I read the ship will be decorated for Christmas. We figure it will be a perfect opportunity for a nice family Christmas picture(s).

Make reservations early, the normal spa hair saloon fills up early on the afternoons and evenings before the formal nights so I assume this place would also.

I don't know the prices for the blow out place, but I do remember that @twangster took photos of the price card when he sailed Navigator after her AMPED.

CGTLH Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Could see the potential in replacing Vintages with the Bamboo Room. Just wonder if Central Park is the right vibe for it. Vintages does have one parallel with the Bamboo Room, offering small bites for purchase. I'm sure if Vintages does still stick around the tapas selection will be replaced with the Jamie's offerings.

When we were on Symphony a month ago during the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 playoffs, Playmakers was quite frankly not all that busy despite the event. I just don't get the whole concept of being on a gorgeous ship and watching sports, but to each their own. Except for Aqua Theatre events, the whole boardwalk was never that busy.

If Playmakers didn't charge for the food, then I'm sure it would be a lot busier. It's great to have so many options for people's varying interests, though!

zhm Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 The Oasis is back in service, right? Did I miss an announcement on what the changes are?

CGTLH Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Wondering where Portside BBQ and El Loco Fresh will end up going. Lot of reading between the lines I'm visualizing the Diamond Lounge is going away due to Blaze being renamed "Blaze Nightclub and Comedy" Wondering if Music Hall is reusing/branding Dazzles. Current Diamond Lounge seems too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baked Alaska Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Was looking forward to trying Sabor. As of yesterday, it was still in my CP. With El Loco being added, along with the others, I'm not optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of reading between the lines I'm visualizing the Diamond Lounge is going away due to Blaze being renamed "Blaze Nightclub and Comedy" Wondering if Music Hall is reusing/branding Dazzles. Current Diamond Lounge seems too small. My guess is Portside BBQ will be forward deck 16 where the solarium bar is. This is where Hooked is on Symphony and the renderings for Portside show curved railings and sea views. Also, there will be a fee for Portside BBQ (https://www.royalcaribbean.com/cruise-dining/portside-bbq). El Loco Fresh will likely be where wipe out cafe was (deck 15 aft near the sports deck) as that's where it is on Symphony. Renders sure make Music Hall look like Dazzles location. The window behind the stage is a giveaway. I think the Karaoke club will replace On-Air and Bionic will replace Champagne. With the kid's club revamp that's where they'll put the escape room as well (deck 14). That's how it is on Symphony. DublinFC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambia-Zaire Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 Hmmm....the Music Hall does appear to be replacing Dazzles & it looks like the stairs to the second level may be moved to the entrance, allowing more room for the stage & dance area. I guess Diamond Club stays, given no mentioning of Wonderland. Think the Bionic Bar will be a waste of space...would love for that to be the new Bamboo Lounge.
