currently sitting in one of these cozy day beds

 

 

just strolled around to see if it was getting more crowded. After  all , it’s a sea day. 8:30 am. There are 6 people total in the entire Solarium, both levels. On my last Symphony sailing, I remember walking into the Solarium early, maybe 6 am or so - to snag one of these spots , and all of them were occupied. With people, towels or people under blankets , who likely just decided to sleep there in order to secure one 😆

wowwwwweeeee

$84 + gratuity? Probably best to purchase before boarding

Are they using the Wow bands yet?  I know they were not using them last week. 
thank you for the great review!  We sail in a couple of weeks.

No breakfast In the solarium bistro or el loco fresh. My usual “go to” spots. Hmmmm, Guess I will try the Jammer since I’m already prepped for pool lounging, so the MDR and Coastal are out. 
 

Here are a few photos of the suite sun deck

Wait El Loco Fresh isn't open for breakfast?  Darn thats a bummer as I love breakfast there.  None of us will go hungry though  LOL

Agreed! That was my spot! I’m going to try the windjammer and report back. I walked past there yesterday around 2 pm, and a crew member outside the entrance was literally trying to convince people to come in 😆

[niksmom630]

Anyone ever reserve one of these? Trying to find something to do in Cococay. Last time we were there we rented a cabana at the beach club, but since there are two of us, not a good value 🤑  even the  beach club passes are $170 per person. 

 

seems like it might be more enticing if the photo actually showed a beach bed, instead of this shot 🤦🏼‍♀️

I have never rented but here is a pic of the bed.

I just loath that weird mosaic art piece in Solarium...what a waste of space!

You mentioned that Solarium Bistro is not open for breakfast.  What about lunch and dinner?

According to the app, only open for dinner beginning at 5:30pm

[BecciBoo]

That was going to be our go to for boarding day lunch on Allure....hope they have it open!

Update on Windjamner…..not a great experience….but frankly the venue gives me anxiety on a good day 😬😩

 

there’s way to much confusion. Plates only in one station location. People walking from station to station, no lines anywhere.

 

one you sit down, all tables spaced at a good distance and servers everywhere to clean up and bring you beverages and coffee. In the main area, there was only one spot to get bacon, which was sort of easy to find because of the amount of people in that section.  😆 

 

tip….go all the way to the back after you enter, where they are still doing made to order omelets and eggs, they had a second bacon and breakfast meats section that was empty. 
 

also, could not find jelly/jam containers. They don’t have them anymore. There is a serving station spot where they will spoon jam on your plate. Weird. 
 

 

[zanydoc]

Totally agree! I avoid the windjammer at all costs and look for alternate breakfast wherever I can! BTW-thank you for your awesome review. How are you enjoying your suite? I’ve never had the opportunity to stay in a grand-

[niksmom630]

Thanks! We are really enjoying it. In a bad way 😈 might be hard to go back to anything less! 😆

We have never cared for the WJ set up on Oasis class ships.

As for the jelly/jam... I hope that is just a matter of not getting them resupplied yet.  It does not make a lot of sense to spoon them out.

A few CP photos. Always discover something new when I’m walking thru here

Crown and Anchor goodies. 
 

 

 

 

i don’t think we’ve ever eaten a single piece of this fruit on any cruise. I think I’ll note this one my survey. It’s a nice idea but I feel so wasteful when I don’t eat it. 😔 wish you could “opt out” someway

 

the cheese plate is always appreciated 🤩

You are always so great to take us along but especially NOW.  Hope you continue to have a great time!

Thanks Ms Wolf! 😎 casino royale has not been particularly good to me so far but it helps that there are $5 table minimums. Haven’t see that on an Oasis class sailing in a LONG time!

My husband would like to know the table minimums on Blackjack . Is this for Blackjack?
