serialcruiser48 Posted January 31, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Of the three ships the Diamond Club on the Harmony is my least favorite. On the Allure and Oasis the Diamond Club is on deck 11 in the back of the ship and you have a big window overlooking Central Park and out toward the back of the ship. On the Harmony the Diamond Club is on deck 4 next to Jazz and obviously there are no windows. Also, there is no bar and you have to wait for service after you find your seat (arrive early). I do like the fact they open Jazz for the Diamond event and that really helps with overcrowding. I prefer having windows to view out and the seating is more comfortable on both the Allure and Oasis. On the plus side, the wifi is great. As good or better than the other two ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

setsail Posted January 31, 2017 #3 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Loved the DC on harmony, we thought it was better than the SL. All the DC's offer the same thing on o class. Harmony has a great overflow but never had to use it. Don't need a window when it's dark outside. It's all about the people. The seating is all about the same on O class for the dc's Edited January 31, 2017 by setsail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFIGuy Posted January 31, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Maybe it was just the Harmony cruise that we were on, but the lounge on Harmony seemed to be overly crowded the entire cruise during any of the "happy" hour. On Oasis on our Summer cruise, the downstairs would get marginally crowded, but there were typically seats, and there were always seats upstairs.

If you arrive 15 minutes early, you will find seating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nacdcruiser Posted February 1, 2017 #10 Share Posted February 1, 2017 +1 to the OP from my wife and I (just our opinions). Been on all three Oasis class ships and in full suites on Oasis & Harmony. To us, Harmony DL was the least comfortable for us. No judgment to others, YMMV. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulette3028 Posted February 1, 2017 #12 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I liked the old DL on Oasis and Allure. Loved the balcony overlooking promenade Yes, when we were on Allure, I thought the balcony of the DL overlooking the Royal Promenade was wonderful. I thought I read that they relocated the DL even on Allure -- Is that correct? I will experience the DL on Harmony in a few weeks. Wherever it is, I will enjoy the comraderie with the other cruisers for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Oasis it is still there but off limits. Some have seen staff up there taking a break or holding mini meetings. They should have created interior balconies for the cabins that replace the DL or made it accessible for passengers to watch the parades, etc.. Or maybe a smoking place. :o ;) :eek: Edited February 1, 2017 by John&LaLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruising twosome Posted February 2, 2017 #20 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Hope this is OK to ask here.....Oasis shows the DL on both 11&12, can you enter on 12? Our cabin is on deck 12 and just wondering if we can get service up there. (Husband uses medical scooter) Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could consider moving to Deck 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruising twosome Posted February 2, 2017 #22 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Thank for the response......have an accessible cabin on 12 and not too much time let. It will be OK to go to 11, was just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
