39august Posted May 31, 2019 #376 Share Posted May 31, 2019 The CC newsletter received this AM only mentions that suites and verandas got new mattresses and new balcony furniture. Nothing else said about changes. Dare we hope that these suites escaped the Hoppen experience and that balcony cabins did not lose the over the bed storage? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reason the ship docked there and not #25 which it will be moved to for tomorrow? Perhaps for unloading things as you mentioned? This dock might have better access for the cranes and removal vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulh84 Posted May 31, 2019 #379 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Terminal 19 definitely has more room to work than 25. There are a few pictures on Instagram that show giant piles of the old furniture and items to be removed. It also looks like maybe Concierge and above have different balcony furniture than regular verandas. The photo isn't very clear but it seems like they differ in color. I think the blue hull looks amazing. It ties in with the blue on the upper deck windows and funnel and the orange lifeboat tops really pop. I know the colors on one Fort Lauderdale webcam are way over-saturated, but it does look more Edge-ish with the orange life boats back in place.

Rare keesar Posted May 31, 2019 #382 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Some cruisers are very naive expressing disappointment that the total renovation did not take place. For example, I point to removing half of the Sky Lounge to put in additional rooms. That area is one of the nicest areas on the S-class ships and I recall the spectacular views cruising toward the glaciers surrounded by mountains on each side in Alaska . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upwarduk Posted June 1, 2019 #383 Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) I have seen the new cabanas on Social Media. There appears to be less room and more of them which reduces the area on the lawn. I cannot imagine a family being comfortable in them as there appears to be little or no shade. I have attached some screen shots.

I have attached some screen shots. I’m thinking the opposite. The previous Reflection and Silhouette version of the alcove only sat 3 people comfortably. I think these actually will have more space to lounge. And the side panels move so you can adjust them with the sun. The Bimini tops on the alcoves was useless for shade unless the sun was directly overhead. You can tell from the first picture there is quite a bit of shade. And there are only 6 total which is the same number as on the other ships with them. I’d rather see these than the lawn completely empty during the day as it usually is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fogfog Posted June 1, 2019 #391 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I like the shape and that the sun screens move. They look smaller than the more linear cabanas on other S class ships If movies are playing all day--we wouldn't pay to be there... we'd want to quiet, breeze, shade, service etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
