives other passengers something to do. Less people in line for things that I enjoy. So, I hope it lasts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT1962 Posted November 7, 2022 #13 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I’m not sure the $ 19 price is official. If the video the OP saw was the same one I saw, it was 2 guys giving a live walk-through of the ship. They were on deck at night in the rain, pointed out the Bolt, said they rode it on the Mardi Gras and weren’t sure they would ride it on Celebration and mentioned it cost $ 19. Maybe that is correct or maybe they just mis-remembered the price they paid on Mardi Gras. They did not show any price list or sign with a price, that I saw. Whether $ 15 or $ 19, it’s not worth it to me for 2 trips around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no sign in the video I saw, just a passing comment that they mentioned they weren’t sure if they were going to do it because it cost $19. My first thought was it was 15 pounds which might equal US$19, but that’s only the equivalent to around US$17 currently.

And from what I've seen in vlogs, it's often closed when windy or in bad weather. I think what RCL did with their SeaPlex was what I would rather see more of. A multi-use space that can offer different events for larger groups of people at once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it somewhat balances out if you want to ride Bolt considering the food venues where there isn't a fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted November 7, 2022 #18 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I am glad they are charging! We were on the Vista twice right before the shutdown and my hubby could never get on the skyride because the same teens/kids kept doing it then getting back in line. Constantly, same kids... if they had to pay then other people could have done it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they cutting in line? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other people were there complaining about it, also. So many kids just spending the whole day there, over and over. So yes, you could get in line, and ride it eventually, but a lot of people didn't as they had other things to do instead of stand in line for an hour.

cruizinisthebest Posted November 8, 2022 #22 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I paid $15 for it on MG and would pay $19 on Celebration. It was fun. And worth it. It remains optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kona_wahine Posted November 8, 2022 #23 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Wow, first I heard there was a charge. I guess I’d pay it….once. We rode the gocarts on the NCL Encore a couple times up to Alaska, one time it was just my hubby and I. I kicked his butt! They seemed to give us extra time, since it was a COLD and slow day. That was totally worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At $19 and figure half the cruisers will do it, that is $60k for a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwcruiselover Posted November 8, 2022 #25 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I am currently on the Celebration TA, and I can confirm that the price is indeed $19.00. It hasn’t been open since sailed on Sunday because of rough seas and inclement weather. Hopefully that will improve once we head south and the Bolt will be open. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
