71Corvette Posted November 17, 2016 Author #176 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Could you please post your balcony category (D2,D3 etc.) and cabin number. I have a balcony booked on the "hump" and didn't know it had two chairs and a couch. I am in 6616. My apologies, I was mistyped. We has a JS on the hump not a regular balcony cabin. That's why there are the extra chairs in that picture. It was 8 years ago. That's my excuse! Lol :) I'll edit my original post if it'll let me Edited November 17, 2016 by 71Corvette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curcurt Posted November 17, 2016 #177 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Do you see or hear any active work on the unfinished projects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpshaye Posted November 18, 2016 #178 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Thanks for the info! Can anyone verify what specialty (pay) restaurants are currently available? Pretty bummed that Chops won't be available for our cruise at the end of January.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dp203 Posted November 18, 2016 #179 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Do you see or hear any active work on the unfinished projects? We haven't heard anything though we have an aft room so we are pretty far removed. We haven't seen any signs of active projects around the ship.

dp203 Posted November 18, 2016 #181 Share Posted November 18, 2016 do you know if the cigar bar is still there? I have not seen (or smelled) a cigar bar or any reference to it on the directories. The smoking sections in the compass are listed as the casino, outer deck on 4 (port side), and pool deck (port side). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarea Posted November 18, 2016 #182 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I have not seen (or smelled) a cigar bar or any reference to it on the directories. The smoking sections in the compass are listed as the casino, outer deck on 4 (port side), and pool deck (port side). The cigar lounge used to be on deck 5, forward, just before you enter the Imperial Lounge, on the starboard side. The deck plan now says "Card Room / Library", but it's not known if this change was completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoGurl Posted November 18, 2016 #183 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I am certainly not questioning OP on their cabin category/pix....but if I had just been shown the pix and told to guess what cabin category I would have guessed the top pix to be a JS rather than a "balcony". (at least from the limited number of cabins we have seen[emoji3]) I was gonna say the same thing. I'm Guessing that is a suite, not a balcony room.

maryjaden Posted November 18, 2016 #184 Share Posted November 18, 2016 The room refurbs are supposed to be complete by the end of first quarter. The moving and changing over of the Suite Lounge is on indefinite hold. I be the mattresses have been replaced. Ours is quite comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarea Posted November 18, 2016 #186 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Isn't that where Izumi was supposed to go?? I thought I read that Izumi was going to be on the Royal Promenade, in place of the Sports Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted November 18, 2016 #187 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) I thought I read that Izumi was going to be on the Royal Promenade, in place of the Sports Bar. No! my first trip back in awhile to a Voyager class ship occurs during the NFL draft and Hockey playoffs.

Clarea Posted November 18, 2016 #188 Share Posted November 18, 2016 No! my first trip back in awhile to a Voyager class ship occurs during the NFL draft and Hockey playoffs. I'm pretty sure the installation of Izumi has been postponed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voyager70 Posted November 18, 2016 #189 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I read that Izumi has been cancelled altogether. Curious to know about the Connoisseur Club. That's one of my fave places during the evening. Deck plans show it as gone but they also show the Suite Lounge and we know that has not been done yet.

dp203 Posted November 18, 2016 #190 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Sorry for all the fans of the cigar lounge but I checked it out today and it is gone. The card/game room is open. I will upload pictures later tonight. Also, today I noticed them bringing additional carpets on board and adding new carpets to some of the stores/public areas.

CruiseCheapsk8 Posted November 18, 2016 #191 Share Posted November 18, 2016 No! my first trip back in awhile to a Voyager class ship occurs during the NFL draft and Hockey playoffs. No need to fear. Our Sports Bar has stayed in place! Izumi, as has been mentioned, has been cancelled altogether. Maybe not great for Royal, but definitely great for us sports fans!

floatel_lvr Posted November 19, 2016 #195 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Great... so two library / game rooms and no cigar lounge. That makes a lot of sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catspaws65 Posted November 19, 2016 #196 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I was to have a cabin on new deck 12 those cabins are no longer part of the upgrade at this time We were forced into other compatible rooms, the water park will be done by Dec 10th so if you had a cabin on deck 12 better call RC quickly I am now on a lower Deck.

khm1 Posted November 19, 2016 #197 Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) Great... so two library / game rooms and no cigar lounge. That makes a lot of sense... They are turning the old card room on deck 14 into a suite lounge. It was just delayed due to the hurricane. It is to be ready "early 2017" whatever that means.

dp203 Posted November 19, 2016 #198 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Attached are the last of the photos that I took around the ship. We thought the ship was in great shape overall. The color scheme in the cabins/hallways is definitely outdated and a little musty but that didn't stop us from having a fabulous time. We sailed this cruise mostly for the ports, which were great. We were lucky to have mostly sunny weather and maximized each day off the ship. Let me know if you have any questions. Bon voyage to the next group of cruisers! Main dining room definitely looks like it has new carpets/chairs.

It is to be ready "early 2017" whatever that means. That's also a bummer. That was a nice public space to hang out with a nice view of the pool deck. I'm glad that the complete refurbish was not done, and I feel I will like this ship a lot less once it's finished. Oh well.
