CCL - Waterslides

[jkeitch]

Can anybody tell me what the rules surrounding the waterslides on the Carnival ships are? We are sailing on the Splendour on April 8th.

 

This year in BC, they passed a law that a child has to ride a waterslide by themselves. Bureaucracy at it's finest. I'm hoping that is not the case on the cruise.

 

Thanks,

Justin

How old is your child/children? I can only guess that one reason for the new law in BC is that very young children had been injured while riding with an adult or older child. You'll want to check on the Carnival forum and perhaps on the Carnival website.

Children have to be 42" tall to ride the slide on Splendor, and have to ride it alone.

 

If your child is too young to ride the slide, there is another kiddie play area that features water:

Carnival Twister waterslides that run into a pool have a height requirement of 48” or 4 feet. This height is determined by the manufacturer for the safety of the guest using the equipment. (Elation; Paradise)

Carnival's Twister waterslides that run off into itself (Carnival Destiny; Triumph; Victory; Spirit; Pride; Conquest; Legend; Glory; Miracle; Valor; Liberty; Splendor; Dream) have a height requirement of 42’ as they do not have a pool at the bottom to worry about. This will now include the Imagination, Inspiration, Fascination, Sensation, Ecstasy and Fantasy due to Carnival Waterworks.

Use of the waterslide:

 

 

Guests under 13 must have their parents' permission.

Multiple riders are not permitted.

No floatation devices may be worn or carried on the slide.

The slide is not recommended if there is any physical limitations, impairments, under the influence of alcohol or under a doctor’s care.

Guest must use the slide on his/her back, feet first.

 

 

And remember, your child must be fully potty trained to use the pools, waterparks, etc. No swimmie diapers.EM

We were on the Splendour in January. Riders must go alone and there is a worker at the top monitoring for safety and the height requirement. The slide is fast and curvy I can see someone easily getting hurt if going with another person. That said, there is plenty for potty-trained young kids to do if they can't/won't do the water slide.

 

Best,

I don't know of any waterpark with big slides that allows 2 people to go at the same time. Generally, if you can't go alone, you shouldn't go at all....it's a safety issue!

Does the Dream have this mini waterpark too? My five year old would love that!

We were told that our not-potty trained toddler (swim diapers needed) could use the water park.

 

Can anyone confirm?

I can confirm that this is not true. Must be fully potty trained, no swim diapers or diapers allowed.
