christhree Posted June 2, 2004 #2 Share Posted June 2, 2004 height was, I think 4foot...but ummm, it depends on the employee of the moment? LOL Can I say it more delicately? Just returned from Victory { have also sailed Triumph 2x}...I love both ships...we just alternate Eastern/Western....so whichever is going where we want, we sail... Victory has an AWESOME slide...for ONCE the lines short, and 12 ADULTS per 1 kid in line. Message me, and I will show you my recent pics. Have a BLAST !! I did, and am almost 50... READY for the next cruise !!!

aggieastrosfan Posted June 2, 2004 #3 Share Posted June 2, 2004 On the Elation it was 46" or 48", can't remember. There was a young girl in front of me that did get measured. It's not either of the ships you're looking at, but I have Elation slide pics at the link below. I believe it's even bigger on the Triumph/Victory.

BarbCon Posted June 2, 2004 #4 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Does anyone know of a weight restriction for the slide???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayrashke Posted June 2, 2004 #5 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Hi BarbCon, I think it would be more of a hipsize restriction. I plan on going down the slide. They do look quite wide though. Maybe someone else can help you with that as I have not been on a Carnival cruise yet. Valor Jan.23/05(W.Caribb.)-we are all going and are very excited!!!!!!!!!!!

mayrashke Posted June 2, 2004 #9 Share Posted June 2, 2004 aggieastrosfan, Thanks for the link to your photo of the slide.I will be sure to show it to my 2 daughters. Does it depend on the Category of your room and/or the room steward?-if you get towel animals.(It is obviously NoBiggie if we do not get them-just wondering.) I will not show them that photo just in case we do not get them(we are IS Guarantee quad cabin). Valor Jan.23/05(W.Caribb.)-we are all going and are very excited!!!!!!!!!!!

TomD Posted June 2, 2004 #10 Share Posted June 2, 2004 From what I've seen on their website, it's a 48" requirement, but the employee at the moment is probably closer to the truth. The big slide is only on some of the ships, (1 class?) Conquest, we will be with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruisinkat Posted June 2, 2004 #11 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Everyone gets towel animals. Maybe not every night..but at some point..you'll have one in the room waiting for you. 06/04 Holiday Cruise Nordic Empress 10/92 Ecstasy 10/98 Holiday 10/02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catrin Posted June 2, 2004 #14 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Amy.. the other slide is at Margaritaville in Ocho Rios. It is located at Island Village at the end of the pier (if you see the pics of the Pier in Jamaica, look for the colored umbrellas.. that is Margaritaville). This year.. we decided, one because the weather was iffy, to skip the falls and go right to Island Village... the boys literally spent 4 hours on that slide! They provided the life jackets for free. It really is a fun time there.. for adults and families. Cathy Ecstacy October 1992 Destiny October 1999 TRIUMPH May2003 Our TRIUMPHant Return!

Also, Tom - all Carnival ships have the slide, but the bigger the ship, the bigger the slide. Also, I think only the Holiday and Fantasy-class slides empty into the pool. The rest just sort of stop. Amy, I have tons of questions about the Grand, but my big concern is not getting thrown off for partying too much! There's 5 of us doing a girl's cruise, and we really don't care if we're the only crazy ones, just as long as everyone indulges us. We're just so excited to cruise a "big" ship from Galveston! I'm praying to the upgrade fairy, though - DH wouldn't let me book anything but an inside without him (since I'm paying for my mom, also), and I sure am going to miss sunlight.

Cruisin Amy Posted June 3, 2004 Author #16 Share Posted June 3, 2004 aggiestrofan We had an outside and actually the difference between the inside was we had a chair and a window..my sister had the inside... Great Drinks...I enjoyed the Lobby bar not as busy...great Blue Hawaiin....We didn't like our location in the dining room very far back...nice pool always open... Big Red Boat 93 Honeymoon!

loops Posted June 3, 2004 #17 Share Posted June 3, 2004 mayrashke: Regarding the towel animals. They usually start leaving them in your room on your second night. Don't hesitate to ask your room steward to leave them for your daughters, they will be more than happy to. When I was on the Miracle in April, my husband said the height for the slide was 48 inches. But I've seen many conflicting replies on this subject. Some say 46 inches and some say 48 inches. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene56 Posted June 5, 2004 #18 Share Posted June 5, 2004 another thing about those slides is they are finicky with opening them. They dont seem to be opened a lot.
