Honestly, they should have a Diamond/D+ lounge AND a separate PINNACLE lounge.... Since I became Diamond, only bothered to check out the lounge on Allure, Wonder and Odyssey....I'm going next month on Freedom and might go, but it's NOT a big deal to me and since they don't have the OPEN BAR cocktail time like years ago, the coffee machine is a nice thing and a concierge and the snacks, otherwise, it's kind of useless...IMHO

It's likely starting in January, around when ICON launches.... EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize that WONDER is testing it out now! On some cruises...not all....

Where to BUY one of those shirts?1?!?!?!?

You can change and update the reservations daily, once you make the first ones with a host. I've always done that because people end up cancelling and moving around their reservations, and days/times for certain restaurants will open up! I love the UDP! I haven't been in a main dining room since 2017...to each their own....

I think the FRIEND owes her money....certainly NOT Royal....WOW

that picture is WONDER

still a long ways away and likely a clone of Wonder. latest pic I found from Dec 18, 2022

Still just OASIS last I heard. Never saw officially Oasis Plus directly from RCCL Icon is Icon.

they are always at Sorrentos on Oasis class ships, as well as Freedom class.

old list. obviously WONDER and ODYSSEY have them too.

EDITED: I always bring a pack of 4 REDBULL in my carry on. Yes they also have them at the bars and you can get them delivered to the cabin with a hangtag

You can book brunch right away on the App, once on board. Or just go directly there!

Sure, it's the 6th and final oasis class ship being built in France. Booking will likely open up spring/summer of 2023....It won't be done till end of 2024. 6 days ago. courtesy Pavels Kurenbins Send Icon is much closer to being completed and will be doing sea trials by summer/fall 2023 and debuting Jan 2024.

Thanksgiving week on Odyssey OTS, the machine on pool deck at El Loco Fresh never let me refill, it said to wait a few hours!!! Of course I went to the ones in Windjammer and Sorrentos and worked fine.

Good idea, BUT never going to happen!

From what @twangster has said before, pretty sure their wiring is too obsolete for Starlink to be added.

If you like variety of sodas, and powerade, you need to use the cup at the freestyle machine. I'm a fan of using it! But hey, to each their own. I have so many of them at home on a shelf, so last week I just put it in the garbage before I disembarked.

same here, and boarding tomorrow! Batman362 should have contacted guest services as it seems like he's handicapped and is used to the old smaller ships. Obviously Odyssey isn't for him!

I was on the 5 day US inaugural 1 year ago this week and will be boarding again in FLL on Nov 19th. This ship and Wonder are my favorites in the fleet. This is NOT the ship for people obsessed with the size, shows and amenities that the Oasis class has. Still awesome shows, food and plenty to do. To each their own! I can't wait to be back on board for 8 nights! It definitely seems the European boarding process is much crazier then here in the US.

I'll be on Odyssey OTS and plan on watching the football games and eating at PLAYMAKERS!!!

No need to guess, Icon is out of Miami from January 2024, through at least April 2025. https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/icon-of-the-seas Perhaps once ICON 2 is finished late 2024 or 2025, Galveston will get an Icon class.

interesting, for me on Nov 19th on Odyssey, still shows they are "putting the finishing touches on"

"SHIP HAPPENS" As others have said, sure it stinks, but, you are still on Vacation and can find other ways to enjoy other then to complain.

I'll be checking that out when I'm onboard next month! Looking forward to it!

Yes and No...look at it this way. On current ships, Splash away Bay is on the main pool deck. With Icon, it's ALL THE WAY DOWN on the new boardwalk! Thus, the pool deck SHOULD have less to no kids at all!!!! But according to the deck plans I saw, OCEANS ADVENTURE is directly across from PLAYMAKERS....how and why?!?! that makes NO SENSE. Time will tell, but I think it will be a great mix for ALL.
