tonyfsu21 Posted November 27, 2022 Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 My family & I just returned from sailing Odyssey for the Holiday. We had an excellent cruise, everything was perfection. The Music Hall is an amazing venue (especially on Odyssey). We were there every single night enjoying the karaoke, bands exc. The upstairs area is prime time with plenty of seats, pool tables and a full bar. I’ve been before on other ships but for some reason (maybe the layout), I enjoyed this venue on Odyssey more than the others. For anyone getting ready to sail her, you are in for a treat!

I really think I’m ready to try a quantum class ship. We were really torn btw odyssey and harmony and ended up doing harmony since it came back Saturday. But this sounds amazing!

Mike n Ky Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 Quote We have been looking forward to sailing Odyssey since we booked it in December 2021 for our January cruise in 23. Putting the music hall on our list! Thanks for the suggestion. tonyfsu21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twangster Posted November 28, 2022 Report Share Posted November 28, 2022 The Music Hall on Quantum class has always been an awesome venue. Much better than Dazzles/MH on Oasis class. WAAAYTOOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ampurp85 Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 I did like that the Music Hall on Odyssey held most of the parties and turned it the "night club" but I very much dislike Quantum class and their horrible layout and lack of Promenade. I was actually put off by Quantum class and will sail any other class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike.s Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 A downside of the Music Hall on Anthem is the music (or the bass beat) drowns out the piano player in the Schooner bar and we agree with @Ampurp85, the Promenade is much better on the Freedom/Voyager class ships.

twangster Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 What I like about the Esplanade on Quantum class is that I can bypass it and walk above it looking down into the Esplanade by using deck 5. You are not stuck fighting your way through as the only means to move forward and aft like you are on Voyager, Freedom and Oasis class Promenades. T-shirt sale on the Promenade? Forget it, take an elevator to the pool deck to go forward. At least on Q class I can use deck 5 on port or starboard, by way of the rarely used Bionic Bar or the Wonderland side to walk above the t-shirt sale. I really wish the Promenade on other classes had an interior walkway one deck above the Promenade like Quantum class do. Great for people watching. Great for events like parades. The Schooner Bar on Q class is disappointing since there are no windows. FoxboroCruiser and MarcBerger 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff P Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 Agree with Twangster and Waaaytoo, I like the Esplanade and being able to use deck 5 and look down. To me it seemed to flow better than the promenade on Adventure. I also really enjoyed Music Hall as a venue, we went there a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhbon78 Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 How late does the music in Music Hall go on? We have rooms on hold on Wonder of the Seas for next fall, but they’re directly above Music Hall. I’m wondering if the music goes late at night and will keep our kids up.

On Odyssey it was often turned into the night club so 2-3am is how late the music went on. Odyssey and Wonder are two different class of ship, so I don't know whether or not it also turns into a nightclub but expect music and activities until at least 1am.

My brother & I were drinking beers at 1:30am and the live music set didn’t seems to be near completion. This might have been due to the holiday sailing. I can’t comment on how well they sound proofed the venue but if the engineers did 1/2 as well sound proofing as they did designing that amazing venue then I would say your kids won’t hear a thing.

Ampurp85 Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 I think whether something will be too loud or not is personal preference. I have stayed in aft cabins under the WJ and pool and close by Dazzles and heard nothing. However I stayed midship deck 3 and heard so much.

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel on Promenade/Esplanade, but like you, I did find the 2 level implementation to work really well. As a group, we really liked Quantum class.

TessFromFlorida Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 4 hours ago, ChristinaMomOf03 said: Our cabins are arund the corner and am wondering if it be loud into the night time? We sailed Odyssey last summer and the sound didn't travel in the same way it did on our Ovation sailing. The bass was PUMPING late into the night on that ship. It was most likely the sound tech who was to blame on Ovation and not the acoustic panels (or lack thereof), but we were in a 10th floor ocean view starboard balcony and the bass kept me up pretty late each night. Because they are sister ships, it may come down to the person running the soundboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Schooner Bar on Q class is disappointing since there are no windows. I agree with everything stated, sorely needed on Oasis Class. It can be engineered in, I doubt it will ever happen. However, the bold/underline speaks volumes...I have thought of this many times as I'm cutoff from moving further on Oasis Class. Also, agree on Schooner Bar...one of the more soothing/relaxing aspect of the bar, during the mid part of the day, is looking out into vastness....which is none & void on Quantum class. It's like Schooner Bar tucked away in a grand closet....that the give & take off Quantum class ship. As much as like this class of ship, there are some tweaks I wish could be made...but your analysis is spot on, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
