Couple of quick shots of Crown Lounge

 

 

Does the bar in Crown Lounge have stools?? And is it Diamond + and Pins, or are Diamonds welcomed during the evening hours??

At least there is an inch or so between those chairs.  The pictures I saw, wherever there were loungers, looked like they were all attached to each other.  No arm rests.  It's the only negative I see in all the videos I viewed.  When Oasis came out, I never thought a ship could top it.  Here it is!

Maybe have to get on and off at the foot of the lounger. From time to time I've had to do that with pool deck and solarium loungers.

It is only D+ and Pins and someone checked at the door. There were 2 stools and that was it. We were making comment about that and how incredibly small it is. 
Name change because, I am guessing here, diamonds are graduating to D+ and D+ sre graduating at alarming numbers. The world cruise will move many others into the next category, so I am looking for more changes.

Hear are pics of our OVB accessible room. Thanks Ken!  Just scan your card outside the door and it pops open.

 

 

 

 

View off the balcony from inside.  I haven't tried it yet but I saw another ride out on her wheelchair. 

 

We were left some treats!

Looking at the photos of the interior,I would say that Icon is some ship !

Design looks futuristic with some touches of Deco design ie- the sign for the Pearl Cafe.

@FromSea2ShiningSea That is a lovely cabin. Do you have an easy chair and a sofa?

The views will be fantastic!

@Ozark_Kid Post photos when you have time and some jokes too !

There is no easy chair or loveseat in that space.  Our room attendant was really nice.  She got an extra chair, an ottoman and a side table from a spare interior cabin and put them in that space for us.

I am so happy that I saw this and was able to get it fir you.  I know how much easier this cruise will be for you. Great looking room

For the Aquashow, get there early (we were just over an hour early) and there are a few prime seats.  Very comfortable wicker chapters with a table.

Seriously ?  The infinity pool isn’t even waist deep ?

[cruisinghawg]

A little entertainment in the Aquatheater earlier today.

[Ozark_Kid]

Random pics before going to sleep.  

1st drink Miami Vice because there was no peach daiquiri.  Glass seemed bigger. 

 

Coke cans smaller!

 

WJ dinner just wasn't the same but the grilled Lamb was good. 

 

You can get lost looking up at the slides.

 

I seem to notice these folks all around the ship.

One more thing.  Someone asked what happens when you push the wheelchair button at the elevator.   I didn't think it was doing anything the first couple times but then I figured it out.  You push it and then pick your deck.  It assigns an elevator.   When you go to that elevator there will be a soft bell melody playing.   That's about it.

Was there always room in the elevator for a chair?

Great show.  Thought we might see you in the music hall.  A couple of very drunk ladies were very entertaining.

We went in there to the upper level after the balloon drop but didn’t see you.  Maybe you were downstairs.  It was so loud in there.

Thanks for the pics those that are sailing. What is the deck space and deck chair availability around the pools? Thanks all.

Way easier said than done, I've tried it and people are very impatient when you try to be careful about doing it and not hitting anything or body or rolling over toes.  I am very considerate but they get annoyed anyway.  I usually go to manual and push her in and pull her out, saves time and the stink eye! LOL

Agree, mostly you go in forward and of course then you must back out and it’s obvious why so people are fairly patient about it.
