We are really looking forward to our first cruise, and I have a million questions rolling around in my brain. I'll start here - what kind of waits have you experienced for the water coaster?

We were on the Dream. I waited up to 20 minutes.... But the wait time was MUCH shorter at night while everyone was dinner/shows (AND LIT UP) and shorter while people were on excursions.

We were on the Dream June 20-23 (our first cruise). We rode on the first day around 1-130 and the wait was about 10 minutes. We rode several times the second day (Nassau day) between 1 and 3 and the wait was around 30 minutes each time.
Hope you have a wonderful time, we cannot wait to go again!

We were on the Dream in March. Wait time was approx. 25 min. The water on the Aquaduck was so cold. I only rode in once. We are going to be on the Dream the first week of September and want to go again, just hoping for a little warmer water.

We were on the Fantasy June 8-15. I didn't even bother to ride the Aquaduck until the last day (our day at Castaway Cay). The line was always at least halfway down the stairs (which are *extremely* hot!) We skipped Castaway Cay (did it twice on our Dream cruise last year) and spent the day at the pool. The Aquaduck didn't even open until 1 pm, but after it did we rode it several times in a row with only a few minutes in between.

Definitely worth the time spent in line. Lots of fun! But you will quickly learn the best "off times" to get in a quick ride or two once you are on the ship.

Longest wait we had was about 20 minutes (this was last August, 5 night cruise).
Best time to ride is 9am, right when it opens. Everyone is having breakfast, so no one is on it for a good 30-60 minutes. Around 10am, the lines start to form.
Also, the water is ALWAYS cold. We were on an August cruise and it was HOT, but the Aquaduck water was quite a shock, it was freezing!

We took the Thanksgiving cruise on the Dream last year. I went on when we were docked in Nassau. I walked right on. It wasn't fantastic as if it is at all cool the water jets are cold. Neat experience though. I went by myself, I think if it is crowded you have to have someone with you?

When I was on the Dream, I went during the day we were at Nassau. I rode 3-4 times in a row, in less then 45 minutes. It was awesome! I wasn't able to go on my Fantasy cruise unfortunately (I kept putting it off the first few days, and the last few it was closed due to the hurricane). I hope to go again in Sept
