While Carnival is known for having a lot included with the cruise fare, the Bolt roller coaster is an extra cost. At the time of this writing, the price is $15 per person, per ride. So if two kids want to ride, that’s a total of $30.
Currently only Carnival’s newest and largest ships have the Bolt roller coaster. That includes Mardi Gras, where the ride debuted, and Carnival Celebration. Another ship in the class — Carnival Jubilee — debuts in late 2023. It is expected to also have the ride, although that could change.
While any roller coaster at sea is impressive, it is still bound by the limitations of fitting on the cruise ship. For that reason, the ride is actually fairly short. It makes two laps around the top of the ship, lasting about one minute before coming back into the starting point.
Traveling with kids? One good thing is that there is no age limit to ride. However, there are height and weight requirements that must be met. For that reason, younger kids (those younger than 8 years old) aren’t likely to be able to ride.
Yes. To ride Bolt, you must be a minimum of 4 feet, 4 inches tall (52 inches), up to a maximum of 6 feet, 5 inches tall (77 inches). Those below or above that height won’t be able to ride. While no minimum weight is listed, the maximum is 300 pounds per rider. There is a station at the base of the ride to check that you meet the requirements (don’t...
Bolt is a one or two-person ride. When the ride is operating, there are two different carts on the track at once, each offering two seats. You can choose to ride solo or with someone else. So the most on any car at once is two, and the most on the track at once is four.
To ride Bolt, you need to sign up within the Carnival Hub app. Within the app’s menu is a section for the coaster. Click there and it will offer up the times that are available to ride. Bolt operates in 30-minute windows for riders. So you sign up for a time — say, 4:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. — and you simply show up to ride anywhere within that window....
This roller coaster is unique in that you have a throttle handle and a “boost” button. So you can actually control your speed somewhat. Want to go faster? Turn the throttle handle toward you and hit the boost. Want to slow down? Let the throttle turn back forward to decrease speed (you’ll still move and won’t stop on the track). The top speed on Bo...
If you love thrill rides, then you’ll love Bolt. Unlike a conventional roller coaster, there are no huge drops or inverted loops. Instead, it’s a fast start, a big horizontal loop around the back of the ship before a fast exit to some up and down parts of the track before you circle back around the funnel. It’s fast, it’s fun, and it’s exhilarating...
Carnival is known for being casual, but there are some requirements on what to wear. First, you must wear closed-toe shoes. As well, pants or shorts are also required (no riding in a bathing suit alone). If you wear glasses, Carnival’s policies say they must be held with a head strap if they are going to be worn.
Bolt is the first roller coaster at sea. Guests on the Carnival Mardi Gras can ride it for a fee. Guests are supposed to get two laps. The right handlebar fe...
