Rare John&LaLa Posted December 21, 2019 Author #129 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Suite Lounge Recap. I know, 11 pics, sorry... SL is up in the VCL. It was added in the last drydock and was carved out of the old card rooms Doors on the left have a horrible key card access. The door swings out, so you have to swipe and step back. They really should move it. Also, half the time it seemed like this lock was broken, so just pull if it does not open automatically The door on the right is much better Empty here in the morning, but it rarely fills up It's naturally segregated it seems. Pins close to bar, Suites further away You can't make this stuff up🤣 The coffee bar, breakfast buffet, and app station Coffee is not available 24/7 And it's not open at all on turn around morning It is a very nice perk, though Coincidence, who knows. Maybe it was a gift The venue is open 24 hours, but the Concierge is only there twice a day Evening hours coincide with Happy Hour We played a lot of rummy in the late afternoon Pay no attention to the name tag. This is definitely all about the suite life Outdoor seating is nice The outdoor area used to be the staging area for the rock wall The area was relocated to the former outdoor part of the DL Good for some, not so much for others😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted December 21, 2019 Author #130 Share Posted December 21, 2019 This deck gives new meaning to the Peek a Boo Bridge The view from Deck 11 If you can see them.... They can see you😉 Towel clips are a good thing😎 This is the smudge in the glass from earlier There is no schedule to fix it Pretty sure it's fairly complicated, and you would need time to remove and replace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted December 21, 2019 Author #131 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Random wide angel shots taken with my real camera Apparently the sheers were pulled, oops I spun the TV to optimize the view😉 Laura has an Advent Calendar that starts December 1 and counts down Christmas.🎄 Smarties and Truffles 🤣 It hung fine with a small magnet, which I have since lost 😥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall-Cruiser Posted December 21, 2019 #132 Share Posted December 21, 2019 John - Great photos and that panoramic suite you had looks amazing with those views.

Rare John&LaLa Posted December 21, 2019 Author #133 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Well, that's about it. If this had been a Live, I could have answered questions, added food porn, blathered on about activities, etc.. I have a ton of pics left, but they are about the following week in our next door Promenade view cabins Lots of stir fry pics😁 Christmas decorations Curacao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torpeedo Posted December 21, 2019 #135 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Did you enjoy the Suite Pinnacle party in Giovanni's? I thought it was one of the best we've every attended. The Suite Lounge needs those roll up and roll down curtains like the Oasis class ships have for the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare John&LaLa Posted December 22, 2019 Author #140 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Turn around day pics One of the fun thing about turn around day is the ability to snoop a bit. I was able to get a few pics of the other three types of cabins on Deck 12 that morning. Keep in mind, I was walking down the port hallway, if you will be on the starboard side, just look for the mirror image on the deck plan 1864 - big but no suite (the starboard one is designated accessible) I think they have 5 window panes, not quite a forward view, no half bath, no bunk room, and no suite privileges I'm sure they are quite comfortable for 4 people 1860 - the forward cabin layout plus a pole Who doesn't love a giant pole in the middle of their cabin 188? - the aft cabins with sitting area (aft of the new section only) Now this is living for two people. Nice viewing area in lieu of the balconies on Freedom, see below Now the deck plans say both of these cabins are 191 sqft. I don't think that's true You can see it when you walk the hallway. There is a jog of 2-3 feet somewhere around 1874 It is well marked on the Freedom plan. It also lists the OV's at 175 sqft😉 I probably would have measured that if I was doing a live report. 6660 - Accessible spacious balcony Included just because it was across the hall from my next cabin Edited December 22, 2019 by John&LaLa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suite party was nicer the first week than the second. I ate a lot of sushi rolls The filet and lamb chops were just to well done for my tastes. Plus they had chocolate macaroons the first week The blue thing is a margarita. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
