I saw this little girl of about 8 blow past a very nervous male teen like it was nothing, all the way to the top. Half our balcony faced the ocean but the other half faced the boardwalk which was great for people-watching moments like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjmatty Posted September 5 #604 Share Posted September 5 And for those speculating that Deck 19 was too high and windy for a ropes course, here’s one on MSC Meraviglia also on one of the top decks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Plus package, you will get up to 2 ear plugs per day. The Premium package offers unlimited ear plugs. 😆 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoffa30 Posted September 6 #607 Share Posted September 6 Hope they’ve finished the dismantling by the TA or we’ll be asking for compensation. We’re in a penthouse suite and, like others have said, don’t fancy relaxing in the Sanctuary with people working overhead the whole cruise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FamilyAtSea.travel Posted September 12 #608 Share Posted September 12 Looks like the new name for Park 19 will be "SkyDeck Sports Court & Track". No further details that I see but I'm guessing that means it will just end up being basketball/pickleball + a track. https://cruisebusiness.com/index.php/news-section/more-news-category/10869-princess-announces-several-restaurant-changes-for-sun-princess --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the track is anything like the one on the Discovery Princess, I will love it. We were on in June and used the track many times. It is nice as at each end one can "observe" either the Sanctuary or the mid-ship pool deck. Music is played at a reasonable volume along the port and starboard sides of the track too. I didn't notice exercise stations like you see on the Royal class. There are slight curves as well to keep you on your toes. Finally, one day in while in port, using my GPS-based sport tracker, I logged 24 laps which resulted in a distance around 3 statute miles making each lap 1/8 of a statute mile. I did this because there were no signs indicating how many laps make a mile. Now we know. IIRC, this track is actually shorter than the Discovery's as it's posted as seven laps for a mile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esprit Posted September 14 #613 Share Posted September 14 Obviously with Park 29 closed off it was amazingly quiet up there walking around the deck. It had a few sun beds so would have been perfect to lounge in peace with the music playing in the background 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful what you wish for, Maybe they will be done and you can enjoy the pickle ball in that space, or maybe basketball. The noise from dismantling might be far less.

SCX22 Posted September 14 #615 Share Posted September 14 Based on photos of Park 19, the manufacturer of the installment was Walltopia. They are a very well known builder of rock walls, ropes courses, and active entertainment installations. Royal Caribbean used Walltopia an a recent build. They built The Crown's Edge on the recently released Icon of the Seas, which is supposed to be similar to Park19. https://walltopia.com/introducing-crowns-edge/ Park 19 photo below lifted from: https://www.cruisecritic.com/articles/photos-of-sun-princess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the article I posted, it sounds like Rollglider is a division of Walltopia. Only speculating. The ropes course was for sure built by Walltopia because of the logos on the beams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for the “too windy/not meant for cruise ships” theory that’s been tossed around here. The plot thickens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be that Walltopia has purchased Rollglider since they now reference rollglider on their web site. Another possibility is that have a business agreement that allows Walltopia to sell Rollerglider project. Rollglider also has their own web site and it states that they are part of Safety Engineering which is not mentioned on Walltopia. It certainly implies that Walltopia was the primary vendor and that it was all part of the same contract and installion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishing on a star Posted September 17 #624 Share Posted September 17 I hear that there is currently scaffolding and work on dismantling. At least the beginning? Could be some noise. Hope it is all done soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to take a while we think! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
