Just off the Spectrum - Any questions?

[compman9]

I explored everywhere, including the Golden areas, so if there is anything future cruisers want to know, I am happy to answer questions

In what ways is it different from other Quantum class ships such as Quantum and Anthem?

Does Spectrum still have four separate dining rooms?

1. No pub - it is now a tea shop

2. There is only one dining room and you can see it from outside Jamie's

3. The Diamond Lounge is now a high rollers casino area

 

They are the main ones

No, just one, but on three levels

Open in the center like Oasis class?

Bob, I found this picture.

Lots of questions if you don't mind 🙂

 

With part of the Music Hall turned into the VIP Casino, are there no more pool tables onboard? Is the sundeck above the SeaPlex open to all or is it still a Suite Deck? For the Gold and Silver Lounges, do they only have happy hour from 5:30 to 8:30 or is it like the SLs on the Oasis class where they have the free beers, wines, and sodas all day? Is the gym really as bad as people are saying? Is there a lot of 'Inaugural Season' merch available? Did you stay in one of the Silver or Gold Suites?

No pool tables - The top floor of the Music Hall is now for Diamond guests in the evening

 

The sun deck is still just for suite guests, silver and above

 

Dunno about the Gold Lounge, but the Silver Lounge will not have free drinks. Instead they have buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner (the dinner buffet is starters and desserts, the main is off a menu). Behind the Silver Lounge and dining area (which is recognisable a the solarium bistro on Oasis class), is the larger solarium, which will be exclusively for Diamond and above plus suite guests

 

Yes, the gym is tiny - barely room to swing a cat and no bikes at all except one spin bike!

 

Yes, the usual tat is available. We were left with two of those plastic flask things which we left unused for the next guests

 

We had a Silver Suite (Junior Suite), which was really nice

That sculpture in the centre rotates and is half on the fifth deck which is where the viewing balcony is outside Jamie's and Tiffany's

Hello,

Are the vouchers still usable on Asian cruises? I would think RCCL wouldn't take this away from a Diamond and above, however I thought I should ask. Thanks :-)

Apologies, no clue about this one - your TA should know

How different are Asian cruises than your average Caribbean or European cruises as far as food, entertainment and overalls experience?

 Daily happy hour and the 3 free drinks loaded on the card is still there.

Did you use VOOM and if so, do a speed test?

It has not reached its destination yet, but from my experience, the food in the Windjammer had far more variety, with lots of Asian items as well as those North Americans and Europeans are used to

 

Entertainment included British and American entertainers, including an America's Got Talent winner

I didn;t do a speed test, but it seemed just as average on every other cruise 🤨

Hi

 

Did they offer any speciality dining packages on board as none available on the cruise planner

 

The speciality restaurants are offered on cruise planner are each one separately and really expensive
