Water slides onboard RC

[BOTL76]

We have started to look at planning our first cruise aboard RC (have previously done Disney cruise).

We are looking at a Caribbean cruise possibly April 2023/May 2023.

My daughters love waterslides on deck when we have done our Disney cruises, is there an easy way to tell which ships of RC do and don't have waterslides on board? There are so many ships and cruises to chose from!

Thank you!

https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-ships list of all their ships. This is what I have found. I believe more are scheduled to be "amped" which would probably add water slides. I think they all have rock walls, but not sure on that. Some also have skating rinks, zip lines, flowriders. I'd look at where you want to cruise from, or how long of a cruise you want to go on. My son loves waterslides and all the activities so I am always checking which ships have what my spreadsheet with the water slides for your pleasure lol.

The new water play area on the Wonder looks amazing if you have little kids!

Our kids had a great time in it. There were a few water features that were not operating with the biggest being the splash bucket so hopefully they get that fixed.

Thank you @Capt_BJ. I'm Diamond+ on RCL (and will be sailing again in a couple of weeks) but I never really knew what the different classes offered. I'm basically a fan of the Oasis Class ships but have sailed on some of the smaller ones as well.
