BaikG Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 I believe at this time, all details except for the rooms, are up to speculation as the deck plans above show the Solarium set up like Spectrum with Silver Dining and Suite-only access. This wouldn’t make sense with the CL being so far away and taking away the Solarium from non-suite guests in that market. However, if it is, the Silver Dining location could be turned into CK.

BaikG Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Also, I understand how the Suite Club design and the change in location of the Gym and Spa on Spectrum couldn’t be translated to Odyssey, but if there aren’t new rooms and capacity being added, what makes it a Quantum Ultra class ship?

AshleyDillo Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 14 minutes ago, mattymay said: What the actual?? There's a premium for new ship + US holiday sailings. If you look at the upcoming New Years Freedom Group Cruise on Royal's site it is currently at: The group prices that were locked in by MEI for this Freedom sailing were just under $1900 for TWO people. If you are interested in the Odyssey sailings you may want to check with MEI to see if they've secured group pricing yet for a particular sailing. The travel agencies know there will be demand for these sailings as more and more people find out about them, so they are reserving blocks of rooms which will lock in the lower prices before demand makes them increase even further.

You may be able to look into booking with a US travel agent and get the USD pricing. I think the Australian pricing may include some things that the US pricing doesn't -- more consumer protection and included gratuities? Haven't really looked into it but I have heard some grumbling that they also don't allow taking advantage of price drops either when you book from the Australian site.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 So just to be sure, Odyssey is not exactly like Spectrum in that it doesn't seem to have the Golden/Silver JS that Spectrum has correct. I finally had time today to take a more closer look at the deck plans that @CGTLH shared and it doesn't look like they have that Deck 16 setup like how Spectrum does. But it is considered the same class of ship as Spectrum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say so, even with the difference in cabin locations and amenities. Foot print still seems the same, good example is the jut out on 16. I'm sure many of disappointed about not maintaining the "ship within a ship" concept with the Suites and amenities. Same time a huge uproar started due to restricted Solarium that was a core element of the "ship within a ship" design.

I finally had time today to take a more closer look at the deck plans that @CGTLH shared and it doesn't look like they have that Deck 16 setup like how Spectrum does. But it is considered the same class of ship as Spectrum? It is a Quantum Ultra or Plus but it's not clear from the preliminary deck plans how the forward decks 13 - 16 will end up. For example on Spectrum deck 13 has a lot grand suites a few "Golden Balcony" cabins forward port side. They are in a dedicated "Golden space" with card readers in the halls (blue dots on deck plans). Those blue dots remain on the preliminary Odyssey deck plans but those cabins appear to be regular balcony cabins. On deck 9 - 12 on the hump where Anthem has OS, Spectrum and Odyssey show JS on the hump. On Spectrum the golden area has its own elevator that goes from deck 13 to 16. On Odyssey this same elevator seems to go from deck 14 to 16 with cabins on deck 13 where this elevator is on Spectrum. The Solarium on deck 13 has blue dots (card readers) at its entrances. This could be a copy/paste error or maybe the Solarium will be for suites. Comparing Spectrum deck 14 to 16 forward it looks very different between Spectrum and Odyssey. It's interesting that some deck plan features are unique to Odyssey so it suggests she will have a new layout different from her sisters but then those card readers are there which suggests the Solarium could be suites only. That will be big news if that is true. The deck 13 aft Concierge Club for example. Only Quantum class ship with this on deck 13. No suite lounge called out. That's surprising. A CL but no SL? What? Too early to draw conclusions. Lovetocruise2002 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Coastal Kitchen hasn't been formally named that..but there's an unnamed eatery on Deck 14 by the WJ where it's typically located on Quantum Class. Cafe 270 doesn't have a label either.

WAAAYTOOO Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Interesting that they will have an Izumi and a teppanyaki in separate locations. I am very surprised to see that they will continue with the Concierge Lounge and have not switched over to the Suites Lounge. I also notice that they did NOT adopt the ship-within-a-ship concept for the suites. Very happy to see that the downgraded the aft suites on deck 10 from Star Class. They were not SC caliber AT ALL.

twangster Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Giovanni's plus Jamie's? Deck plans still show Jamie's. No Playmakers on the deck plans. Restaurant symbol where Coastal Kitchen should be. There is also some evidence the outdoor seating area for Jamie's could be consumed for another lifeboat. I think the deck plans have a little work to go. JS benefits state CK, full suites don't. Hmmm.
