Perfect Storm Review: Solid Waterslide Fun

Perfect Storm delivered good waterslide entertainment for our cruise. Typhoon was the highlight—the champagne bowl effect is genuinely thrilling as you swirl around before dropping through. Cyclone offered a fun enclosed experience with some lighting effects. Supercell was great for racing my kids.

Wait times were reasonable—about 10-15 minutes on sea days. We went early morning and had practically no wait. The slides aren't as extreme as land-based water parks, but they're impressive for a cruise ship and completely free.

Rating: 4.0/5. Recommended for families with kids who meet height requirements. Don't expect world-class water park thrills, but do expect solid fun.
