Sccrkeepr Posted March 24, 2016 #251 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) North star limited to one per cruise? Flowrider you have to pay for! Surely this isn't right? I thought the same thing - so for the 3rd day in a row i called RCI. they are saying we can only pre book northstar one time, however there will be a standby line you are free to stand in as many times as you want FLowrider for 69$ is the private lesson for 1 hour - Again grain of salt, because I just dont think RCI has given enough info to their vacation planners, yet.

The_Big_M Posted March 25, 2016 #253 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Flowrider is free to access with regular lines. Just if you want a private lesson they charge for it (understandably). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpyguy1 Posted March 27, 2016 #254 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Is there an "olive or twist" bar onboard ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted March 27, 2016 #255 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Is there an "olive or twist" bar onboard ? If you mean a bar in Viking Crown, there is no Viking Crown on Quantum class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalon007 Posted March 27, 2016 #256 Share Posted March 27, 2016 We did this same cruise on Quantum last year. When we left the US there was a Broadway show (Mama Mia) on board. Prior to entering service in the Asian market Mama Mia was replaced with a Las Vegas type review show. RCI has found their Broadway shows do not play well in the Asian markets. You will love Ovation!!! Quantum was just spectacular and we can't wait to get on another Quantum class ship. I think it's disappointing no Broadway show as it's one of the things I was looking forward to, especially since Ovation is the only ship in Australian waters that could offer one - seems Royal is catering to the Asian market at the expense of the rest of us. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avalon007 Posted March 28, 2016 #258 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Ovation of the Seas Fact SheetStatistics Occupancy Dining and entertainment venues Retail shops Other amenities Thanks for the link. Under 'Other Amenities' I noticed they list the Concierge Club but NOT the Diamond Lounge - is it possible the DL has been done away with or they just don't list all amenities??? It is already relegated to deck 4 - hope they haven't decided not enough Asians are Diamond so added in some more gambling or shops instead?:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avalon007 Posted March 28, 2016 #259 Share Posted March 28, 2016 In addition, I can still see the DL on the deck plans for Ovation currently on Royals website & I can see the Panda Noodle House, but couldn't find the Music Hall? Maybe the fact sheet is not accurate or the deck plans have not been updated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the US website has the normal graphical display and then there is a link for the printable version, which is the PDF file I linked above.

avalon007 Posted March 28, 2016 #268 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Thanks, I did eventually read that re the golden room on the PDF for deck 4 - I wonder though what any Diamond members who happen to go on an Asian cruise get to use if the DL is converted to a big gamblers get together space?

avalon007 Posted March 28, 2016 #270 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I think it's just the DL without gambling - if they need gambling in there as well they should also seriously also install a gamblers anonymous booth! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icsys Posted March 28, 2016 #271 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) I'm guessing it is just an invitation only VIP lounge for the high rollers. Ovation was 'built for the Asian market'. According to deck plans, Quantum's 'golden room'/casino VIP is the upstairs area of what would have been the Music Hall. Diamond, D+ and Pinnacle still had their lounge. Quantum deck 4 On Ovation Asia sailings, D+ and Pinnacle can use the Concierge Club, Diamonds most probably will have to make do with the three vouchers per evening.

WaveSplasher Posted March 28, 2016 #275 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Trying to understand "upstairs". Is the Music Hall two decks high? Yup, on the Anthem, the music hall is 2 decks high. Check the video out below. I read through the deck plan on RCL webisite from 15-Dec-2016 to 23-Jan-2017 and noticed the music hall is on deck 3 and 4. Deck 4 is beside the golden Room/ Diamond lounge. So there is a chance there is still there until 2017, but i really hope it stays permanently. But they may use the 2nd floor as the added casino and leave the music hall only on deck 3. However, this present a problem for those who want to listen to music and right above their heads, there is a casino going on.
