AshleyDillo Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Suite welcome letter mentions the 5pm-8pm Suite Lounge Happy Hour but not the 11am-11pm soda/beer/wine. The bartender didn't know and had to call someone to verify. The lounge is laid out very weirdly. It's right in the front entrance to Coastal Kitchen but then wraps around to the left side and to the back corner of the area. There are some prime real estate seats that have floor to ceiling views of the aquadome. MaryS, Cactus527, Jax and 7 others 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She likes it a lot..the window makes it really warm in the room, though. My brother and I aren't fans of that.

I can't even fathom Spring Break on that Huge ship! Looking forward to the trip report! @AshleyDillo Can anyone access the suite sun deck, is it down a hallway like the Wonder set up?

The sliding doors don't open unless you tap the card..so someone would have to tail you in there. It's located right off the forward elevator bank.

Lovetocruise2002 Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 @Neesa I feel like, at the moment; that the suite sundeck is better controlled compared to wonder. Also, one of the concierges just told me earlier that they plan to rotate and have one of three concierges in The Grove most of the time. So hopefully that will help deter the wanderers too. asquared17, bellemiche, WAAAYTOOO and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neesa Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 @AshleyDillo nooooo, I said the same it was so light out I had to shut my blinds and turn off the lights to see them. To bad they couldn't have waited 15 minutes more. Bye, bye have a great sailing! The web cam shows 1298 of us watching you right now! Thanks for the Groves pics!!
