buckeye rob Posted October 8, 2014 #26 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Yes, more like a grand slam. See you're from Cincinnati. Just north of you around Oxford. Miami University. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted October 8, 2014 #27 Share Posted October 8, 2014 They have posted updated layouts for Deck 17 on Royals website It looks to me that all of Deck 17 will be suites only once the remodel is complete. The last set of deck plans shows the current VCL divided into a suite lounge and Coastal Kitchen, with the Concierge Lounge in the same space it is now, along with Wonderland. On another thread, someone thought they had heard something about a dedicated elevator for suites. That makes sense, given what's posted on the website.

Clarea Posted October 8, 2014 #28 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Are you kidding me? Why is the Viking Crown limited to top tiers?! That is crazy. I understand the CL or DL buy reserving RCI's signature lounge for top tiers is annoying. The signature lounge is no longer Royal's signature. Completely missing from Quantum class.

GTO-Girl Posted October 8, 2014 #29 Share Posted October 8, 2014 If Viking Crown is the CL, then it will be off limits to Diamond too. We are used to spending part of every evening there on every RCI cruise we have ever taken. You cannot get that view anywhere else!! Do you know if the Freedom will get this change during dry dock? Please say "no"........ :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dog Posted October 8, 2014 #30 Share Posted October 8, 2014 They have posted updated layouts for Deck 17 on Royals website Indeed! You have to click for the "plans" starting 6/6/2015, but it does show a new layout. Note that "Wonderland" and the "Concierge Lounge" share the same space (meaning that the CL didn't move to deck 17, but instead there is a "Suite Lounge" and "Coastal Kitchen" sharing the space - not sure if the Suite Lounge is for all suites, or just the Crown Loft suites - be interesting to see any "official" announcement, not something from a TA).

kwazi07 Posted October 8, 2014 #31 Share Posted October 8, 2014 The signature lounge is no longer Royal's signature. Completely missing from Quantum class. Yeah, that is dissapointing. However there is Two70. On Oasis, it seemed like the VCL was one of the only places to see the ocean indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dog Posted October 8, 2014 #32 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Oh, and it shows the DL moving to deck 4 (as does Izumi), and the space formerly occupied by the DL being made into staterooms.

beancounterbeth Posted October 8, 2014 #33 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I haven't studied Oasis enough to understand a lot of this and I don't have any "status" to get into these upper level lounges so I'm most upset about losing donuts to hot dogs. LOL :p These hot dogs better be good. I don't eat hot dogs usually because they are made of mystery meat and I usually don't eat donuts because they are a treat only for special occasionas like.....well....vacation. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They took 2/3 of Viking Crown away for pay restaurants on Legend. At least on Legend the other 1/3 is still open to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandmarnnurse Posted October 8, 2014 #38 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Deck 17 undergoes a complete metamorphosis Pinnacle chapel will make way for Loft Suites VCL will be an exclusive space for Suite customers, D+ & Pinnacle members, in addition to Coastal Kitchen and a Sun Deck Lounge Izumi will go to deck 4, close to Opus MDR Library will disappears. Concierge Lounge is replaced by Wonderland (Opens March 2015) Diamond Club moves to deck 4. In it's place will come additional cabins. Donut Shop replaced by Dog House Seafood Shack transforms into Sabor Taqueria Private dining is replaced by Diamond Club on one side, and Izumi on the other side. Do you happen to know when Dynamic Dining will begin on the Oasis? I know that it is being converted to this in dry dock, but not sure when it takes affect. I cruise the Oasis on Feb 14, 2015. Because we are cruising with 9 family members with varied tastes, it will be difficult to choose restaurants to satisfy everyone. I had already reserved a set seating in the main dining room, but with Dynamic Dining that will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted October 8, 2014 #39 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) Looking at the new GS's that were added to 11, 12 and 14 and I'm surprised that RCI classed as GS's and not Owners suites. I know that they are a bit oddly shaped but they certainly appear to be much larger than the regular GS's and have a much larger balcony. I think that they are a great deal for anyone looking at a suite. Much like many of the other well known and coveted aft cabins.

CRUISEBOY305 Posted October 8, 2014 #41 Share Posted October 8, 2014 If Viking Crown is the CL, then it will be off limits to Diamond too. Looks like it'll be off limits to Diamond PLus and Pinnacle too if they're calling it the Suite Lounge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3dog Posted October 8, 2014 #42 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Suite guests as well im sure. As I read it, the former VCL will now only be accessible by suite guests, and not C&A members (unless they booked a suite). On another thread, someone thought they had heard something about a dedicated elevator for suites. That makes sense, given what's posted on the website. There are elevators in the core for staff, so it is feasible to open one for that access. However, as these have access across all decks, it is more likely that they just keep the card access doors in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCWalton1 Posted October 8, 2014 #43 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Well looks like for my January cruise on Oasis I can stay in my lowly B1 11329 cabin that I paid $1819 for or I could move next door to GS 11330 for $4212. :eek: I think I will stay put. :p :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted October 8, 2014 #44 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I would like to see updated deck plans for November 1 until May 30. They currently show the Concierge Club and Wonderland sharing space, but Deck 17 is unchanged. Surely that space won't just be in limbo/under construction for 7 months, will it?
