Winner of a Carnival Splendor cruise

The lucky reader who submits the winning name of the Carnival Splendor’s new green waterslide will win a 10-day New Caledonia and Vanuatu cruise departing Monday, January 6, 2020. This competition is now closed

The Carnival Splendor will feature a green and gold WaterWorks.

Carnival Cruise Line has just revealed the much-anticipated design of Carnival Splendor’s new waterpark and is giving readers the chance to name the new green waterslide.

Building on the cruise line’s reputation for jaw-dropping waterslides, Carnival Splendor, set to become the newest and largest ship home ported in Australia, will feature an adrenaline-packed green and gold WaterWorks with two slides that tower 50m above the waterline.

The green thrill-slide is an evolution of the famous Green Thunder so to have your choice of name selected, entries need to be creative and use either ‘green’ or ‘thunder’ as part of your waterslide name.

The slide measures almost 40m long and will begin with an impressive 11.3m free-fall drop as the capsule floor opens, followed by a slingshot curve, twisting and sliding guests into a giant swirling bowl.

The lucky reader who submits the winning name will win a 10-day New Caledonia and Vanuatu cruise on-board Carnival Splendor departing Monday, January 6, 2020 for four people in a quad balcony cabin.

The prize also includes a premium Wi-Fi package, dinner and sparkling wine at the ship’s fine dining steakhouse and an invitation to be part of the waterslide’s naming ceremony where you’ll meet and be photographed with the Captain in front of its signage.

Test your creative skills and submit your entry below for the chance to name Carnival Splendor’s new green waterslide.
