sunset seekers Posted June 10, 2011 #4501 Share Posted June 10, 2011 We are walking over to check her out later today! See what she looks like from the dock!:D No sun yet but they said it was coming when the clouds burn off. So we are not raining on her parade We were thinking about going down to watch her sailaway but with the Stanley Cup games it will be way to busy downtown. I think we will wait a few weeks to see her. Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommabean Posted June 10, 2011 #4502 Share Posted June 10, 2011 How do you ask for a day pass? I didn't think you were able to go on the ships. I don't think you can. In order to get on while in port, you'd have to be part of a special pre-arranged group. I was just hoping someone would push their luck and beg! :p Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroozeAddict Posted June 10, 2011 #4503 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Of course the revitalization can not be considered complete until they revise the deck plans on their website. Checked it a few minutes ago and the Breakers Dinning Room was still in place along with the CL. Guess I need to make an inspection in person. Here's the revised deck plans ... http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ships/ship/decks/deck/home.do?deckCode=11&shipCode=RD&shipProfile=1468&sailDate=1120504&hasNavigation=false Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting to see where the Diamond Club is actually located. Not where we thought it was going to be.........but I think in a much better location now. Did they forget to include the Park Cafe? I'm not seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CroozeAddict Posted June 10, 2011 #4505 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Did they forget to include the Park Cafe? I'm not seeing it. I noticed that too ... but I think one of those Revitalization Videos showed it. I plan on putting the Park Cafe to good use too.:D When I get back from from our cruise, I'll post a link to all the pictures and videos I take. And it'll be alot.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan13 Posted June 10, 2011 #4506 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Here's the revised deck plans ... http://www.royalcaribbean.com/findacruise/ships/ship/decks/deck/home.do?deckCode=11&shipCode=RD&shipProfile=1468&sailDate=1120504&hasNavigation=false Thanks Gary for posting the new deck plan. It's great to see where all the new places are located. I like that RCI has put 2 new restaurants outside the Windjammer but there is still plenty of outside seating in the back. Those sofas outside the WJ doors were comfortable but not easy to eat from. Plus it was really breezy every time the doors opened. I also noticed they moved the Starquest dance floor over to the right hand side of the Viking Crown Lounge. And you can enter the Diamond Lounge as you leave the elevator and go to the left. I just called RCI and there are 3 singles cabins (4583,4585,4587) Deck 4, next to outside cabins where the private Breakers Dining Room used to be. The singles are not available for booking yet but should be in the next 10 days. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommabean Posted June 10, 2011 #4508 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I think the dance floor is in the same location in the VCL. The round area under the words "starquest" appear to me to be the same seating area they had over there with the revolving bar in the same location as always. The surprise is that the DL is on the opposite side of where we all seemed to think they had described it. I thought it would be to the right after walking up the stairs. Not to the left after getting out of the elevator. And good luck to them if they think they will be able to have the repeat cruiser's party in the smaller colony club. It was standing room only is it was. They sure squeezed a lot of rooms into Breakers. Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gina I have the 2011-2012 World Wide Cruise brochure here that has the old deck plans and the size of the Colony Club in my brochure is the same size as what is being shown on the new deck plans.

It appears to me that there is a long wall now in the Colony Club that blocks off what used to be seating behind the railing. There has to be an entrance to the Chef's Table that doesn't walk right through events in the Colony Club and I believe a wall has been put up where the rail was. Someone will show us soon.

Gina Everything from when you walk past the Bombay Billiard Club toward the aft is the same on the new deck plans when compared to the old ones that I have in front of me. All they did was rename some areas. I have a feeling that the entrance to the Chef's Table is going to be located right across from where the Jakarta Lounge begins because there was a door way there before for staff & crew. I have a friend boarding today...........and she promised to take pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do remember that door because that's the way the officers had been sneaking in and out for those repeat cruiser parties lately. Remember how they used to stand all lined up in the back? They switched to going in and out that door to line up in the front. Oh good! I was hoping someone on the first cruise would get us some really good finished pictures. Now is when an iphone cruise critic app with photo upload capabilities would come in handy. :p Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just not listed on the new deck plans released today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieVisi2r Posted June 11, 2011 #4520 Share Posted June 11, 2011 HU, It really is very exciting. Originally there was talk about something mid ship being turned into another family suite. I cannot open the deck plans, so can someone let me know if this happened. Thanks Raina:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommabean Posted June 11, 2011 #4523 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I like the App Shipmate It is cruiseline specific and ship specific and allows you many options. That's a good one Sheila. I really like it, too. It wasn't as good when it was first released but at least it was still free for iPhone. I wish I had gotten all of them when they were free but I only got 4 cruise lines. I understand it's still being offered for free to droid users. Anyone with a droid ought to grab them all while they can. I bet they start charging for them one day, too. Shipmate offers a lot more info now. And many of the features work off line. It's nice to be able to check all the ports and times whenever you want even if you are in airplane mode with no wifi access. Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot open the deck plans, so can someone let me know if this happened.Thanks Raina:D Yep, it's there. Cabin 1054, I believe. I understand Gina's earlier comment. My understanding is that Chef's Table has taken the space that was the Card Room. While it's not technically part of the Colony Club it often served as "overflow" space since there was no physical separation. From the deck plans and the videos it appears that there won't be access to the aft, outdoor seating area when Izumi and Rita's are open. Perhaps that will be true in the morning. I'm not clear about the Diamond Club, either. From the pictures (I'm sorry I don't have the link. Patti?) it looks fairly small. The Deck Plans appear to be a work in progress. They don't show the Park Cafe and the descriptive text still mentions Portofino. Frank in still overcast at 5:45PM SBA:cool::( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
