dedosr Posted March 15, 2016 #1851 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Why would they do that? I'd say this a good argument: "I booked an inward facing neighborhood balcony, but my view of the ocean was obstructed!" I don't believe it is a good argument, because, the view was partially obstructed prior to the slide by the structure that is already at the rear of the ship that supports the diving platforms, the RC Logo, the white fabric, and the video screen. If you are truly upset by the slides, I would change staterooms while you can so as not to spoil your vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisecrazymama Posted March 16, 2016 #1859 Share Posted March 16, 2016 By no means will the abyss ruin our vacation. Had we wanted an ocean view balcony we would have booked one. We always book those on other ships but on the oasis class we like the BW balconies. Especially aft as we enjoy people watching. The peek-a-boo ocean view has always been a plus. sort of the best of both worlds. As to the comment why we would book this cabin if we were so concerned about the view, at the time we booked ( day one of open bookings) the Abyss hadn't been announced. So wasn't anything to be concerned about at that time. Honestly, I was only voicing my opinion. Been checking out all the beautiful new pictures in excitement, but also hoping when I see the slide it will be less intrusive than in my imagination. I certainly didn't mean to ruffle any feathers. My apologies :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BecciBoo Posted March 16, 2016 #1860 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Does RCCL show the room online as having an obstructed view or partially obstructed view? All the Boardwalk balconies are obstructed! Not a big problem, you can see the wake, but next time we'll choose Oceanview. And we had the last cabin next to Aquatheater.

Rare steamboats Posted March 17, 2016 #1869 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Are you talking about the first picture? Because those are the promenade skylights in central park. Exactly, the right one is the "upper end" of the Rising Tide Bar. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfTheSeasCruiser Posted March 17, 2016 #1870 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Exactly, the right one is the "upper end" of the Rising Tide Bar. steamboats If you want to get technical, the glass area above the Rising Tide is not visible in this photo. It would be even further off to the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandma Petania Posted March 18, 2016 #1872 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Thank you. Much more recognizable in the single picture above. I am familiar with the shape, but they looked so distinctly green in the other shot that I was confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poncho1973 Posted March 18, 2016 #1873 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I'm actually kinda psyched up about this ship. It took all that I liked about Oasis and made it better. Oasis wasn't my absolute favorite ship, but this seems to be a big upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
