Trying NCL's Viral Aqua Slidecoaster & The Drop Slide!
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document a day spent on board the Norwegian Aqua while docked in Puerto Plata. They begin by exploring breakfast options, opting for a sit-down meal at Hudson's main dining room after finding the food hall setup to be a maze. The day continues with various onboard activities, including playing Starbucks pong and participating in a high-tech mini golf course that features interactive screens and trivia. After a lunch of room service sandwiches and desserts, the pair heads to the Aqua Slidecoaster. They describe the experience as a mix of an intense initial launch followed by a relaxing, slow-moving section through the tubes. Following the water slide, the creator tries the Drop Slide, a dry slide that they describe as terrifying and bumpy. The day concludes with an Italian dinner at Honda, where they discuss their personal methods for compromising on cruise activities, such as excursions and dining preferences. They end the evening watching a movie in their cabin while preparing for an upcoming snorkeling excursion in St. Thomas.
