Oh No, the suite lounge is GONE on Oasis?

[Why's_therum_always_gone]

So are the concierge in the new suite lounge? After looking at pictures, there does not seem to be a place for them in there.

Yes, the suite concierges are in the suite lounge.

There are two concierges in the Suites Lounge. They sit at a small desk (too small…built for one person but used by two) to the right of the entrance door. (We were told by the concierge that on the Allure they installed the desk to the left of the entrance door allowing more space.)

 

There is one concierge in the Diamond Lounge. He sits in at the desk were the two concierges used to sit when it was a Concierge Lounge.

 

ALSO:

Coastal Kitchen has its own entrance with a podium and hostess (but can also be accessed via the Suites Lounge. It serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. On boarding day the Suites Lounge provides a serve-yourself lunch (no boarding day lunch served in Coastal Kitchen)(they served a Coastal Kitchen lunch on July 11 but discontinued it).

 

The bar that was in the center of the Viking Crown is still there and services both the Suites Lounge and Coastal Kitchen. They serve complimentary beer, wine, and sodas from 11am-11pm as well complimentary mixed drinks from 5pm-8:30pm (pay-for drinks the rest of the time).

 

Chefs Table (now called Prime Table on menu) is between the concierge desk and the CK podium.

 

Now that the Crown & Anchor representative and Next Cruise representatives jobs have been separated, one of the 4 Next Cruise reps sets up a sales table in both the SL and the DL on a couple of nights (nice perk).

 

On one night, the Shopping Guide sets up a table in the SL.

 

The Suites Party is now held in the Suites Lounge and most of the upper level officers attend.

 

 

OPINION:

The new Suites Lounge, bar, and Coastal Kitchen space is stunning and offers fantastic views, great service, and good food. There is very little interaction between guests in this area unless you sit at the bar.

 

The Diamond Lounge (decks 11&12) seats a huge number of people because additional seating has been added downstairs and upstairs. The view from this area is still the Boardwalk but the windows need replacing. Because seasoned cruisers use this area (D, D+, PC) there is a lot of interaction between guests.

 

During our July 11/July 18 B2B we used all the above mentioned and found that they enhanced our cruising experience. The Harmony's deck plan has the Diamond Lounge on deck 4 in what is now The Comedy Club. It will be far small to hold all the D, D+, PC members.

We have 2 cruises booked on OA after she moves to Port C and have JSs on Deck 11 near the DL.
