RCL outdoes NCL with water park

[rydan]

You can see it in the pick, its just not as high as Breeze .

 

 

It's ok, I'm short[emoji2]

RCL outdoes NCL with everything

 

 

I agree, but there is the price difference.

RCCL in my opinion has hands down the best ship innovations.

 

But if you want Oasis or Quantum class, you're going to pay a considerable higher per diem for it.

 

We still think Disney was the best overall family cruise experience.

Sure, but Disney Inside costs the same as the Haven without all the perks.

RCL is building there largest ship ever the Ovation of the sea will have the lines first waterpark at sea. Featuring a 10 story spiral slide "THE ABYSS" by far the longest slide of any ship.

 

Watch for these Abyss slides (there will be two of them intertwined) to be dry slides - think of it as an express route from upper deck to the Boardwalk.

 

I had always hoped a ship would build a huge slide inside the ship to go from upper decks to lower decks - this will be pretty cool, IMO. I just wonder how long the wait line to get down will be if they wait for people to exit the slide before the next person can go.

2) When we started cruising it was a complete 180 from the experience it is today.

 

 

In which direction?

 

 

a) You traveled in reverse?

 

b) you slept on the outside of the ship, and admired the water from the inside?

 

c) the hull was on top, and the sundeck underwater?

 

d) the propulsion was manual, not mechanical?

 

e) you served the crew at mealtimes?

 

 

 

Did I miss something? I'm not sure I would have enjoyed that 180 degree difference from today's cruise product.

My daughter can spend hours and hours in a splash zone and that is an important criteria for us. The NCL ships (at least Breakaway/Getaway) have a very small are that is geared for younger kids, although you do see kids that are too old for the area jumping around...which might suggest that having one similar to the ones on Breeze and the new one on Harmony on NCL would be a great option. I'd be hard-pressed to go back on Carnival but the Vista looks good for the kid's stuff. We're on Oasis next week (first time back on RCI in a while). Not quite sure about it but Harmony might be a good option for us in the future. Just wish we didn't have to go to the same old islands.

Apart from your sillyness and trying to be clever, if you didn't cruise in the 70's and 80's then you definatly missed something.

I didn't cruise in the 70's & 80's because everything about it was unappealing.

 

I cringe at the notion of being assigned 6 other people to eat with.....all week.

 

 

In the 70's & 80's we traveled the world using our time-share instead.

 

 

Now that cruising is more palatable, we do this most of the time.

Well it was more open to new ideas and meeting new people. Certainly that's not today's world cruising or otherwise.

Have to agree: we still love cruising but for a different reason than years past. I don't think people realize what it was like, how special everything made you feel and still, there were plenty of activities to keep us all as busy as we wanted to be.
