Water slide

[lovetocruise09]

Hey all this is my first carnival cruise. I was wondering if the water slide is a fun as it looks ;)

[lovetocruise09]

BUCKLE UP BUTTERCUP

[photojunkieEMT]

Let me know if you can get to the bottom without a smile on your face. I laugh so hard everytime because when I sit and grab my ankles to go down, I go so fast I can't keep hold of my ankles and have actually all but flipped onto my belly going that fast.

This way UP to the waterslide...

 

 

 

OMG! I'm going down all of that?!

 

 

................

 

 

Yes, and you start right here!

 

Hopefully these pics answer some of your questions.

OMG sounds awesome so is it best to just lay straight back

[poobears]

Will they let you take an underwater camera down with you? Not sure I'm coordinated enough to snap a pic on the way down though LOL

[madaamt]

aplmac, Awesome pics... I got butterflies in my stomach.. I love those dang slides.. Don't you just love CARNIVAL?

[incruzcontrol2]

Is there a weight limit to go on? Ie.. can a toddler go on? Can an adult go with the toddler?

I am sure going to get some shots on the way down, I think it will be a blast to try.

Just follow this young lady's example! :D

Do the slide once or twice to get used to it, before attempting any shots.

 

When you feel you're confident enough, then take the U/W camera with you

and try to click off maybe 3 or 4 on the way down.

 

It's a 200ft. long ride on Carnival Victory

so you have the time to "reload and shoot again" ! :)

No weight limit that I know of. One at a time and 42" or 48" minimum height requirement. So, unless your toddler is from that African tribe with freakishly tall people, no, it can not go.

[pe4all]

They are pretty strict with the ht. requirements on the slide, and will not allow you to ride "double" down with a toddler. There is an attendent at the top watching the hts and spacing going down the slide. Most people's feet "flip" up a bit as the hit the bottom trough, and I would think keeping a grip on a small child would be a bit dangerous to both of you. I find that if I lay on my back, and arch a bit (butt up a few inches) I go tearing down the slide. My kids crack up everytime they see their 50+ year old mom on the slide!

[Aplmac]

Right at the start where you wait your turn

there's a sign-post with a horizontal arrow saying..

 

You have to be this tall >> ---- << to use the waterslide.

Oh no, looks like Fantasy has a closed in slide so no pics. Darn

[SavannahMoon]

Is there a slide like this on Carnival Legend?

[Handsome58]

lol..lol and my poor wife screamed so loud..........lol lol lol ...we are middle aged...I am 51 she is 49......it was our first time doing it on a ship in 6 cruises.....she bet me a drink that I would not do it and vice-versa....whew........it was fun..........but never again........lol lol

[Gopher82]

I haven't been on a slide on a ship YET (Freedom in July) but at most water parks the best way to get some speed is lay on your back, cross your legs at the ankle, use your one heel, and shoulder blades to lift you bum off the slide... the less of you touching the slide the faster you go... ENJOY

[Aplmac]

..whew........it was fun..........but never again........lol lol

I had to do it, just once...but found it a bit too long for a 59-yr.old.

 

It was going OK until that very last bit --- a more-than-360degree turn

where the G-forces build up

and then dumped unceremoniously into what seemed like awfully salt water..ugh.

 

I told my wife not to go,that she wouldn't like it(she was glad)

but I must say I saw lotsa people my age going time and again!!

 

I'd like to do another, shorter, less twisty-turny slide.

I think Victory's slide was a bit much for this first-timer :o

[TxMaggie]

I have to admit I can't wait to try the slide out!!! HAHA

[sports-mom]

I have never been on one on a cruise ship before. Hoping to try out

the dreams slides in January :)
