Onboard Obsession: The Thrill of Go-Karting on a Mega Cruise Ship (2024)

FAQs

Which cruise ship has the go-kart track on it? ›

The Norwegian Prima takes go-karting at sea to a whole other level—literally. Instead of two decks like other Norwegian ships, the Norwegian Prima's 1,400-foot go-kart track is spread over the ship's top three decks.

Ideally, try to memorize a certain distance to brake before the corner, go braking into the corner as you slowly let go off the brakes up until the apex of the corner, and slowly accelerate until full throttle while you keep steering towards the corner exit.

Price. Ten laps around the track on both Norwegian Joy and Norwegian Bliss costs $15. Or you can purchase an unlimited go-karting package for $199 per cruise.

BOLT debuted Carnival's Mardi Gras ship, in 2021 and was billed as the first roller coaster at sea, but the ride is only one of many activities onboard Jubilee: ◾ Lone Star Tailgate: Jubilee, which sails out of Galveston, leans into its Texas roots (there's even a Texas star on its bow).

Here's a list of lengths of some of the Carnival Cruise Line ship's running tracks: Carnival Glory - 10 laps = 1 mile. Carnival Liberty - 9 laps = 1 mile. Carnival Pride - 14 laps = 1 mile.

Remember, slow in = fast out. To maintain a competitive pace, you should also stick to using just one pedal at a time. As well as causing spin-outs and slower lap times, pressing down on the brake and accelerator simultaneously can even cause some karts to cut-out altogether.

In conclusion, a 20-minute go-karting session can be incredibly fulfilling. It offers enough time for beginners to get a feel for the sport and for experienced racers to enjoy a quick, intense race. With the right preparation and focus, these short sessions can be just as rewarding as longer ones.
