cello56 Posted October 15, 2014 #202 Share Posted October 15, 2014 The Diamond Club looks like a HUGE improvement from the old lounge overlooking the Promenade! This looks like a place that we will actually want to sit in during the day and read! Did they hold the evening cocktail hour in the new club? Or was it delegated to the alternate venue again?

ladyariadne Posted October 15, 2014 #207 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Anne the aft grand? I have also booked it for Sept. b2b, will look for your pics, Yes the aft grand-12330. I wanted the one on 11, but there was no stateroom close for my son and family. They won't be ready though until November. I found this on another forum. Looks like the few weeks in drydock were not enough to get everything done. oasis changes.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shevais Posted October 15, 2014 #208 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Outstanding pictures! I cannot wait to see some of the aft GS as we have booked 11730 for next year. I love the improvement of the Diamond Lounge and cannot wait to eat at the Coastal Kitchen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Queen Posted October 15, 2014 #210 Share Posted October 15, 2014 After following your review and all the pictures we decided to upgrade our May 9 & 16 cabin. We were on deck 11 near the secret balcony but that went away. We booked GS 11330 so we still have the secret balcony for us and our friends that are in adjoining cabins.

ExilePA Posted October 16, 2014 #213 Share Posted October 16, 2014 So no more cupcakes? I really enjoyed those on Allure! Maybe too much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantumleap Posted October 16, 2014 #214 Share Posted October 16, 2014 So no more cupcakes? I really enjoyed those on Allure! Maybe too much... The cupcakes are still there, they were just combined with the ice cream shop on the Boardwalk, to make Cups & Scoops (as it appears on the deck plans). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandma Petania Posted October 16, 2014 #218 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) does anyone know if all of these new restaurants will be 100 % up and running for our cruise on the 29th ?? Is the American Icon grill an upcharge restaurant ?? or an extension of the main dining room ??? I tried making a reservation, but the folks i spoke with at RCCL didnt seem to have a clue ....At this point, it seems that the only thing that has changed in all three levels of the main dining room is the signage and some decorations. They will be called American Icon Grill, The Grande, and Silk, but will be serving a standard MDR menu until DD begins. All three will remain complimentary, even after DD is instituted. Evidently, some people were able to book MDR early or late seating, while the rest of us have been assigned My Time Dining. I sailed on the Oasis in November 2013 with MTD, and it worked out fine. Although I've been able to book entertainment for our Feb. 21, 2015 cruise, I haven't yet been able to reserve any dining. We won't be eating in any of the up-charge restaurants, so we may just wind up going at whatever time we choose to eat, and see what happens.

Rare steamboats Posted October 16, 2014 #220 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) So no more cupcakes? I really enjoyed those on Allure! Maybe too much... Cupcakes are sold in the Ice Cream Parlor (which hasn´t been renamed to Cups & Scoops - signage is still the old old). They are also selling cupcake cook books and do the cupcake decoration classes. steamboats Edited October 16, 2014 by steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterMom Posted October 16, 2014 Author #223 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hello again from the Lady O! (I'm going to run out of nicknames for her pretty soon...) We have some sunshine this morning and it's closer to 60° out there - almost balmy in comparison to where we've come from. We definitely have more motion this morning but nothing terrible. THIS is my current view from an elliptical so I don't turn into the size of a house on this journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
