serialcruiser48 Posted May 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I love the Oasis of the Seas and I've been cruising on it for the last 3 weeks. One of its main features I've enjoyed as a diamond, diamond plus and now Pinnacle is the beautiful diamond club on deck 11. When it goes into refurb the diamond club will relocated on deck 4.

Rare OCSC Mike Posted May 25, 2019 #4 Share Posted May 25, 2019 You're definitely not alone. Will be missing that view while enjoying my many cappuccinos and cocktails in the basement DL on Harmony in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzerci Posted May 25, 2019 #5 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Thought about that as we got drinks there last night. I think we all saw it coming after Harmony and Symphony and the original plans for Wonderland there. Still stinks to see it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LorraineP Posted May 25, 2019 #6 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Wondering what RCL loyalty will take away from Diamond Plus next? Little by little making it less likely to remain loyal. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted May 25, 2019 #8 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I could never figure out why there was such distortion in the windows. FWIW, the view is going to change with the addition of the Abyss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True about the Junior suites, I forgot those were your favourite. group pricing is net of the promotions so the fares are identical for guests 1 and 2 with no promotional discounts applied so you get the full balcony discount. It works out really well for D+ with 340 points travelling solo. Edited May 25, 2019 by Ourusualbeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the new itineraries released starting in May 2021 there are a few ships that do have group rates for JS (Oasis and Allure are the 2 that I found).

Just looked back on some old bookings and saw we had a group rate on a Jewel transatlantic back in Nov 2017. One of the best prices we ever had for a transatlantic, JS was $1259pp (before taxes) for 13-nights, and from that they gave us $350 off for the balcony discount. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted May 25, 2019 #20 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Actually the DL on deck 11 was formerly the CL (and one of the best CLs in the fleet! 🙂 ) and the original very small DL was down over the Promenade with cocktails served in Blaze during happy hour. D+ invited in CL on deck 11 the with suites as usual. Then of course that changed when they added the SL on 17 and replaced the CL with the larger (and much needed extra space) DL. Knew that was only temporary with that nice roomy lounge 😞 . Still not sure if Wonderland is going in there? LA on board last cruise was not sure either...but rumor was it was not going in due to lack of real attendance on ships that have it. Anyone know for sure what is going in there?

LXA350 Posted May 25, 2019 #25 Share Posted May 25, 2019 If it isn't Wonderland, which would be very suprising it might be a new concept Restaurant possibly. Also, it would be great if they will keep Giovanni's and not replace it with Jamie's 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
