Organized Chaos Posted May 15, 2020 #2 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Yeah, it was in dry dock from 3/2 - 3/25. According to goccl.com, here's a list of what they did in dry dock: Routine hotel maintenance Cosmetic enhancements in lounges and public areas such as new carpeting, wall coverings and tile work in lounges and public areas Bonsai Sushi Express added to Deck 9 Dreams Studio replaced Special Occasions on Deck 9 JavaBlue Cafe replaced the Musical Cafe on Deck 9 Cherry on Top added to Deck 9 Limelight Lounge replaced Jekyll & Hyde Dance Club on Deck 9 Alchemy Bar replaced Gatsby's Great Bar on Deck 9 30 new cabins replaced the Cole Porter Club Lounge on Deck 9 We'll be on the Elation in January. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRVEGAS711 Posted May 15, 2020 #3 Share Posted May 15, 2020 So the answer to that question would be no. They added sushi to the lido deck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said "yeah" because yes, it was in dry dock in March. I thought it would be more helpful to list what was done in dry dock than to simply post, "no specialty restaurant." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProgRockCruiser Posted May 18, 2020 #5 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hmm, I wasn't aware the Elation had some "upgrades" (well, "changes", IMHO). We sailed on her last May (2019). Geez, has it been a year already? While Gatsby's Great Bar didn't have the same menu as Alchemy, it was a nice change of pace, and frankly was a nice place to grab a drink every night. But it was often pretty quiet, so I can understand why it was "upgraded". A couple of nights my wife and I were the only ones there for large stretches of time. Putting more cabins into where the Cole Porter lounge was located is understandable - CCL always wants to add more paying pax - but I liked that lounge for comedy, and having Gatsby's right behind it was a nice place to hang out before/afterwards. I'm not sure the space formerly occupied by Jekyll & Hyde is any more than what the Cole Porter lounge offered, seems to me J&H was smaller, so that might be a bit of a downgrade. OTOH, J&H wasn't in use every night, from what I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
