OCMEGAN Posted April 18, 2005 #2 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Hi I was on the Pride April 10th through the 17th and the waterslide was broken. It has been down for the last three weeks. I was mad. Megan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serene56 Posted April 18, 2005 #4 Share Posted April 18, 2005 When you are stating that the slide was closed during your cruise could you tell us if it was windy or cool out on that deck during your week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emporess Posted April 18, 2005 #5 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Slide closed on the Spirit 3/25 sailing. The weather was a bit chilly, but fine after the first at sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runner Girl Posted April 18, 2005 #6 Share Posted April 18, 2005 hmmm. interesting. We were on the Conquest in Feb. A person in our group had slipped on deck the first day at sea and hurt his hand. He saw the ship's doctor and did a follow up in Grand Cayman. The ship's medical staff was great! But what was kind of odd and creepy in a way was on the last day at sea, we all decided we had to go down the slide. When our friend who had fallen got down the slide, the ships doctor was waiting at the bottom to ask him how his hand was feeling. Hmmm. We've talked about that several times and wonder if he was there to let us know that he'd been seen on the slide or to head off any thoughts of lawsuit. It was just weird.

ccnwater Posted April 18, 2005 #7 Share Posted April 18, 2005 The Valor slide was open Easter week, Mar27-April3. The kids had a blast on it! Everyday it was open, sea days it opened at 10:00am, the other days was about noon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2boyzmom Posted April 18, 2005 #8 Share Posted April 18, 2005 From what I have read over the past few months is it's the slide on The Legend that has been steadily closed down. Now that the ship is in dry dock, maybe it'll be repaired ( I hope ):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeleent Posted April 18, 2005 #9 Share Posted April 18, 2005 We were on the sensation 4/9-4/14. It was open on the normal times listed on the capers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kids21 Posted April 18, 2005 #10 Share Posted April 18, 2005 My family will be going on the Legend the first week in June,(first cruise) do you think it will be open? How long does it take to fix? Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabum Posted April 18, 2005 #11 Share Posted April 18, 2005 We were on the Pride 04/03/05 - 04/10/05. The slide was shut down the entire week. Disappointed as it was fun last year on the Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bankofdad Posted April 18, 2005 #12 Share Posted April 18, 2005 We just got off the Triumph this past Saturday, 4/16, and the slide was open all week. We had a great time on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOANN226 Posted April 19, 2005 #14 Share Posted April 19, 2005 You mentioned the Legend is in dry dock? Why? what is the problem with the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyImagination Posted April 19, 2005 #15 Share Posted April 19, 2005 You mentioned the Legend is in dry dock? Why? what is the problem with theship? All ships go into drydock every 2-3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellesleyIslander Posted April 19, 2005 #16 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I was on the Glory on 4/9-4/16 and the slide was open most of the time. I think they closed it on a few windy days, but for the most part, it was open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwe21 Posted April 19, 2005 #17 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Yup, it was open on the Elation as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunkey1 Posted April 20, 2005 #18 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Someone has mentioned a possible lawsuit over a waterslide incident. Don't know if there is any truth to this rumor but will say that when my husband went down the slide on the Legend he said he slammed into a wall of sorts that they have at the end of the landing pool. He said there's not enough of an incline to slow you down sufficiently before hitting that wall. Probably all of the Spirit class slides are similar and those are the ones that seem to be shut down. So it could be that someone had an accident with one of these walls and they are trying to figure out a fix. He has been down slides on the Destiny and Victory and said those were set up differently.

kids21 Posted April 20, 2005 #19 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Legend is in drydock. That means it will be good and ready for us. :) Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litewait Posted April 20, 2005 #20 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Spirits was closed the entire week of April 2-10. Absolutely could have been open atleast 5 of the days. Probably not the 1st 1 or last 2 but all the other days were fine. My son was very dissapointed. I think the problem may be with the slides that don't go into the pools. The Elations went into the pool and was no problem, the Spirits goes into a little box of water at the end. That in itself was bad since all the pictures lead you to believe otherwise. Happy Cruising, Donna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mzmoto Posted April 20, 2005 #21 Share Posted April 20, 2005 FYI - Just spoke to my mother live from the Pride. The waterslide is closed, but she spoke to someone named Katherin that works on the ship who said it should be open by my sail date of May 15th. One can only hope...

mnsawyer Posted April 21, 2005 #22 Share Posted April 21, 2005 We sailed on the Glory last week - 4/9 and it was open - used it several times myself! Hours were 12:00 - 5:00 p.m. It was even open on our first sea day which was very windy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunkey1 Posted April 21, 2005 #23 Share Posted April 21, 2005 So it is looking like it's just the Spirit class slides that are closed. Maybe it does have something to do with the way that wall is placed in the landing area. Time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
