If you are a family and looking for a cruise filled with fun or you are the sort of cruiser who doesn’t enjoy lying around by the pool all day but enjoys a fun filled day with sheer adrenaline, well I have the answers for you.

How about trying some of the most craziest water-slides at sea to get the heart beat pumping, which by the way is not for the faint hearted. It is a brilliant way also to keep the kids entertained, complete with twists, turns, drops — even some surprises! — these slides can add some excitement to your sea day, and make you feel like a kid again:

 

I love things that get my adrenaline rushing, anything from the highest roller-coaster to the wildest water slide. Gosh I remember going to Palma a few years ago and myself and my sister went on the highest water-slide in the theme park, one was blue and the other red, and yes I didn’t realise at the time the red one we chose to go on was the most dangerous, my heart was in my mouth when I arrived at the bottom !

Anyway let’s get back to the facts !

The Free Fall :

NCL Breakaway and Getaway : If you are after heart stopping free fall rides well you will find them on these two ships. Two people step up to stand side by side slides and wait for the trap door to open from beneath their feet, then you fly through translucent tubes at such a fast pace to the finish line.

 

AquaDuck:

Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy: This water slide is also known as “aqua coaster” due to its roller coaster of twists and drops. As you fly  through the 765-foot course, you can enjoy the views high above the ocean until your raft drops into the lazy river at the end.

 

 

Plunge :

NCL Epic: This is 200 foot feet tall which is tall let me tell you. You sit in a raft and slide down enclosed tubes before being thrown out into a giant bowl, then you are sucked into a hole that will drop you into the water below, be prepared to be splashed.

 

Vertigo:

MSC Preziosa : The 390-foot-long Vertigo slide sits at the top of Deck 18. The slide literally carries you over the edge of the ship when you are traveling up to speeds of 13mph, there are even certain portions of the slide that changes colours when the sun shines through, creating a cool strobe effect as you fly to the finish.

Speedway Splash:

Carnival Sunshine : These two-lane racing slides, you hop into one of the side-by-side blue and green tubes at the same time as your competitor, and fly down to the flashing lights at the end of the course, where a screen announces the winner.

 

 

If I have missed any please let me know, I would love to hear your comments about the craziest ride you have ever experience on a cruise !
