Cruise Ship Slides Closed: Passengers Furious
23 Apr
Summary
- Several water slides on popular cruise ships were unexpectedly closed.
- Passengers were not informed about the attraction closures before sailing.
- Guests expressed frustration over limited access to advertised water parks.
Royal Caribbean is facing backlash from cruise passengers due to the unexpected closure of multiple water slides on its newer ships, Star of the Seas and Icon of the Seas. Guests have voiced their disappointment on social media, reporting that up to four slides have been inaccessible for extended periods.
These water parks, a significant draw for the ships which debuted in the last two years, are each 17,010 square feet and feature six slides. Passengers are frustrated that these advertised attractions were unavailable, with some sailings experiencing multiple closures simultaneously.
Royal Caribbean confirmed that some slides are indeed closed for maintenance. However, the lack of prior notification has been a major point of contention among travelers. This situation has led to discussions among cruise enthusiasts, with some emphasizing the importance of safety over immediate access to attractions.
