Aqua Duck question

when is the least busiest time

On port days when everyone is on excursions, but depends on your itinerary, Nassau port days many people stay on the ship

Absolutely, port days are your best bet. Even of you just get back on the ship a little early, there won't be much of a line.

During early seating dinner. Best part of late seating. Kid did it 15 times in a row.

Castaway Cay days. We've done it up to 7 times in a row, with no one in front of us in the middle of the day.

We screwed up on pirate night and assumed they would open the pools after the party. They didn't, lifeguards had training. The Aqua Duck was EMPTY! Absolutely no one else trying to ride it. But my husband said the water was freezing and refused to ride it a second time.

We did it first thing in the morning on a sea day, rode it about 2x before the lines got really long.

Last night on a 7 day sail when people are packing. Around 8 PM there was no line. Kids did it non stop for an hour.

Thank goodness for Funnel Vision.

Agree that early dinner time is the lowest time overall. There are even days that are better but some of that depends on length of cruise. Trends are that early dinner on pirate night is lowest, but it does close at some point so chat with the lifeguards. The first and last night also around early dinner are usually good for short lines. Another good time is early day on castaway cay day.

I would think it could vary from cruise to cruise, but I found Castaway Cay day when it first opens was, totally, only MINE. I rode it like 3 times in a row. The biggest issue was climbing the stairs every time to get back to the top.

Yes, we did it 12 times... Kid did it 15, by the end I was flagging.

also embarkation day is not that busy. Just have to remember to pack your swim wear in your carry on.

Or wear it under your clothes.

We have always found it to be empty (like others have mentioned) during early dinner.

DD and I have had good luck on embarkation day (but we've been concierge so have gotten on earlier) AND FIRST thing in the morning. Like, we roll out of bed and stumble to the pool deck maybe 15 mins before its set to open. We usually can ride it 2-3 times before a line starts to form.
