On my last cruise, I conquered the fear of heights by plunging down a 10-storey slide. I challenged the fear of speed racing around a three-story go-kart track in the middle of the ocean and some of the things that I did were both very high and very fast. I’m not sure what fear I was conquering here but I’m glad I gave it a go.
As soon as I embarked Norwegian Prima I noticed these slides on the side, it’s hard to miss them as they twist around each other and go down 10 decks off the side of the ship. That's almost 95 ft or 29 metres on top of however high up deck 8 is against sea level, that is SERIOUSLY high up. Standing at the bottom made it feel even higher too but I knew I had to give it a go during this cruise.
If you'd like to find out what the rest of the ship is like, including the spa, adult-only area, and music venues, check out my full ship tour video on my YouTube channel. YouTube.com/EmmaCruises.

I waited until our ship reached Bermuda before I decided to brave the slides. I was relieved to see that this slide was the type where you slide down in a little bag, I don’t go on slides very often but I remember going on them as a kid and the ones in the bag were always more comfortable.
Pulling myself into the slide and into this wall of darkness was scary but the bit at the top was probably the fastest. It’s impossible to really work out where you are in the slide so I just laid back and watched the top of the slide go by, it was quite peaceful really and didn’t take too long. The idea is that you would race somebody else down the side but I went alone so I’m going to say that I won that race!
This slide had given me some confidence but I knew this was absolutely the easiest slide on the ship which was why I decided to start here. Also on my slide to-do list was the drop slide where the floor falls out below you and a huge waterslide called the wave where you slide up and around this part that's kind of like a halfpipe.
Right beside the entrance to the rush slide that I’d just completed was the entrance to the go-kart track. I honestly wasn’t too nervous about this at this point, I thought to myself, how scary can it be to go on go-karts on a cruise ship? They must be like bumper cars going round and round in circles. Spoiler alert. They were not.
This video is just one part of a 5 part series, so I look forward to seeing you in the next video!
