Clarea Posted July 10, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Which ships (if any) have VIP pool access/deck seating? Voyager, Freedom, Oasis classes for sure. Probably Quantum, but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG65CB Posted July 10, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Navigator of the Seas and Adventure of the Seas have seating areas at the pool that require a gold card. Probably the same on other ships in their class, but these I know of personally. Freedom of the Seas had a reserved seating area at the pool but now they have moved it to a rooftop deck away from the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljcofy Posted July 10, 2017 #5 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Allure has a suite sun deck that is really nice. It is above the Solarium with a lot of chairs, the clamshell type chairs and a few cabanas. Also has a bar. Have to swipe your suite card to access as gates are locked. Very nice overall. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Dazzles Posted July 10, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 10, 2017 As others have said, RC uses gold cards for passengers who are staying in suites. Gold card passengers are technically VIP's. However, higher ranking C&A members (diamond plus) have reserved seating areas in some areas like the ice shows and theater, but they are not really VIP's. Unless staying in a suite they do not have a gold card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom, Oasis, and Radiance really aren't pool friendly like Voyager ships. Is there elevator access to the Oasis suite sundeck?

Clarea Posted July 10, 2017 #8 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Freedom, Oasis, and Radiance really aren't pool friendly like Voyager ships. Is there elevator access to the Oasis suite sundeck? Not to my knowledge. I don't know what they do for folks in scooters or wheelchairs, unless there is some crew elevator that they allow guests to use. I was told that this area was originally a crew rec area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So on Adventure would these reserved seats be fcfs or would there be plenty of seating for all Gold Card holders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Forums mobile app Yes, on o/a the elevator is at the end of the hall with the restrooms, on harmony there is a seperate door with a wheelchair ramp but I could never see in there. They bring carts of towels, ice, drinks, etc up there and the elevators are crew operated. I did notice on harmony there was a enclosed stairwell for crew on the hot tub side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbluegal Posted July 10, 2017 Author #14 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Not necessarily. In my experiences the reserved seats have never been very crowded. How close to the pool are they usually? Are there some sun and some shade options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voyager70 Posted July 10, 2017 #15 Share Posted July 10, 2017 How close to the pool are they usually? Are there some sun and some shade options? On Adventure I believe they're on the "tiered" part of the pool deck which is a great spot if you like sun. Depending on time of day there may be little shade, but you can always take a break and head for the covered areas for some relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reallyitsmema Posted July 10, 2017 #18 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Does this include lowly JS pax (Sea Class), or just GS and above? Nope, not Sea Class. Just GS and above. The sign has the colored cards that have access to the area. The ships with suite class do not give gold cards to suite passengers, they are other colors (maroon and something else??).

setsail Posted July 10, 2017 #21 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) Where does the guest get on that elevator? Good question that I don't have an answer for. It has access on 16 back behind the solarium bar so It might be there on o/a. There is a stairwell back there also.

The elevator is an unmarked door on the opposite side of the hot tub. The elevator terminates next to the restrooms on the suite sundeck area. Kind of disappointing folks with special needs are not provided easier access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have not sailed her since she left PC. On Mariner now, no one using the gold card chairs much. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
