You can reserve a spot via your stateroom television. While your cruise may be different, we’d highly suggest making some reservations for your spot the instant you get on the ship. The racetrack is by far one of the most popular parts of the ship.

Smaller riders can go with larger drivers to also enjoy the track. Note that some websites showing the minimum height of 48 inches, but on the ship it was in fact listed as 55 inches to drive alone. As long as you are tall enough, you can drive. The good news is that there aren’t age requirements. If you want to drive alone, then you need to be at least 55 inches tall (4′ 7″). There are no lockers available to store your bags while you drive. Also be sure to leave your bags in the room or with someone watching your race.
As well, you don’t want to wear anything loose or baggy that might catch on the wheels, such as a scarf or an open jacket. Be Dressed for Racingĭue to safety concerns, you need to be dress appropriately to race the cars. We’ve seen prices quoted around $200 for a week-long cruise. There are unlimited passes available that allow you to go the entire length of your trip. Want to go three times during your trip? That’s $45. While prices can change at anytime, as we go to press you’ll pay $15 per person for your turn on the track. If there is one bad thing about the racetrack on Norwegian, it’s that the activity isn’t free. Rides Cost $15 Per Person (Unlimited Passes Are Available) It’s a little funny at first but really does make it feel like you are going faster. To help add to the ambiance, there are engine noises emitted by the cars to make them sounds like they are real race cars. They are actually electric and don’t emit exhaust as they zoom around the track. With cruise ships trying to more “green” you might be wondering about fuel for the go-karts. The Carts Are Electric with Gas Engine Sounds While most riders decide to drive a single cart, you can ride with two people in a double go-kart. Want to drive with a smaller child? Or maybe you just want to share the experience with someone? You don’t have to drive alone. One-Seaters and Two-Seaters Are Available It’s also a double-decker track, with a hill climb right at the start and a downhill section at the end to bring you back to the start/finish line. In a compact space the track packs a lot in, including a ton of corners, twists and turns. It only takes about 30 seconds to make a lap. The Laps Take About 30 SecondsĪs you’d expect on a racetrack on a ship, the course isn’t that long. For now, however, only those lucky cruisers on these newer ships get to enjoy the experience. Given the popularity of the track, we could envision future ships being built with the track or older ships being refurbished to add the speedway.
These are NCL’s largest and newest ships. Will your ship have the racetrack? As of now, only two ships have the tracks at sea: Norwegian Bliss and Norwegian Joy. Go-kart Tracks Are Available on the Bliss and Joy We recently tried the racetrack at sea for ourselves and here is everything you need to know… If you’re about to sail on a Norwegian ship with one of the tracks, then you’re likely interested in some more details about the go-kart and what you can expect. They are also a perfect example of the kind of strides that today’s ships are making in entertainment while at sea. Even now a few years later, the speedways continue to be one of the more popular attractions on a cruise ship. When Norwegian Cruise Lines debuted the first racetrack at sea with go-karts, it made big news.
