‘Six floors down would have been a great spot to have the Adults Only Area and had the little kids area right behind the waterslides where the Hideaway adults area is now. That would have made much more sense.
 

We keep waiting for better ships and itineraries sailing from New Orleans.  Our drive is 5 hours to Galveston and 8 hours to New Orleans.  Would love 3 days in the French Quarter followed by a quality (not Cozumel / Costa Maya / Roatan) 7 or 10 day sailing! 

I would love to see something like that...imagine a Voyager Class ship, porting out of New Orleans.

LoL! "....to the more aged; BUT, AMPED". 
 
LoL....you know what, you're right, I should have worded that better. 😳 <face palm>

Wow....thanks !

Agreed, it seem, it would have been more fitting, to have newer release as their primary ship, doing 7 itineraries, as well as the occasional 6 or 8 day itineraries. Leave the short 3-5 day itineraries, in Florida, to the more aged; but amped, Oasis & Allure otS. The business concept appear backwards to me. To garner more fans of cruising, to the Galveston port, with shiny new terminal, I would think Royal would put its best feet forward, with the likes of Utopia, Wonder, or even Odyssey. And, as you say about the Western Caribbean not being one of the more exciting destinations, a newer ship, with all the latest techno toys, would do 'Wonders', pun intended, in elevating that market even more.
 
Totally agree with you TX CP. 👍🏼 

Discovery Class can't come soon enough!!!

Gee fellas, at Costa Maya there is an already unused/closed down/abandoned resort that your patrons could walk to just to the right of the pier. Did you consider putting your money there?
I know the Costa Maya port authority is a tougher group than most, but I gotta think your private beach destination idea would be a whole lot more well received by passengers  here than in Cozumel. 

Still holding out for Melody of the Seas...

Just got off the Discovery Princess; so yes, I'm very happy to hear a Quantum Class will start cruising the West Coast. I agree bobroo, being just 4hrs away, oh yeah, I will cruise a lot more... traveling East gets quite expensive at times. I just wish bookings started October 2024 instead. 😶

I certainly agree with WaayTooo assessment on reason why Ultimate Abyss will be installed on the Allure of the Seas; however, I couldn't agree more with your(Mike n Ky) sentiment. I think a roller-tracked Zipline, that venture off both back sides, diagonally, of the ship(like racers), briefly over the sea, back in towards the Boardwalk, a number of cabins deep into & over said Boardwalk, to its current ending point, using an applied braking system. This, imo, would be a much more thrilling & fun attraction, while attracting more traffic to both areas of the ship(Deck 16 & 6). Get more repeat adventures... as proof, the current rendition of the zipline onboard now, which appear to very, very popular, constantly in operation, despite the short length & very quick duration, of the attraction. 

Ikr... I have yet to see one. I'm hoping to find one on my next cruise. <fingers crossed> 🤞

I cruised on Oasis a few months after she got amped. Now either Royal didn't do their due diligence or they had a tremendous population of filthy cruisers during the months before I board.

Wished Oasis had gotten new carpeting & chairs, out of that $165 mil amping, with soiled carpet & chairs...

Just saw that too! We were hoping that would be the plan during the upcoming early 2025 Cadiz dry dock! Now is the time with all this high demand and record revenue! 
We next sail on her in May 2025 (Western Med)... fingers crossed for sure! 🤞 😎
