If you could put a new attraction on a ship what would it be.

[DAVE(Darkcabbie)]

If I could put a new attraction on a ship my idea would be to have a glass bottom on an area of the ship so that you could see what's below you while you sail.

 

Imagine seeing the coral or fish and even a Turtle while you leave port and the ultimate could even be a Shark or Whale whilst out at sea. How cool would that be.

 

Anyone have their own idea for something fun on a ship ? .

[Matt]

The glass bottom idea is pretty cool.  Not sure how it works with a ship that size and being able to sustain it or if guests ever get a chance to go that low.  But if they could make it happen, it would be neat.  Heck, how about an underwater cam that anyone can watch in their stateroom?

How about a mini-water park?  Instead of a neighborhood like Central Park, a lot of slides to enjoy?

I like that idea!

[RoyalLaker]

A lazy river. 

[Bryce G.]

A freaggin' shoe shine, darnit! They have formal nights, and offer dry-cleaning and tuxedo rental services. OF COURSE there should be a shoe shine service available!

 

Okay, it's not an "attraction," but still...

 

I LOVE the actual Broadway shows on-board. More of those!

 

Flash mobs? Where random people in Central Park break out into song and dance?

 

Hey, Matt--Quantum sailing in March...wanna do a flash mob?! Haha

Flash mobs require choreography, which is definitely NOT my strong suit.  And along those lines, no one needs to see me (attempt to) dance.  :D

How about a revolving crows nest. Many tall buildings have revolving restaurants so why not on a ship. It would be pretty cool to sit and have a cold one and watch the scenery come full circle especially in somewhere like Alaska or the Fjords.

Perhaps NorthStar is an attempt to deliver something like that

Resurrecting a dead thread since it's a good question....

Indoor shooting range?

Bungee jumping to the board walk.

Parasailing off the back of the ship

[smokeybandit]

Monarch of the Seas was still in service when this thread was created.

Man you dug deep to resurrect this one lol.

I'd love to have a lazy river in adult only area.

[Southern Dan]

+1 on the lazy river, that would be so damn fun.  Imagine all the babies that could poop in it to enrage everyone further!!!

Yep, just bring a sandwich and a beer. Viola! 

[The Fox]

I would love to see a bowling alley.

[Zambia-Zaire]

I think many of us have offered the idea of a Lazy River…I even suggested a way to implement, structurally, the idea on Oasis Class ships.

 

However, I have mentioned several times before, of a venue on Oasis Class ships, very reminiscent of 270 on Quantum Class; but that wouldn’t be a new concept. Also have mentioned somewhat similar to the thread starter, on a much grander scale, a mini-Dining Room position below the water line, if one can engineer out or buffer, the vibration & noise, that inherently will befall that area of the ship.

[Jersey Judie]

What about tranforming a central park into a Tuscan winery. Or even a Bavarian beer garden!

I think many & I mean many years ago; some cruise line did have one.?

[Southern Dan]

Did Norwegian have one on the Jade?  I think I might remember seeing that when I was on her back in 2019 but it was Jam Cruise and I was pretty festive to put it mildly lol.

"Enjoy funky lighting that illuminates the neon-colored bowling balls and decor to create an atmosphere that is full of energy. Bowling available on Norwegian Epic and Pearl."

Okay, this sounds like a potential winner with a few tweaks. Because of the dining and retail in the area, doing a straight winery or beer garden theming wouldn't work. However, theming to something like a Tuscan or Bavarian village could be grand.

 

I'm hoping the cinema returns on Discovery class. It was nice to catch a film or two on Brilliance last summer in theirs. I enjoyed it much more that I was expecting since I normally skip the movies being played on the pool deck or main theater.

MSC Does have bowling alleys on a few ships. It's only a few lanes, but still a cool feature. 

I would love to see a VR driving range or batting cage

[SpeedNoodles]

Norwegian has bowling alleys on their Breakaway class ships.

I really disliked the Breakaway.  The bowling alley was ok.

Another idea!...Take that Beer garden and set it up on The Boardwalk where Johnny Rockets is! Sell oversized pretzels and steins!

I'm there.

[SPS]

Couldn't resist.

I don't know that it would be considered an attraction, but personally I would love it if they brought back the late night Ice Sculpture buffets.

[Va4fam]

............and the midnight buffet!  Maybe just once per cruise.

More ideas........

>No smoking in the casino.  That's a real attraction for us! 

>Game show night

>Amazing race type scavenger hunt

>Swim spa?

>Beach/dive bar with live music (still would like to see this at Coco Cay)

>One day each cruise convert pool/neighborhoods into a "WipeOut" course.....televise on the big screen and have goofy commentators

>Bring back Tribute Bands!! 

>And just for fun, how about a "retro cruise"......dress up for dining, traditional music and entertainment, slower pace and quiet.

How about a "Swim to Shore" shore excursion.  I thought about this at Cabo - instead of tendering, they let you swim to the shore.  Safety boat goes along side the swimmers for safety and to bring towels and other things to shore with you.

[BigKarl]

I am sure it is just me but in @Matt's new blog post today doesn't the new arcade game attraction look like it is flipping the bird ?

 

[WAAAYTOOO]

Yikes !  I tried to “laugh” at Karl’s post and accidentally initiated an “ignore” for future Karl posts !  How do I reverse that ?

[mikeMTL]

Beach Volleyball court

Better Mini putt course, more interactive

Bowling Alley

 

[CrimsonCruiser]

Pretty sure I mentioned this in a similar thread but I want Royal to steal the korean bbq idea from virgin,. I love Kbbq and I'm likely to splurge onboard even if it would be more pricey for me than getting it on land (which is already quite pricey)
