tiger97 Posted September 17, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Hi Everyone, we are due to sail on Voyager next year, and was contacted by Royal Caribbean today to let us know that our room will no longer be able to accommodate 3 guests. It was on Deck 8, a spacious balcony stateroom. Has anyone else had a similar message? They are offering us deck 6, or at the very rear on deck 10. I have a feeling they might be turning the room into a twin? They said compensation will not be offered to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 17, 2019 #2 Share Posted September 17, 2019 This has been reported for other ships when the stateroom occupancy has been changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger97 Posted September 17, 2019 Author #3 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Thanks Bob. I'm guessing the room will still have a sofa in it? And if so, then why not a sofa bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted September 17, 2019 #4 Share Posted September 17, 2019 As far as I know, all Voyager staterooms have a sofa, except for some that have a connecting door and don't have the space for a sofa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Big_M Posted September 17, 2019 #5 Share Posted September 17, 2019 They're adding a large number of rooms right now, and given the increase in occupancy last revamp (~500), I actually can't imagine they can take the full additional capacity this time around, as it would total almost 1000 since she was built. Therefore, I suspect they need to reduce the 3/4 places slightly. This would explain the change to you. They could keep the furnishings, but just can't hold so many people in those cabins.

Are they really adding that many cabins again, thought they added already almost the maximum during last drydock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseKeeper Posted September 17, 2019 #8 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) I know they eliminated the concierge lounge on deck 9 along with the service areas behind it and are replacing it with 4 cabins. I heard this from the hotel director at a party celebrating the change happening on Voyager. There was cake, champagne and a little destroying of parts of the CL. It was a fun gathering which included hard hats, safety glasses and sledge hammers. I should add they didn’t eliminate the concierge lounge, it is being moved to the Viking Crown area.

Yes, if they follow what has been done to other Voyager/Freedom class ships, there will still be a large section of Viking Crown open to all guests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasp 0401 Posted September 18, 2019 #13 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Yes the Concierge lounge is moving into the Diamond Lounge and will be called the Suite Lounge. The Diamond Lounge is being moved to deck 5 into the Golden Room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as many as last time. 73 new cabins, so about 150 extra pax this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Timber Posted September 19, 2019 #19 Share Posted September 19, 2019 The deck plan in place after the dry dock still shows the concierge lounge in its original location. There is now a suite lounge and a diamond lounge in the locations indicated in the above comments. It looks as though there might be 3 special lounges in the new configuration.

I personally used a sledge hammer in the Concierge lounge on deck 9 on the last night of our cruise. I can assure you, that lounge is outta here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks! The RCCL website. Click on "ships" and bottom of page click on "deck plans" and go to Voyager of the Seas. There will be two sets of deck plans. One for the period 8-9-19/10-20-19 and another for 10-21-19/4-25-21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'll just wait until my November cruise and ask the concierge myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
