Water activities are usually top on the mind for cruise lovers and this one reportedly has the tallest onboard waterslide, a free-fall and raft slide, whirlpools and several others. Three theaters will present entertainment, while there is also an Absolute Zero ice arena, AquaTheater and a 1,772-square-foot Ultimate Family Townhouse, that has its own movie theater, karaoke and more. It sure seems like this will (re)define holiday cruising on the seas; is it whipping up your summer travel wanderlust already?
