Anyone else over the ''lawn'' and what should replace it.

Just got off X and am so over the lawn It was a good gimmick at first but it has worn off. The grass did not look great and a lot of it was roped off . Very few people were using it and it seems like a waste of space to me.I must say I kind of drew a blank on what would replace it , hope you guys have some good ideas.

No, still love the lawn. Just wish they’d have more events. Used to have wine and cheese with music but haven’t seen that in a while.

A private pool and bar area for the suites. Or a private pool area and loungers at extra cost for the chairs hogs.

I don’t really care as we usually sit on the balcony that we paid for. Don’t t see the fascination about laying around the pool when I can look out at the ocean.

The grass never was area that I utilized becasue there were too many other areas that were available.

Happy cruI sing 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I never considered it useful as anything but a gimmick. It was nice, but no big deal.

If they change it, it will be to create some kind of venue that they can charge you for - seems to be the trend.

Believe it will be some part of the Retreat for the suite guests.

I have enjoyed playing Bocce Ball several times, other than that, I have not used the space.

If it disappears, I will be just fine.

We have enjoyed bocce, an occasional croquet game and the wine & music events. But I think that area will become part of the Suites only Retreat area.

I like the lawn and find it soothing to sit and look out over it toward the ocean. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of taking what was once a public area and making it exclusive only to suite guests.

We play bocce several times each cruise and would miss the lawn if removed from the S Class ships. I wouldn’t miss the Hot Glass experience on the ships that have it. Would prefer changing to a food venue.

100% agree. I'm always surprised at how many people want to sit at the pool. You can't get a better seat than a balcony. And I know many are inside cabins and that I understand. But to leave my balcony, with room service to go to the pool..... Nope.

And back to topic. I wouldn't miss it at all. There is really nothing to draw me up there.

When you are at the pool you can jump in the pool, besides I like to people watch

We enjoy the lawn and usually sit up in that area rather than around the pool. I am not in favor of eliminating former public spaces for suite only spaces.

I agree. Also I note that Equinox is slated to have Alcoves added after its drydock.Here's hoping they're something better than the current edition on Reflection.

If you look at illustrations of EDGE you will see the rooftop garden. As ships are going in to be remade in the EDGE image, I would guess the lawn is being replaced by gardens.

Sorry to hear that. It’s the future of Celebrity.

Make the gardens big enough and they can save on food costs.

Would the pool not interfere with the buffet below? On the Edge this area is at the front.

Definitely agree. Lots going on to look at. Sorry but we would be a bit bored sitting on our balcony all day. Each to their own.

Rooftop garden decor with rooftop grill similar to EDGE would be lovely...useful day and night. .

lawn was inder utilized..and the cabanas up there blocked views!

love the lawn on the reflection and Silhouette Time to remove the glass show. IMO like watching a marathon of the English patient! sitting on hard benches! ugh lol

a suite guest only area would be great More like Royals newer ships or the NCL haven area

I am from the North, so I have seen enough brown dry grass with staff struggling to keep it green and healthly.....soooooo..I would love to see a herb garden with gravel pathway surrounding planting. (this way you can get down and personal with the plants!)

Add 'info cards' name, history and uses (cooking & traditional uses thru history).

Great if X would use herbs in their cooking. And also outstanding opportunity to be able to touch, smell and learn about the plantings.

I was drawn to Celebrity by the S Class and there is one feature that defines the class and makes it stand out from every other cruise ship at sea- the Lawn. I liked the innovative idea of it in photos but fell for it when I first experienced it on Silhouette. The Sunset Bar is my home on the S class and there I can sit and sip and look out at the sea over the grass without people in the way. I have enjoyed acoustic concerts at night on the grass, cool under the feet, with people lit by battery candles and an open view to the sky provided by that lawn space.

I've enjoyed the Officers vs Pax bocce ball tournaments on a sunny day.

I've seen a wedding taking place on the grass with the Captain officiating.

I've eaten at the Lawn Club Grill on Silhouette and Reflection and enjoyed the open air dining

with the lawn as an illuminated backdrop. There are only two ships at sea that can offer that to me. I'm a grass-hugger. Keep the uniqueness.

I see no need to remove the lawn and definitely not to replace with more suites benefits-I have only sailed as a Suite passenger on X so far and have no complaints whatsoever.

Edge class is almost here and that looks like another thinking outside of the box design exercise I am keen to try. The S class should stay as it is as should the M Class and thoughts of Edging the entire fleet seem a bit premature as the Edge hasn't even hit the water or shown itself to work under 24/7 use. Variety is the spice of life and 3 distinct X classes might appeal to a lot more people, while maintaining premium pricing for the new class as the ships roll out.

Yurts would be appropriate! but my guess would be a suite only area, like Cunard and other lines.

It might not necessarily be the pool, the retreat area could be several areas.

I would just like to see some deckplans of the ships being done soon. Would like to perhaps see where things are for booking purposes.
