CroNich Posted May 8, 2016 #2326 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I am all for slides and more fun and stuff on ships but they have completely gone over the top with the Abyss. The should of tried to move the slide so it stayed behind the Aquatheatre and had supports running from the very back of the ship up to the sports deck.

StlGal Posted May 8, 2016 #2330 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I think they will be a great addition. For those that do not care for them there is always the Oasis or Allure that they can choose instead. Fir those that want the slides there is the Harmony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Alan Posted May 8, 2016 #2337 Share Posted May 8, 2016 If any of those who regret booking a Boardwalk balcony would like to exchange with me (inside cabin) then I'd be happy to have the view of the Abyss. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted May 8, 2016 #2338 Share Posted May 8, 2016 For those that do not care for them there is always the Oasis or Allure that they can choose instead. Tho, eventually, the Abyss may be retrofitted to those ships as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papcx Posted May 8, 2016 #2339 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Respectfully disagree. This view will be sorely missed...it is (or will be) a big deal to plenty of folks. The gimmicky slides block the entire ocean and AquaTheater view. I admit the angles are different But the only real difference is the narrow view above the crown and anchor. It does block the view of the Aquatheatre, but again from some angles the Sabor bar does on the other Oasis class ships. I think, for me, the issue is the view from my Boardwalk balcony isn't that important. There's so much more to do and think about on the Oasis class. If the ocean view is so important get an ocean view balcony. Different strike for different folks. No ones wrong. I'm sure we'll both enjoy our cruises.

Sergio11 Posted May 8, 2016 #2342 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Just wondering, if you go down the waterslide what will be the easiest way to go back up there again and slide down again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted May 8, 2016 #2343 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Just wondering, if you go down the waterslide what will be the easiest way to go back up there again and slide down again? The Abyss is not a waterslide but a dry slide. Easiest way back up would be the aft elevator bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adjjb12 Posted May 8, 2016 #2344 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I'm thinking I'll be taking that slide down if the elevator is busy. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny AZ Girl Posted May 8, 2016 #2345 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I'm thinking I'll be taking that slide down if the elevator is busy. lol This post made me smile. I just had visions of the pre-dinner rush on formal night with a black evening gown, pearls and high heels!:D Oh, and a glass of champagne in one hand, LOL!

campingsk8er Posted May 9, 2016 #2350 Share Posted May 9, 2016 My question is how is this going to be staffed? Do you think this counts as an activity and you have to sign a waiver (also do you have to for the water slides)? Are there going to be certain hours that its going to be open or will it be open 24/7. Just some thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
