It is impossible to please everyone. I rather have a huge solarium with views like Wonder than a small Viking Crown.

Well, I guess they could name it the “Viking Crown Solarium”….  It does look like a crown on top of the bridge.

Atrium sounds good Lloyd ,how about a lounge with a good ocean view?

Deck 5 & 6 areas by the small starboard window appears to have a lounge.

The deck 6 area by the large port side window appears to have a lounge. Deck 7 & 8 area above the lounge is open to the lounge below creating an atrium.

The Pearl is within that atrium, with the top of it poking up into deck 8 behind glass, closing it off from the open air Central Park.

am I the only one who is sort of disappointed that the solarium is being merged with an entertainment venue? I am worried that they have compromised the relaxing atmosphere of the space with infrastructure for performances.

 

Yes

No, you're not.  I hope it ends up being a good idea.

Seems like a great multi purpose venue😁

 

Ships are evolving, I like it.

I suspect RCI has learned that the Aqua Theater on the Oasis-class is a very inefficient use of extremely valuable open deck space. Think about it... the aft deck/pool space on Oasis-class is only utilized for a few hours on any cruise when the shows are performed. The rest of the time, it's a huge and under-utilized space. 

I think the Icon's Aqua Dome will solve this problem by making the Aqua Theater / Solarium a multi-use space that can be utilized all day and night even when the diving show is not happening.

Was just on an oasis class ship and I completely agree with this. As an adult i found the boardwalk to be a completely useless area except for seeing the aquatheater show, I have no use for a merrry-go-round and johnny rockets is probably one of the worst food venues on the ship. I really hope they do more with the boardwalk area on icon.

IMO Playmakers is a nice addition to the boardwalk on Wonder.

And Oasis, Symphony, and one day Allure.

 

But I really like the massive one on Indy

It also gets use for concerts, movies, sports events, etc..

If they sell cabins on the first transAtlantic, we're going. Two questions:

1. Will it be as smooth as a normal transAtlantic?

2. If I don't want direct sunlight, should I be on the starboard side or port side?

 

New ships are never smooth😉
