Behind the Circuit nightclub. You go all the way through until you see the two doors flanking the main part of the club. It is very nice and quiet back there.

Easiest way is walk to deck 7 aft (on either side), and there is small stairway going up to it.

There is a "secret" aft balcony with about 8-9 lounges

Since this thread is 67 pages long I am going to write down what I can remember I have read. Please lets copy and paste and add as we go. I know I will forget a lot and forget to include that. Please just copy and paste and then add what is forgotten.

I know they do NOT have an ice cream/yogurt machine

You can buy ice cream at Ben & Jerry's for a fee

You can order ice cream in the diningroom in the evenings and sometimes for lunch.

Serrentos is upstairs in the Windjammer deck 12 in front of Jade Sushi

Jade/Sushi (not to be confused with Jade Sushi Restaruant) is offer in the evening in the Windjammer on deck 11 & deck 12 (according to RCI deck plans)

Jade Sushi is offered by menu with a fee per what you order (same as restaruants) and it is located upstairs in the Windjammer

Is there a deli on the monarch???

[dolfandude]

No deli on the Monarch. Sorry.

[maritar]

[quote name='m4hami']Is there any ice cream available on the Monarch? If so where and what times? :D[/quote]

Just back from the Monarch. Ice cream was served every day (except the first day) at 3:30pm in the back part of the Windjammer.

Jsme, thanks for putting it all together! :p
I'm trying to figure out where the secret balcony is... Is it between the 7th & 8th decks? Or is it on the 8th deck? Anyone have a pic of the aft of the ship?

It's on Deck 8. If you are on Deck 9 or 10 you can just take the aft stairs down. From Deck 7 you can take the aft stairs up. I don't recall any access from Deck 8 itself, except for 'crew only' doors.

Have you tried pricing out 2 connecting cabins? We got 8532 & 8534 for August & it was less than 300.00 extra. We did the same thing when we sailed Sovereign a couple years ago & was like having a 2 br suite. We had the kids in one room with their own bath & TV & DH & I were next door & we kept the door open in between. It was less than $300 to add the extra cabin.

Does the Monarch offer the Rasul in the spa?

[missbogota]

Check out the roll call board... by my count there are 18, plus you and your travel companion(s).

Counting down the days...

Wow, you are way more ambitious than I! I read the first couple of pages of this thread (and fell in love with Jen and her website-loved the 109 page review of another RC ship!), and I read the last couple of pages (thanks for those who have summarized)... I just hope I'm not missing anything in-between!

Wow, I'm impressed! We're sailing on Monarch in April and I am accumulating my set of questions before I hit the search feature. Hopefully they will be answered somewhere in those 68 pages!
