Ourusualbeach Posted July 15, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Royal just announced via twitter that The Liberty of the seas will get a waterslide after her revitalization next January. Looks like they will be adding slides to quite a few of their ships. @RoyalCaribPR posted the news. Edited July 15, 2015 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 15, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Interesting. Did they add a slide to Freedom in the recent dry dock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ladysilver Posted July 15, 2015 #3 Share Posted July 15, 2015 That is interesting. Now I have to decide if I will get on it or not. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

depplep Posted July 16, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Ugh. Moving more towards families. Might need to rethink future cruises. Not interested in a playground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 16, 2015 #9 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Is Flowrider staying on Liberty? I would bet that Flowrider is staying. They are putting Flowriders on all the Voyager class ships, can't see them removing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_G Posted July 16, 2015 #10 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Is Flowrider staying on Liberty? Given their popularity, I don't see any ship losing a flowrider. They just put one on Navigator during it's rehab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeditden Posted July 16, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Where do you think they'll put it? My thoughts could be: 1. Cut the full basketball court down to a half, and get some room there. 2. An entry on the deck twelve using the open space above the pools and coming in near the H20 zone. I'm going by the assumption that it will not have a pool at the end obviously.

I'm still anxiously waiting to see the renderings for Majesty. Liberty will be interesting too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ourusualbeach Posted July 16, 2015 Author #14 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I call dibs on it, if they are removing it. :D If you get it you will need to move south. Could be a little icy for a good part of the year.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuCruise Posted July 16, 2015 #15 Share Posted July 16, 2015 RCL is getting smart. It recognized the one thing that other lines has above it, and so it's starting to add waterslides to their fleet. PS - but that would be a not so smart move to remove the Flowrider....doubt they would do that as they are trying to gain cruisers, not lose them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbon2 Posted July 16, 2015 #16 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Interesting, we will be on the Liberty in August. My husband and I were talking the other night(even before the sliding board post ), that RCCL was getting too family oriented and we are going back to Celebrity after this. We have done numerous Celebrity and HAL cruises, even one each on Crystal and Silversea for special occasions and certain itineraries. When we decided to do the Caribbean again this past fall we did the Allure and loved it. It really was great for that itinerary. We wanted to do the New England/Canada and Royal had a nice 10 day. As some of the other posters have stated, we also don't want a playground atmosphere either and this will probably be our last RCCL cruise.

springaussie Posted July 16, 2015 #17 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I like the H2O zone idea. Will this block the great view from the Viking Lounge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistletoe76 Posted July 16, 2015 #18 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I can't wait to hear more about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted July 16, 2015 #19 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Will this block the great view from the Viking Lounge? In my option, the H2O zone already blocks the view from Viking Crown. I much prefer the view from the Voyager class Viking Crown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeditden Posted July 16, 2015 #20 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Will this block the great view from the Viking Lounge? No matter where they put it something is getting blocked. Disney has the right idea placing it around the edge of the ship. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molsonschooner Posted July 16, 2015 #21 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Interesting. Did they add a slide to Freedom in the recent dry dock? I don't think water slides were announced for any ship until well after Freedom was out of dry dock. The first I heard of slides was when Allure was in dry dock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted July 16, 2015 #22 Share Posted July 16, 2015 If you get it you will need to move south. Could be a little icy for a good part of the year.:D I've got enough space here. Forget the water park in Windosr, you could ride at my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coralc Posted July 16, 2015 #23 Share Posted July 16, 2015 That's nice. :rolleyes: We have no real interest in waterslides. I don't understand their sudden fascination with them.....other than the so-called family aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
