Lloyd555 Posted February 23, 2017 #501 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Is this one going to have the abyss and typhoon like harmony? anything unique to this one over harmony? I've heard of a revamped Abyss. As for the Perfect Storm water slides, maybe someone else has news. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if the relatively few people in BB cabins who are affected by the blocked view are going to cancel out the popularity of the slide and big marketing tool that is created by the Abyss. And this is from a Boardwalk Balcony lover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is from a Boardwalk Balcony lover! We just got off Harmony this past weekend and our Boardwalk view cabin and we loved it. IMO Abyss is a great addition. There was much more activity at the rear of the ship than there was last year on Oasis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is from a Boardwalk Balcony lover! Probably not...but there's little doubt that a portion of the potential future cruise booking population will simply forgo considering the Boardwalk balconies altogether simply because they don't care for the partially blocked view in that area.

Rare vacationlover_mn Posted February 27, 2017 #509 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Just off the HOS, and my one suggestion for the Solarium on Symphony is replace the dumb misters with more deck chairs or another hot tub!!!

(I didn't miss the pool at all...) Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Also just off Harmony...the misters are a waste, IMO.....if I was a 4 year old who enjoyed running through the sprinklers at home, it might be of interest....but as an adult -- NO. When we were on Allure, we did not use the Solarium much because it felt like a 'hot house' since it had no open air for the heat contained in the solarium through which to leave. The nicer design of the glass and open sections of the roof to allow heat to escape, would have been made EVEN MORE ENJOYABLE with a POOL in it....but alas no. So, an improvement for Symphony would be putting a pool back into the Solarium, for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken at the beach Posted February 27, 2017 #511 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I just noticed this but in the 2015 Annual Report it now lists Oasis 4 (Symphony) as having a delivery date of Q1 2018. The previous reports have listed her as having a delivery date of Q2 2018. Looks like construction is ahead of schedule. This could make for a few cooler cruises for her initial itineraries.

So, an improvement for Symphony would be putting a pool back into the Solarium, for sure. My opinion on Allure and Oasis was the same. I did like lounging in the large round seats at the front of Oasis late as night watching other ships go by. I wish Allure had those. On our Eastern Oasis cruise we watched Allure pass us buy returning to port. I assume that can be done on Harmony now, but there was a lot of ship traffic between FLL and Nassua on a Saturday night.

Lloyd555 Posted March 2, 2017 #517 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I have Symphony of the Seas deck plans forwarded to me from rccllibrary.com. They include the updated categorized cabins.

Lloyd555 Posted March 2, 2017 #520 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I meant to say... Note changes to the cabins at the end aft end. Two extra balcony cabins on each side and change to AquaTheater suites (compared to Harmony of the Seas). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones you posted on FB can't be seen if magnified, but the ones on Pinterest are very clear. Also, is there a color-coded category plan available?

Paulette3028 Posted March 2, 2017 #522 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Looks like a pool in the solarium. [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Forums Yes it does....but I wonder what the Harmony deck plan looks like to compare the differences. The misters that they had in Harmony's solarium were disgusting. If I was a 4 year old, maybe I would have felt different. Then on the pool deck they dedicated one of the pools as 'adult only' -- which only made each pool more crowded. Putting a pool back in the solarium would be much better. Hopefully this pool deck layout on Symphony is accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robo1098 Posted March 2, 2017 #524 Share Posted March 2, 2017 To me the solarium area looks the same as Harmony. There is already a hot tub in the middle area and the misters are aft of that. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
