Don't your arms get tired?
Well, I don't see anything in your post that says you have to be on a Carnival ship. So here are my recommendations ...
Cruise line: Norwegian Ship name: Norwegian Pearl
Ports of call: Miami, Florida; Samana, Dominican Republic; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; Tortola, British Virgin Islands; Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas; Miami, Florida 2009 departures: October 10,
The Pearl has pools and water slide just like the Pride, but also has a rock wall and a bowling alley.
Cruise line: Carnival Ship name: Carnival Liberty
Ports of call: Miami, Florida; Ocho Rios, Jamaica; Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands; Cozumel, Mexico; Miami, Florida 2009 departures: October 10, The Carnival Liberty has pools and a water slide just like the Pride, but is about 25% bigger and also has a really big TV screen over one of the pools.
Cruise line: Carnival Ship name: Carnival Freedom
Ports of call: Fort Lauderdale, Florida; San Juan, Puerto Rico; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda; Tortola, British Virgin Islands; Nassau, Bahamas; Fort Lauderdale, Florida 2009 departures: October 10
The Carnival Freedom is similar to the Carnival Liberty.
Cruise line: Carnival Ship name: Carnival Glory
Ports of call: Cape Canaveral, Florida; Nassau, Bahamas; St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands; St. Martin - Sint Maarten (island); Cape Canaveral, Florida 2009 departures: October 10,
The Carnival Glory is similar to the Carnival Liberty.
Cruise line: Royal Caribbean Ship name: Liberty of the Seas
Ports of call: Miami, Florida; Philipsburg, Netherlands Antilles; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Labadee, Haiti; Miami, Florida 2009 departures: October 10
The Liberty of the Seas is currently tied for the title of the biggest cruise ship. I has pools but no water slide. It has a rock wall, an ice skating rink and a Flowrider (a surfing simulator).
That pretty much covers the active ships going to the Caribbean on October 10, 2009.
