DCT61 Posted October 24, 2014 #301 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) "I find it odd that the Crown Loft Suites have two full bathrooms and that neither features a soaking tub/Jacuzzi" That's ok with me! We sailed on the SAPPHIRE PRINCESS in a penthouse suite with a Jacuzzi. I filled the tub up, got in, and turned on the jets. A huge wad of (red) hair shot out of one of the nozzles. I got out of the tub in record time. No more cruise ship or hotel Jacuzzis for me! Besides, the huge shower (there are pictures which show 3 people in them) with the dual heads MORE than makes up for the lack of tub....for me anyway.

Anastasia6236 Posted October 24, 2014 #307 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Thanks so much for sharing your trip! I am enjoying every bit. But on a selfish note, were able to get pictures of the new grand suites construction indoor or outdoors? Not sure if I missed it.

ixpert Posted October 25, 2014 #324 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm excited to see what's all new! Enjoy your trip! Thanks for keeping us all posted on the Oasis updates. We have been following you on your trip! We board Oasis November 8th-15. Cant wait! We look forward to your comments and Photos every evening! Hey mike, I have been enjoying your review of the allure of the seas. You did an awesome job! loved the pics, and the just finished watching the Videos.:) I too, am a swimmer ( just to keep in shape though) Did you use the lap pool on allure? It looks to be pretty small. Did you see any kick boards available? ( I had a shoulder injury a few months back and still try not 100% yet:( so I take breaks and have to do a lot more kick laps! Or can anyone else answer my questions? Thanks! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good News / Bad News Oasis has run out on bananas, but... There is no fruit near the ketchup, and no ketchup near the fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
