Not major focus, but singular focus on kids, if all the leaked plans are true. As much as I like Royal and especially Oasis class, this will have a lot of us seriously looking at more Celebrity Edge class cruises in the future. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about chill Island and the outdoor pool just for adults? Also they have put the kids pool far away in the boardwalk area Edited October 19, 2022 by Cruiscs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have seen it’s not that different from the Oasis class ( a lot of shifting things around) but at least they’re adding a dedicated suite space as there seems to be a lot of suites on this new ship. I wonder if they will make this space strictly for “suite guests” only as Celebrity has done due to space limitations in the Retreat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about what looks like a reduced size for the Solarium, one of the few adult only areas? Doesn't give me a lot of confidence in being able to find any peaceful areas to chill out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try a different cruise line or one of the older Royal ships if you're looking to have a more peaceful experience. The fact of the matter is Royal is trying to position themselves better as a family cruise line and they are definitely pushing hard on that with this new ship class it appears. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole redesigned pool/sports deck has a better connection to the sea, with outward facing pools and great aft views. Also, the Royal Promenade now looks to be over 2 levels, similar to Quantum class, while still incorporating some of the most loved venues amongst their fleet. Wonder was the first ship to incorporate a suite neighbourhood, similar to ‘The Retreat’ on Celebrity, while Icon is an evolution of this and now includes ‘The Grove’ sun deck, snack bar and private pool area.

jrapps Posted October 19, 2022 #1869 Share Posted October 19, 2022 My first reaction to seeing all the images and deck plans was "Wow, that is a lot going on". but the more I look at them the more it is growing on me. My random thoughts: I like how they moved Splashaway bay to the back of Deck 7. Deck 7 will be "Families with small kids", while pools on Deck 15 will be families with older children. Love the large circular elevator bank design Love the escalators Love the 360-degree Absolute Zero, finally time they changed things up from StudioB Interesting that the fitness center and Spa are no longer co-located Is this the first ship to move Sorrento's to the port side? Still cant wait to see what the Pearl is, but it takes up a considerable amount of space from decks 5-9. They moved a LOT of stuff to the 2nd floor of the Promenade, like Giovanni's. Deck 6 seems to the be the strangest one to me. Lots of narrow corridors, and Playmakers seems to be placed wherever they found room. UNLESS...right above it on Deck 7 is a yet un-named dining place, could this be a 2-story Playmakers??? That would be awesome! Central Park, only deck 14 appears to have balconies, I assume most of central park is now infinite verandas? The strange partial deck overlapping seems strange at first, but logically it could be genius! Seems like it creates a lot of shade while still being very open. All the loungers on Royal Bay pool are under Deck 17, but the pool is Deck 15. That is a 2-story ceiling. Cove pool also has all the seating surroundign the pool under an overhang. Lots of Shaded pool areas here. I sort of like what they did with Cloud17, an adult only pool deck, but only 1 hot tub and too close to the smoking area. Is Coastal kitchen now 2 decks? Its on Deck 17 but an un-named restaurant is above it on 18. Seems odd there would be 2 separate Concierge restaurants. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fine. We just see things differently. For me it’s not that different. It will definitely keep Royal as the leader of pushing the envelope with design versus their competitors. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
