mommao729 Posted February 4, 2019 Author #154 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I asked if the navigator was getting the freestyle coke machines and they told me no. I wish they would’ve put a sorrento’s on there instead of a blow dry bar. But still very excited to see the new upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do these refreshment packages work on ships that don’t have the freestyle machines? Do you still get the souvenir cup? I purchased for my sailing, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the café promenade on this class of ship basically has Sorrento‘s in the Café Promenade. They still have the pizza and stuff Dan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atricks Posted February 5, 2019 #160 Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) We took advantage of the Kids Sail free and got a guaranteed room on the April 12th sailing (Ends on Easter Sunday). and we'll have a 4 year old with us Two things, first, do they do anything special for easter (Egg hunts the day before, etc?) But I'm more concerned with the new Adventure Ocean, the blurbs about it are new style of "Open Free Play". We've done a RC Cruise before where they were split into the age groups, but the refurb doesn't seem like they will have the room for it. It looks like the new Adventure ocean takes over the old space of Johnny Rockets, since they are moving the fitness center to the old AO location, so basically shrinking the size of Adventure Ocean. The old fitness center (by the Solarium) is now just new cabins. I'm a bit unsure of how this will work, and it will be hard to tell since this seems like a first for Royal. But anyone who goes to the earlier sailings before April 12th, information on how this new kids area is actually set up would be and works appreciated.

kknorr0320 Posted February 5, 2019 #161 Share Posted February 5, 2019 On the cruises we've done the kids were always in together due to there not being a lot of kids. We've never had any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you It can be a good thing or bad depending on your preferences. It is nice having a "one-stop-shop" in the Royal Promenade, so it's convenient not having to walk from one end of the promenade for pizza, and then all the way to the other end for sandwiches. However, it is one venue, so the seating isn't as spread out. We like both options on the Freedom Class and the Voyager class. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommao729 Posted February 5, 2019 Author #163 Share Posted February 5, 2019 It’s been a long time since I have been on the voyager class. My first royal Caribbean cruise was on voyager of the seas in 2004. Then explorer. I have been on the freedom twice with another cruise on her next April from San Juan. i have done oasis twice and the harmony once. Have symphony booked for September. I am am very excited to be going on navigator especially with the upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan I agree with you, it is nice having a one-stop-shop but at the same time, at least from my experience on Explorer, the pizza was 100x worse than it is on ships with a dedicated Sorrentos. I mean Explorer's pizza was barely edible imo. I would actually be included to spend a little more and buy food for a nominal fee across at the new Playmakers...depending on how late they serve too...which I wouldn't be surprised if they stop before midnight, because typical Royal.

Agreed, one of my pet peeves with Royal... lack of late night food options. I'm definitely planning to make use of what Playmakers offers. I love that they have wings and other typical pub options. I just hope they serve food until closing, or close to it. We'll see. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Just looked at a Mariner compass from July 2018 and Playmakers and Bamboo Room stopped serving snacks at midnight, but the Windjammer was open for “late night snacks” until 12:30...lol. So there’s that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there’s that. I was just about to reply with this! I also read somewhere (i cant remember where) that they would be serving "late night food" at the Lime and Coconut. I don't know how that would happen unless a burger station was set up on the deck. Makes sense if they are using it for late night deck parties that there is food readily available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my major pet peeves on Anthem was there were no outside deck parties and every single outdoor bar closed early. Granted, Music Hall was a suitable late night venue, but on the Voyager/Freedom class, the Crown isn't that large of an area, so hoping they have a dj or music outside at night with the new Lime and Coconut. And you're right, would be great if the taco place or JR opened late too...forgot about those! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo807 Posted February 5, 2019 #170 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Does anyone know what the kids pool/splash park area is going to look like on this ship?

ANYTHING has to be better than how it's been the last 5-10 years. 12am for Playmakers is an improvement, and I'll have to keep an eye out for late night snacks in the Windjammer! Late night pool deck stuff would be fun if they are having one of the parties up there! Will find out in a little over a month! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
