NCL's NEW Great Tides Waterpark Review - Is It Worth It?

We got an early look at Norwegian Cruise Line’s brand-new Great Tides Waterpark on Great Stirrup Cay before its official opening! And after riding the slides, doing the cliff jump, floating the lazy river, enjoying the swim-up bar, and eating lunch, we’re answering the big question: Is Great Tides Waterpark worth the money? We paid $59.99 per person during the soft opening, and in this video we show you exactly what you get for the price—including our favorite attractions, what we think could be better, and who we think should (and shouldn’t) buy a waterpark pass. From the crazy Breakwater Blaster and Cliffside Cove to the Wandering River, Splash Cay kids area, food, drinks, seating, lockers, showers, and more, this is an honest look at what you can expect from Great Tides Waterpark at Great Stirrup Cay. The waterpark officially opens September 4, 2026, so if you have an upcoming Norwegian Cruise Line cruise stopping at Great Stirrup Cay, watch this before spending your money! ⏱️ TIMELINE 00:00 Great Tides Waterpark First Look 01:26 What’s Inside the Waterpark 02:14 Tidal Tower & Our Favorite Slides 03:36 Cliffside Cove & Cliff Jump 04:36 Wandering River & Swim-Up Bar 06:11 Seating, Lunch & What You Need to Know 07:55 Splash Cay Kids Area 08:18 Is Great Tides Waterpark Worth It? 09:09 Who Should Buy a Waterpark Pass? 09:56 Would We Do It Again? 💦 Would YOU spend the money for Great Tides Waterpark, or stick with the beach at Great Stirrup Cay?
