Rare BillOh Posted January 31, 2018 #26 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Defn some good deals..booked for Oct on her.....I could see the waterslides being a part of the overhaul as it seems that is the trend lately. Losing the mini-golf area prob not a big deal. I thought though they had done some refurbishments in 2017 with a lot of cosmetic stuff done already?! Well if Adventure is an indicator, adding the slides and moving the mini golf to the double decker arrangement like Adventure would be nice.

Rare BillOh Posted January 31, 2018 #27 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I see she is headed for Sinagpore today. I wonder when the re-positioning cruises are. I think I'll go check that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare island lady Posted January 31, 2018 #28 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Thanks for that little history lesson. I've heard many people on here talk about those days. I love the Voyager class, can't wait to sail her, but at least I have a few cruises before then. Me too, and was happy to see sister Explorer come to PC, though only for one winter season a few years back. Great to take an unusual nine night on board and was hoping this would be a permanent third ship set up. But alas...did not happen. :( And yup, have six cruises booked before we board Mariner...should keep us busy also. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icsys Posted February 1, 2018 #29 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) As well as slides Cyclone and Typhoon, she will boast a virtual reality trampoline attraction called Sky Pad, a FlowRider surf simulator, several new restaurants and a new-to-Royal Caribbean Polynesian-themed bar The Bamboo Room . Other attractions being added during the dry dock include a glow-in-the-dark laser tag arena experience, located in Studio B, called "Battle for Planet Z" and a Puzzle Break: Escape the Room game. Jamie's Italian will replace Giovanni's Table) and Izumi Hibachi and Sushi will be added. Edited February 1, 2018 by icsys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuCruise Posted February 1, 2018 #37 Share Posted February 1, 2018 There is a cool picture on the main Royal page. We are deciding between Mariner cruise or a land vacation end of the summer before school, but the slides, trampoline, etc etc definitely gives the Mariner points.

STANMELB Posted February 1, 2018 #39 Share Posted February 1, 2018 That would be fantabulous John! Hope to see you there! Mariner was our very first cruise with RCI. I was celebrating the (gulp...am I that old? :o) half century birthday on that cruise. Will be celebrating my birthday again on board the Lady M...just "slightly older" ;p:p:') Hi Pat, Sandy's birthday is June 5th. Yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted February 1, 2018 #42 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I don't think they would remove the CL without putting in a Suite Lounge. That is what I meant. Hello Suites Lounge...goodbye CL...goodbye D+. On the deck plans for after April 2019 it still shows the CL on deck nine, where it was originally. Nothing that I could find on adding a Suites Lounge on the promo ad or on the deck plans as to showing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc2725 Posted February 1, 2018 #44 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Golden room? or dragons lair? [ATTACH]413831[/ATTACH] I don't see them removing Dragon's Lair. The ship needs some sort of night club (especially because it will be doing 3 day cruises, which tend to be more party oriented cruises) , and nothing else on the ship can serve as that except Dragon's Lair.

Milwaukee Eight Posted February 1, 2018 #45 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I don't think they would remove the CL without putting in a Suite Lounge. If you go to the link I posted, which was Royal’s and not CC, there is a photo and link for the addition of Suite Lounge. There is also similar for Diamond Lounge. No mention of CL in bars and Lounges. The Diamond is called the Diamond Club. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc2725 Posted February 1, 2018 #46 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Looking at the deck plans for after the refurbishment, it looks like Dragon's Lair and Connoisseur Club are still there.

Dragon's Lair was removed/modified greatly for the Asia market. I distinctly remember being very sad about this because to me that was the coolest nightclub space on a ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
