Newer ships are also introducing fantastic new water
features, such as the one-of-a-kind AquaDuck Water Coaster on Disney Cruise
Line’s Disney Dream. The ride starts
on Deck 16 with a thrilling drop and a loop that extends 13 feet over the side
of the ship. The thrills continue through more turns, drops and rapids before the
riders splash down on deck 12. This ship also features Donald’s Pool for family
fun, Mickey’s Pool for young children and Nemo’s Reef for toddlers. There’s
also a Quiet Cove area just for adults, with a pool and a swim-up bar.
The Aqua Park water park on Norwegian Cruise Lines’ Epic features three multi-level slides
that range in excitement level from mild to wild. One is a smooth ride, though
it does zip right through the ship’s rock climbing wall. For the more
adventurous, another slide twists and turns its way down three decks. For true
thrill seekers, the Epic Plunge uses centrifugal force to spin riders around
before they splash down. The Aqua Park also includes two main pools, five
whirlpools, a wading pool and a Splash and Play Zone for the little ones. NCL’s
Breakaway, now under construction,
promises an even larger water park.
Several Princess ships also have pool areas with sliding
glass roofs, a terrific feature in inclement weather. In June 2013, Princess
will introduce its largest top deck pool ever on the new Royal Princess. Each evening, the pool will become the setting for
a water and light show, followed by the line’s signature “Movies Under the
Stars” on a large, high-definition screen.

off your cannonball dive or a soothing retreat, talk with Anita, your Cruise Holidays
personal cruise expert. She can help you find a ship with the perfect
