I'll probably be using the Ultimate Abyss quite often to go from the top deck to my deck 6 aft cabin. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseguy1016 Posted August 10, 2023 #27 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Go for it! No one will care. I'm in my low 60s and I still use them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed my next cruise will be on a ship that has waterslides. Is it faux pas for an old man like me to use the waterslide? I don't want to seem like some creeper. Thanks for your feedback. Nope. You're fine on the slides. I am,,, let just say old,,, and still slide. For some reason, I don't hold my arms right in the Abyss, and always end up with raspberries from rubs. Pro Tip: If a little kid pushes their way around you on the stairs, let them go. Don't pick a fight 🙂 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me (55, but I identify as 25!) and my wife (??) both used the water slides on Wonder this past February and had a blast! Here's to not growing old before our time!

Went on them numerous times with my 9 year old granddaughter. I just wish they had an elevator to get to the top. That is a lot of steps The stairs are the only thing holding me back from doing slides more than I do. I love them, and I'm used to the line being me and all the pre-teens. In fact, when picking our cruise, dates and itineraries were wide open, within the drive-able departing ports, it was amenities/price and I eliminated any ship that didn't have a water slide an adult could use, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in my late 50s and ride water slides on every cruise, usually on day one (along with family and friends who are in their 50s and 60s). I have also rode every water slide at Coco Cay multiple times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’re early boarders (11:30) so hoping to head straight for the slides before the masses arrive. will the slides be open immediately after embarkation? I am 40 too and am afraid I will be the only "old lady" This board is encouraging. Who cares!! 🙂 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpayroll Posted August 15, 2023 #36 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I'm 72 and still enjoy the slides. I use them as a stress test for my heart. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clackey Posted August 16, 2023 #38 Share Posted August 16, 2023 We're old, we are talking 70s, but have been known to stay onboard when in port just to hit the water slides. After doing 21 cruises we have a list of ports that we don't need to see again. That is when the SPLASH Party begins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
