Self Service Soda Machines were also added (he put that in the comments).

 

All bathrooms have an automatic nightlight as well. 

 

Sad the thrill theater was removed, I enjoyed that on Horizon, wonder if they will remove it eventually from that ship.

How common are those soda machines across the fleet?

 

I'll be going on the Celebration in April and heard the Excel class has them, but don't know how true that is.

 

Would like to try it out though if it is. If I'm paying more than a $2 for a soda, I don't want a can lol.

Pretty sure it's just Excel class and Vista now at this point.

My guess is the Thrill Theater is as good as gone - the nonsmoking casino brings in much more revenue obviously.

Love, love, love that there is a non-smoking casino !!!

It's actually the arcade that is kicking out the Thrill Theater - Club O2 was in the spot where the non-smoking casino was put in. Club O2 moved to the former arcade location, and the arcade moved to where the Thrill Theater was. Club O2 is actually getting a considerable downgrade in terms of space.

 

I'm actually a tad surprised the library survived on Vista - that seems like a natural location for the arcade, given how many other ships have it near the atrium. There are dedicated venues for the Chef's Table and Art Gallery so it's not like they are using the Library for those events.

I was hoping they would rearrange the restaurants on deck 5 and add the Teppanyaki.  That is the only reason I prefer Horizon or Panorama over Vista.
