BND Posted October 28, 2021 #6 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Well, let's see. It has the Royal logo, so, yes. Why does it bother you? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted October 28, 2021 Author #10 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Found the picture somewhere, think it was priceline. Just have never seen a waterslide on a Royal Caribbean ship. Don't like it, rather just see that on a Water Park or at Coco Cay. Just doesn't belong on a cruise ship IMHO. Anyone agree with me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you need to choose a different cruise line. RCI has decided that this is what their customers want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respectfully... no, I do not agree with you. The waterslides are the highlight of our kid's cruise experience. And in my advanced age, I've been known to enjoy a slide or seven. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neverbeenhere Posted October 28, 2021 #13 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Yup, this is for the target market. But we still enjoy Royal as we don’t frequent those areas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Harmony and Symphony launched with them. They AMP'd (or refurbed) and added water slides to Voyager, Mariner, Navigator, Adventure, Freedom, Indy, Liberty, & the pictured Oasis. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I meant to say, never saw a water slide as large as that one on a Royal Ship...............Have seen smaller shorter ones then the above one I posted.

Agree, looks very ugly for real ship lovers but many Royal ships have them added now (All Freedom and Voyager Class exept Explorer and now Oasis as well).

Another_Critic Posted October 28, 2021 #18 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) I rode all 3 water slides and Ultimate Abyss (dry slide) multiple times last week on Oasis. 🙂 P.S. I'm going to miss the slides when sailing on Anthem and Enchantment. Edited October 28, 2021 by Another_Critic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of fake ship lovers really enjoy having them there. They were a blast on the ships I've been on (and FWIW, I'm over 50, and have lots and lots of cruises). I think it's great that there are options and new features on ships. Especially since one can easily choose to sail on a ship that doesn't have the new options. Good think we are not forced to go on cruises.... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONECRUISER Posted October 28, 2021 #22 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Nothing new. When started on Royal in 80's you could Skeet Shoot and hit Golf Balls off open Deck. 90's Ice Skating and Roller Blade. 2000's Rock Climbing. And Now... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took away some deck space that had loungers but as you say....most of it was blank air as it was built up on stilts/supports. Allure is currently the only Oasis class ship without the slides. It was supposed to get them during the amplification but that didn't happen ...due to COVID and all the cuts Allure's amplification just became a dry dock.

That is one of three on Oasis. Pretty much the same as Harmony and Symphony. FWIW, on Oasis class they blend in to the superstructure fairly well. Very different than the ones they added to back of Voyager and Freedom ships 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t look like too much space was sacrificed, which is good. Just gotta keep things in balance. Some lines are building ships with so many “toys” you lose the concept of a lido deck. Especially if big chunks of what space is left over are turnEd over to pay areas or exclusive ship-within-a-ship zones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
