You can see the tiered areas on the sides of the Pool Bar in the pictures posted above. Yes, they were reserved for suite guests when we were on last month and yes, there are a lot of empty chairs most of the time. It seems like a good idea, but you can't get any shade and can't get to the water without walking down the steps and over to the pool.

We got of LOS last Saturday :-( and there were 3 different designs to chose from. One was sort of a white, sparkly pattern with blue swirls running through it. They were all some sort of red, white & blue combination. The lids were different than when we sailed last November. The new ones are domed instead of flat across the top (if that makes any sense).

Just off LOS (9/20 - 9/27)....yes, the Flowrider is open when you board. We were onboard before noon and a few people were already on it. We watched for a while and yes, the lines were the shortest this day. Definintely have your kids bring their suits and give it a whirl. It is awesome!
