NCL BLISS ~ UNLIMITED GO KART PACKAGES

NCL Bliss is enhancing their popular new go karts at sea by offering unlimited day and weekly passes. It is only available onboard at this time.  According to NCL the guests who purchase an unlimited pass will wait in a separate line from the ones who have purchased an individual ride.   How will that effect the wait to ride these awesome little racers?

At this time the prices are $29.95 for an unlimited day pass per guest and $99.95 for a full week unlimited pass per guest. For those wishing to just pay for an individual ride, it is $9.95 per ride. S ome may think this is a little pricey for the exciting 8 minute ride.

What do you think? Is it worth it?
