Cruise Ships Now Have Roller Coasters. Here's What Riders Say

Cruise ships used to compete over who had the biggest water slide. These days, the bar has gotten a lot higher, literally. The newest ships in the industry are now building actual roller coasters and go-kart tracks right into the ship's design, not just slides and pools. Passengers sailing these ships for the first time say nothing quite prepares you for looping past the smokestack at twenty miles an hour, more than a dozen decks above the open ocean. It's a pretty clear sign of where cruising is headed, with each new ship trying to out-do the last one's signature thrill. Some cruisers are thrilled by it, others just miss the days when the pool deck was the wildest thing onboard. If you were designing the next ship, what would you build to top a roller coaster at sea? #CruiseNews #CruiseShipLife #NewCruiseShip #CruiseTips #CruiseLife
