Sherri914 Posted September 30, 2014 #101 Share Posted September 30, 2014 The Living Walls in CP are being..... decimated.... as I write.... we saw workmen carrying plants out through the adjoining 2 staterooms on deck 10. Are they doing away with the living walls for good? :confused: Central Park is such a beautiful area on the ship - particularly those living walls. I have a CP Balcony booked next year and hope CP is as beautiful as it was last time we were aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why is has been disassembled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swooldri Posted September 30, 2014 #104 Share Posted September 30, 2014 NorbertsNiece posted this as well as pictures of the hidden balconies being gutted and changed into suites. She just got off Oasis today. Originally Posted by NorbertsNiece View Post Today's Compasses attached. 'Cupcake Cupboard' being moved to the Boardwalk. Will be a designer clothes shop in its place...

DL moving to Deck 4 as is Izumi on opposite sides. Viking Crown will be going. 2 new Royal Lofts. 6 new Aqua suites coming. Whole bunch of rooms across the price range being incorporated but may not necessarily be bookable until end November..... This is not all happening during refit. It's not all been months in the planning.... some of it has only been weeks.... The Living Walls in CP are being..... decimated.... as I write.... we saw workmen carrying plants out through the adjoining 2 staterooms on deck 10. Per the above. Is the Viking Crown being converted to Royal Lofts or is the Concierge Lounge moving to Deck 17 where the Viking Crown was?

RVRoadie Posted September 30, 2014 #105 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Dynamic Dining sounds a lot like Norwegian Freestyle. I suspect the change was inevitable, and I for one will welcome it. We were on the Oasis TA, and there were lots of partially filled tables after the first night. On one occasion, new friends invited us to take empty seats at their table. The waiter had to "check" first, but they accommodated us. The new system will be much more efficient, as long as you don't try to dine at the same time as everybody else. I thought the food on the Oasis was great, and we didn't even get to all the free options available. Paying for a speciality restaurant is nice, but not necessary in order to enjoy your cruise.

Peterbilt Driver Posted October 1, 2014 #112 Share Posted October 1, 2014 At the rate that RCCL is doing away with public space to add cabins and specialty dining. Soon you will be restricted to your cabin unless you are in an up charge specialty dining area. But then that would be the most cost efficient and would make the efficacy experts very happy!

LoL Theoretically it bothers me but when I think about what they're actually doing, and remember my 3 weeks so far on Oasis Class ships, it doesn't bother me anymore. They're basically making better use of very lightly used areas and rearranging other areas in a way that makes more sense. For example, the existing DL couldn't be used most weeks because it was simply too small. So, the DL winds up as wasted space and a second venue, Blaze, has to be used. Makes more sense to me to put a small restaurant or bar in the existing DL space and move the DL to a more suitable location. The only real loss here IMHO is the VCL, which was very lightly used on my Oasis Class sailings to begin with, and the secret balconies which were also lightly used (by non-CC members lol). In any event, I look forward to seeing the finished product! Sent from my iPhone using Cruise Critic Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeski27 Posted October 1, 2014 #120 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Just found it interesting that they haven't removed that from the charts FYI, if you go back to that thread regarding the supposed "new Oasis deck plans" from the UK site, you'll find that I debunked that whole thing. It turns out that those plans everyone was looking at were actually current Allure plans, not Oasis. So that's that. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the Boardwalk. Might be true, but I know for a fact that these webcams are extremely notorious for not updating as advertised. I know in the days/weeks/months leading up to our past Oasis/Allure sailings, we'll watch the webcams and always notice that they sometimes go 2-3 days without updating, then all of a sudden they're back on a regular schedule again. So I'm not surprised at all that they don't update perfectly (I'd actually be very shocked if they did :cool:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
