Fancy a dip in the pool or a thrilling water coaster ride?

You'll  find three sparkling pools: one for kids, one for families and one just for adults. You'll find both kids and adventurous adults taking a spin around the Lido deck, literally, on AquaDuck. During the water coaster ride, you're propelled at high speeds through an acrylic tube on a thrilling journey up, down, around and off the side of the ship, through the Forward Funnel-down a span of 4 decks-into a lazy river. Awesome.
