We were on the Sky a couple of weeks ago and the BTS tours were available.

Going on the Joy at the end of May, hoping the tour returns, since I turned Platinum, it has been closed.

What is price for the tour if you are not yet platinum?

[Giveitatry2023]

Do you know if a platinum member could take their grandchildren along? 

[Sailing12Away]

Tour is only for latitudes guests that have reached status. Not sure of the paid one of there is an age limit.

 

Tour is running on the Joy right now.

Unlikely.

 

Somehow my husband and I have accumulated a different number of latitude points, even though we were on the same cruises in the same stateroom each time.. I was platinum; he wasn't . Only I could go on the tour. then there was Covid. This next cruise, we'll be sure to sign up for the tour.

I was just on the Dawn and I am Platinum and BF wasn't and he could not go. I couldn't even send him in my place.

Years ago I remember looking into that and I believe it was about $300

Are you able to go on the tour if you use a rollator or foldup scooter?

When I did it on the Star last week, there were 5-6 flights of stairs involved. For example, it was 3 flights from the theater stage up to the dressing rooms.

Ha ha, yes, I was going to ask for the kids menu but didn't think he could pass for 12.😉

It was a disappointing tour, theater, laundry and brief kitchen stop with 2 groups of 15 each and lasted less than 45 minutes. I had done 2 quite a few years ago and saw a lot more.

The tour involves moving up and down narrow, steep crew stairs and in small spaces. While they will allow passengers to use crew elevators, you are likely going to be playing "catch up" with the rest of the group. The Platinum tour typically includes the theater dressing rooms, [sometimes] provisioning freezers, laundry, and galley.

The last couple they started out with exclusions including canes, etc.

[DZ77]

how much does the back of scene tour cost and can you use your shore excursion credit for it?

It's $89 but is a much longer tour than the free platinum tour.

 

[Happycrafter123]

Thank you @ziggyuk that is great!  Looks like something hubby and I would enjoy so will ask about it when we board next.

[Sailing12Away]

The paid tour includes a visit to the bridge and one other place that the free one skips. Make sure you have closed toe shoes.

I hope that they will have it on the JOY.  It used to be free for Platinum and above, and it will be our first cruise on the Joy, so I would love it.
