Just curious for RCI enthusiasts

This is true.  At least now, with GREATLY reduced passenger numbers, not an issue.

 

It still seems so strange to me that Enchantment only has the one specialty restaurant.  (Chops).  They managed to shoe-horn in Izumi and Giovanni's on Grandeur.  (sticking to the twins theme)

...along with Chef's Table.

Radiance class ships introduced in 2000 also addressed the passenger load that enlarging Enchantment attained, so this also was part of the cost benefit that would not be realized with Grandeur.  And Radiance class also took the Vision class glass ideas to a much higher level, with outward facing views a key design point.  They also incorporated the port side glass elevators that faced outward, highlighting this concept.

 

It is interesting.  A friend of mine has cruised Grandeur a lot and Enchantment a few times.

 

She decided to try Allure.  But one of her main comments was, you could not see out and see the ocean for most of the ship.

 

On Grandeur, you can pretty much turn your head and see out a window and see the ocean from most public spaces.

That is rather accurate, IMO. We have sailed on Grandeur three times, commencing with her inaugural sailing in December '96, and have also been on Oasis class ships a number of times and the best ocean views are on the upper outside deck with Oasis class.  Whereas with Grandeur (as well as with the Radiance class ships), there are good outward views on some of the lower public decks you mention as well through the windows.
