In Transit Blog: Not Letting Anything Slide

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 06 Februari 2013 | 17.35

Anything you can do I can do better. The Irving Berlin line pretty much sums up the mind-set of global cruise lines, which are offering such a staggering number of itineraries that they are forced to stand out by trumping one another.

Nowhere is the battle more evident than on deck, where water features reign. This year, according to the Cruise Lines International Association, a new champion has emerged in the longest single-rider waterslide category: MSC Preziosa. When the ship debuts in March, it will set sail with a 394-foot-long, 42-foot-high water slide called Vertigo. If the four-story height isn't enough to impress you, some sections of the slide will be illuminated with translucent bands of color to catch light, creating a strobe-like effect. And there's another transparent section extending over the edge of the ship, offering an unobstructed views of the ocean below.

As thrilling as a water slide is, some passengers want nothing less than an aqua park. The largest one at sea will be on the Norwegian Breakaway (rendering above), according to the trade group. It will be essentially two "free-fall" side-by-side water slides, which means that guests stand up and have the floor drop from underneath them. And one ship will have a new thrill that's not exactly a water feature. The Royal Princess's glass-bottomed walkway will extend 28 feet beyond the starboard side of the ship. Don't worry — on that one, the ground will not drop from beneath you.
