I think so, no, and yes. 🙂
There's no solarium, but there's a pretty big adults only area. With multiple bars.
We are looking forward to trying it- it looks like a total blast- as I see it, it addressed every major complaint (not including too many people), fixed them, and then took what worked for both Oasis and Quantum, and amped them up (to use their term).
There looks to be huge areas to see the sea- from the Royal Promenade to all of the swimming areas. Fixed the lack of sea views on Oasis.
There are a TON of water areas, including the largest pool at sea- fixing the lack of pools complaint.
Took the low used aqua theater and 1) turned the original space to an expanded boardwalk- family area with some cool pool areas then 2) moved the actual theater indoors so that it is not subject to the weather for the shows plus 3) combined it with 270 so that it can be used all day all the time- unlike the aqua theater.
I'm not a huge slide person- but holy cow. Good for the people who adore them (which there seems to be a lot- and I loved them as a kid).
The zip line is even more adventurous going over the side of the ship.
The ice rink appears to be more theatrical- which should be fun.
The suite area- geez. Good way to get the high revenue things going, that's for sure. If it means I can get a reasonable price on a JS, go ahead and sell as many $20k cabins as you can.
And that's just the major details.
Very much looking forward to it. Just not right away.
May wait until Icon II comes out so that the price is reasonable.
