That's what I thought. I was looking for pricing on the oceanviews in that same area but they are not showing up for the TA sailing. Possible they too have already been sold out?

 

That would surprise me. Didn't that release just a day or two ago?

Maybe they are still messing with it. 

Most of them hold 4 people, change your search parameter

Those are Spacious Panoramic Oceanview category and are under Oceanview.  Some are for 1 or 2 guests, and some are for 3 or 4 guests.  That might also limit what you see as available.

I have tried searching for rooms for 2 and for 3 guests since I know this sailing has a lot of cabins that won't allow you to book for just 2 people. I didn't have any luck when changing my search for 3 guests. Oh well. I'll keep looking. We have an aft balcony on deck 9 booked so my interest in the panoramic rooms was just for curiosity sake. Thank you both for your assistance.

I’m in for the ride

What's the current SL/CL/DL arrangement on Adventure?  I don't remember what this ship has and where the lounges are located.  We're considering the April '21 TA and trying to decide between a JS or a GS.  We have DL access and I'm wondering if it's worth paying more for the full suite upgrade.  Thanks.

DL and SL are on deck 14. No CL on the Adventure.

SL took over the old card/game rooms up in VIking Crown.  DL took over the old 19th Hole bar up in Viking Crown.

How long ago was the DL added. 😉😱

Sounds like the DL is nice then??  Not a fan of the windowless DL on deck 4 on Oasis Class (other than convenience before shows).  I'm guessing that any TA will be C&A top heavy and all lounges will be full (would be our first TA).  Sorry for the hijack John.  Figured I could trust your first hand report.

I believe the DL was added during the April 2014 refurbishment.

It's lovely, SL is nicer though.  They used VCL both weeks I was on.  Probably same on a TA

I'll try and continue tonight.

Life got in the way, and I'm running errands

Take your time, we’re not going anywhere.... hugs to B.😍

[HicksRA]

I’ve been wanting to try one of the Panoramic OV Suites but have had a hard time finding one I could book for 2 pax. Finally was able to book 1854 on Liberty but it’s not until 09/2021. That’s a long wait..

The DL has very nice views. Unfortunately, the outside seating area is closed off and now used as staging for the Rockwall. The previous staging area for the wall is now the outside seating area for the SL.

I would have done live, but Adventure VOOM is unreliable, sorry

 

 

I kept looking for a thread from you but was not finding it. I was wondering if you decided to take a break from ship board posting. I do understand the pain of Adventure's internet.

And here is what you get to look forward to. 30' of unobstructed view from above the peek a boo bridge. More on that later.

We sailed B2B on Adventure Dec 1 and Dec 7 doing a Western southern rotation.

 

We were in this gem of a suite for leg 1. 👍

Thanks for posting this.  I'm determined to get myself one of these at some point.  It was great meeting you and your wife week before last on Adventure.

Put in 4 people.  Not sure if it is on all sailings but I know on several you can only book them with 4, they won’t even allow 3 to book.

Forgot to ask earlier, when did you tell Laura about week 2

Laura knew, it was our/her friends that did not know. 

It was a nice surprise for all of them

[John&LaLa]

OK, CATS was fun, but lets get back to Deck 12 and this ridiculously unique suite.

 

 

[John&LaLa]

This is Deck 12 on Adventure. Many of the other Voyager decks are similar. 

Freedom however, has balcony cabins closer to the elevators.

I did an early Live on that ship in one of the balconies.

I'd provide a link, but I can't seem to search that far back. 

 

Our suite is the green one on the left (port if you like that kind of stuff)

 

This is the description Royal gives you.

A bit underwhelming if you ask me.

 

My old TA has this in the description

 

And here is the view from the Helipad

The bridge is Deck 10, so we are actually above the Gym

 

Either telephoto or cropped. I forget.

6 panels across, each 5' wide is the 30' I mentioned earlier.

Using that math, the std Panoramic OV's are 10' wide

 

And yes, you can see right through the windows😱

Now these suites used to just be big family cabins. 👨‍👩‍👦

And then one day, they decided they could make more money if they called them suites.💲💲💲

Luckily John booked it right before that change.

I just ran into it one day on the web site.

Now what is odd is the fact that it showed up over a year out with no restrictions on occupancy.

 

The price was good, I really don't need a balcony, and we had the bunk room setup on Freedom family suite 11+ years ago, so I knew it would make Laura happy.  Apparently I snore really loud, so separation is a bonus. Happy wife, Happy life.

 

The suite perks are nice, even though we really don't need them.  I'll go over that later as well
