We are really looking forward to our first cruise, and I have a million questions rolling around in my brain. I'll start here - what kind of waits have you experienced for the water coaster?

We were on the Dream. I waited up to 20 minutes.... But the wait time was MUCH shorter at night while everyone was dinner/shows (AND LIT UP) and shorter while people were on excursions.

We were on the Dream June 20-23 (our first cruise). We rode on the first day around 1-130 and the wait was about 10 minutes. We rode several times the second day (Nassau day) between 1 and 3 and the wait was around 30 minutes each time.

Hope you have a wonderful time, we cannot wait to go again!

We were on the Dream in March. Wait time was approx. 25 min. The water on the Aquaduck was so cold. I only rode in once. We are going to be on the Dream the first week of September and want to go again, just hoping for a little warmer water.

We were on the Fantasy June 8-15. I didn't even bother to ride the Aquaduck until the last day (our day at Castaway Cay). The line was always at least halfway down the stairs (which are *extremely* hot!) We skipped Castaway Cay (did it twice on our Dream cruise last year) and spent the day at the pool. The Aquaduck didn't even open until 1 pm, but after it did we rode it several times in a row with only a few minutes in between.

Definitely worth the wait though- I really enjoyed it! :number1:

Definitely worth the time spent in line. Lots of fun! But you will quickly learn the best "off times" to get in a quick ride or two once you are on the ship. :thumbsup:

Longest wait we had was about 20 minutes (this was last August, 5 night cruise).

Best time to ride is 9am, right when it opens. Everyone is having breakfast, so no one is on it for a good 30-60 minutes. Around 10am, the lines start to form.

Also, the water is ALWAYS cold. We were on an August cruise and it was HOT, but the Aquaduck water was quite a shock, it was freezing!

We took the Thanksgiving cruise on the Dream last year. I went on when we were docked in Nassau. I walked right on. It wasn't fantastic as if it is at all cool the water jets are cold. Neat experience though. I went by myself, I think if it is crowded you have to have someone with you?

it all depends on when you decide to ride it. when me and dw did the fantasy cruise in march we had 2 days at sea, and we never waited longer than 10 min at any point, then we did a dream cruise and same thing , we'll be doing another dream cruise in sept i'll try to remember and update this upon return

When I was on the Dream, I went during the day we were at Nassau. I rode 3-4 times in a row, in less then 45 minutes. It was awesome! I wasn't able to go on my Fantasy cruise unfortunately (I kept putting it off the first few days, and the last few it was closed due to the hurricane). I hope to go again in Sept
