Clarea Posted November 2, 2016 #276 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Might bode well for other ships going into dry dock soon - like Rhapsody. I agree. I cannot think of any ship that has been upgraded to O3b since Majesty. I was thinking they had decided not to roll out O3b to the rest of the fleet.

mollyeilis Posted November 2, 2016 #277 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hurricane Nicole went through around that time, Hurricane Matthew hit the Bahamas Oct 5&6 as a cat 3 & 4. Some of the Bahama islands took a lot of damage where others faired pretty well, also the the shipping containers for the dry dock remodel never made it to the Bahamas as the cargo ships were rerouted away from the Hurricane and continued on there routes without stopping in the hurricane path zones. Sent from my iPad using Forums Exactly. Shipping by container ship isn't like going by plane. They can't just put the containers on the next flight. They can't change plans on a dime. They don't go very fast. The ship had other places to go, and can't hang around waiting to get to one place or they'll be late for everywhere else.

Timcy Posted November 2, 2016 #278 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Timcy - I keep thinking of you and hoping that you get an update from RCI soon! Have you called C&A about it? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Did a bit of investigating, my TA can move me to Deck 9 or we can wait to see if RCI plays nice and upgrades me to a cabin on Deck 10. The REALLY disappointing thing is I paid for the room on the pool deck. Yes, I chose to pay more due to the cabin location, not because it was a JS. So, being switched to JS on 9, results in the feeling of "if I wanted a JS on deck 9 I would have booked it from the start." I guess I'm hoping they choose to upgrade me to Deck 10 near the stairs, so I am as close to the pool deck as possible. Thank you for thinking of me. Fingers crossed RCI recognizes my disappointment.

Nana57 Posted November 2, 2016 #279 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Where is the Diamond Club Lounge located for evening drinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OfTheSeasCruiser Posted November 2, 2016 #280 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Well, they might be right. Fingers crossed! With the new cabins and chops not being added, do you think the nightclub will remain? The updated deck plans, which show no cabins on deck 12 and no Izumi, still show cabins on deck 3 replacing the lower level of the nightclub. That could be wrong, but it seems that they may have finished those cabins. :confused: Edited November 2, 2016 by OfTheSeasCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipster1 Posted November 2, 2016 #281 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Where is the Diamond Club Lounge located for evening drinks? Nana57, It's on Deck 14, off to the side from the Viking Crown Lounge. It's a really nice space. It has outdoor seating overlooking the basketball court. It was a great place to get my afternoon espresso fix and read in quiet!;) Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only deck plans that come up on my screen are the printable PDF versions. Edited November 2, 2016 by khm1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter75 Posted November 6, 2016 #283 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Wow! Im glad I decided to stroll around in Cruise Critic today and stumble upon this thread. We are booked on Adventure the second week of January and have pre-paid for the 2 night specialty dining package with the intent of eating at Chops. If that is not going to be available until "early next year", I assume it will not be ready for our sailing the second week of January. I would hope they will give us a refund for that package. I am sorta bummed as this would have been our first specialty dining experience. The other changes do not effect us much but I do hope they were able to complete the cabin upgrades (new TV, bedding, etc). Which week of January? We'll be on the January 7th sailing.

happymanitee Posted November 14, 2016 #288 Share Posted November 14, 2016 If I figure out how, I will upload some later. I can tell you the whole ship has new carpet, including the staterooms. The flow rider is up and running and there are freestyle coke machines. But, as expected, the slides are not open, and neither is Chops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divaofdisney Posted November 14, 2016 #289 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Thank you so much for the update. I am excited to see new pictures of the ship! I know we have over a year to go yet but i am so excited to sail back on her again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseCheapsk8 Posted November 14, 2016 Author #290 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Someone just commented this on the other thread- "looks like old bedding and couches. Some carpet looks new but the carpet in the hall on the 9th deck is definitely older. Coke Freestyle machines are working! Two on the promenade next to the cafe."

jticarruthers Posted November 26, 2016 #295 Share Posted November 26, 2016 3 cabins in our group and spoke to a handful of others, no return work done in any of our cabins. We did have the "slab of stone" beds but don't know if those were new or rotated in prior to drydock. Some public areas were refreshed and nice but others were not. Kids water area was working about half the time, very small but looked fun. One hot tub down until day 7. Big slides inactive. Flowrider working. Freestyle soda working. No draught beer in pub.

skiiergirl Posted November 27, 2016 #296 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Slide definitely NOT complete! Big gap n the tube! Looks like it is missing one section. Big crane and workers up there today. Agree new mini golf definitely not interesting. Something I have not seen mentioned.....the elevators no longer change days! The section that previously held the "day of the week" is now carpeted like the rest of the elevator. Our room definitely did not get any type of refurb at all! Flow Rider was open this afternoon.

In your dreams Posted November 27, 2016 #297 Share Posted November 27, 2016 My email was received directly from Royal Caribbean. It is a little different. Mine did not reference the new rooms at all.

Our thoughts are with those affected by the storm. * Adventure of the Seas, the ship on which you’ve booked your vacation, is scheduled for renovation in Freeport, Bahamas during October and November.

Throughout the ship, you will notice an updated design and décor, as well as newly renovated areas such as Boleros Latin lounge and the two-story mini golf course. * Unfortunately, the following features will not be available for your cruise: * ·******** Dual Racer water slides ·******** FlowRider surf simulator ·******** Splashaway Bay kids’ aqua park As part of the planned dining enhancements, Chops Grille will open early next year, while Izumi Japanese Cuisine will no longer be offered.

71Corvette Posted November 27, 2016 #299 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Geez, what a disappointment. I'm starting to wonder what they actually accomplished in the dry dock.
