Vancity Cruiser Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Going on Ovation in September, first time on a quantum class. I was under the impression that things like ifly and northstar were included but watching some you tube videos it is sometimes mentioned there is a cost associated. Can anyone who has sailed Quantum class verify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAAAYTOOO Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 They charge for iFly and NorthStar if you are on a sailing out of China, otherwise, they are complementary Vancity Cruiser and RCIfan1912 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense why I saw some videos of them mentioning a charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNoodles Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 There is a charge for the NorthStar on Alaska on the glacier day, when the ship goes deep into a fjord and spins around for an hour. It's was the only time (at least on our sailing) that the boom went out over out over the ocean, perpendicular to the ship. Any other time the NorthStar was free and only operated up and down. (Hopefully that made sense. If not, have a beer and try reading it again in 10 minutes).

I believe that @twangster took advantage of this activity on one of his sailings. Should be in his Ovation Alaskan blog. 12thman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were on Anthem sailing out of the UK and were charged 29pounds for the NorthStar. So on Ovation, who knows? WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may have been an extra they paid for as it went out over the side of the ship as well. Apparently when @twangster paid for the extra charge in Alaska it went over the side as well. So maybe free to go up and down, extra charge for a full ride out over the side of the ship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonCruiser Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 I got a nice promo email from RCI today about all the free things you can do on Odyssey and ugly and North star were still included. So it seems to vary all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
