Teends Posted May 19, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I personally don't feel like this drydock was going to be the one when Allure got the slides installed that RCCL spoke about a few weeks ago, but does anyone know for sure yet if that was going to happen on this drydock? Sailing her next March with the kiddos who consider slides a must have on any cruise ship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teends Posted May 19, 2015 Author #6 Share Posted May 19, 2015 There are no slides on Allure today Are you basing that on the webcam or something? We might switch to the Breeze for the same week. Much cheaper too, but only 6 days :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted May 19, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 19, 2015 She came out of the dry dock with no slides and I doubt they have added some during the last two days. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted May 19, 2015 #8 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Slides on RCI are NOT like on Carnival....they are simply "kiddie slides"...short and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teends Posted May 19, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Slides on RCI are NOT like on Carnival....they are simply "kiddie slides"...short and slow. I am referring to the slides planned for Harmony and the next Oasis class ships that are legitimate slides and were mentioned by the CEO (I think it was him) as being planned for a retrofit on Oasis and Allure. This announcement was made late April sometime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new slide design won't be proven out on Harmony for quite a while. The slides were designed in Orlando - according to the article above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted May 19, 2015 #11 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Slides on RCI are NOT like on Carnival....they are simply "kiddie slides"...short and slow.

ryano Posted May 19, 2015 #12 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Slides on RCI are NOT like on Carnival....they are simply "kiddie slides"...short and slow. Totally out to lunch again on this one. I could be wrong but they look better than Carnivals slides to me. Certainly not of the kiddy "short and slow" kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new slide design won't be proven out on Harmony for quite a while. The slides were designed in Orlando - according to the article above I'm with you Racer, it seemed too quick but some of the posters here said that perhaps the engineering and all of that could have been done awhile ago once they designed it for Harmony so perhaps it could have been done (theoretically) during this drydock.

WEGL81 Posted May 19, 2015 #18 Share Posted May 19, 2015 How awesome would it be if those slides curled down into Central Park? And were made of clear acrylic? There's room in the middle for a "Der Stuka" type slide (or maybe they're saving that space for the roller coaster in 2020? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuCruise Posted May 19, 2015 #19 Share Posted May 19, 2015 http://www.adedesign.com/home This site indicates that Harmony will be the first RC ship with these slides Since they didn't add them to Allure during dry dock, you would think that Oasis would be after Harmony.

Teends Posted May 19, 2015 Author #20 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) Since they didn't add them to Allure during dry dock, you would think that Oasis would be after Harmony. Makes sense to me. I would assume Oasis is going into drydock again before Allure would at this point. Edited May 19, 2015 by Teends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
