While a nice location for the CL, it would make more sense for cabins back there - of course the question then is, where do they put the CL/SL?

I thought Adventure or Indy had trampolines added. Enchantment doesn't have VR tech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun2snorkel Posted November 15, 2018 #230 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I believe the Enchantment is the only ship with a trampoline. And it is fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what it is...too costly to add, too costly to staff or lines to long? I'd love to know, but those who have done the Skypad seem to enjoy it. Skypad is a one time thing - pople do it 1 time and most likely never again..... Staffing cost is very high - they need 5 people to operate and the place is always deserted as people will only do it once ...not again and again like a climb, skate or slide..... Skypad is the second entertainment flop after the Abyss slide! Edited November 15, 2018 by Thorben-Hendrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am happy if they add no more of them to other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBE4 Posted November 15, 2018 #234 Share Posted November 15, 2018 If I read this correctly, there are 6 more ships that will be amp-up with the Skypad. Any chance it will be pulled? http://www.royalcaribbeanincentives.com/content/uploads/2018-2019-Fleet_Guide.pdf Perhaps as word gets around, more people will use it?

Well that flyer would make you think Navigator is getting a SkyPad during her upcoming dry dock, but she is not. Based on the date at the bottom, that flyer was made just before the first ship emerged from a Royal Amplified dry dock, before Royal would have had time to analyze feedback. We all seem to assume this means the SkyPad was a failure, but it could also be that Royal just wants to create variety between ships. Or it could very well have been a failure and the SkyPad won't be added to any other ships. We'll have to wait and see.

Yes - it is NOTHING like a regular trampoline - it is more of a cinema ride... where the chair moves like the 3D movie.....how many time will you see that 3 minute movie?🤔 The fun is gone once you know what happens next! The trampoline is just so the robotic bungee-crane has somthing to drop you in and pull you from....

Fun2snorkel Posted November 15, 2018 #239 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Thanks for the info John. I had not heard of the skypad! I loved the trampoline sailing out of a port! Haven’t done it since the ship left Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you aren't a 7-10 year old, they do the same stuff over and over again. 😉 Also, aren't there a couple of different story lines? I'd like to think they could easily purchase more scenarios from the vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be enough of a difference that it may intrigue guests to sail on both ships to experience the full array of offerings. I feel this way sometimes about ships within the same class - if I experience Oasis there isn’t anything on Allure that would be any different. But if you put different attractions on each, it keeps the experience fresh within the same class of ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
se817396 Posted December 11, 2018 #247 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Several people have asked about Explorer of the Seas drydock. I have the 9 Night Southern Caribbean Sailing booked for 3/20/20. When I log into RCCL.com my reservation now shows "20 Day Dry Dock Cruise" from 3/20/20 to 4/9/20. So it looks like I'll be getting a call from the redeployment team soon. :( Was really looking forward to this 9 night cruise but hopefully we will find another option.

Desert Cruizers Posted December 11, 2018 #248 Share Posted December 11, 2018 se8117396, daughter & I are on the March 1 & 8 2020 freedom Southern Caribbean out of San Juan. The March 1st sailing gives us 2 extra ports ( 5 ) not counting San Juan our start & end port. because there is only 1 sea day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any slides, skypad, nor many cabins to be added to Quantum class. Hi Biker ☺️ Since Dynamic Dining is long gone, I'm curious if anything will be transformed concerning the four main dining rooms; American Icon, Silk, Chic & Grande dining rooms. They were only designed for that particular purpose. ➖ I'd like to see the Grande MDR (deck 3 Port side) and the Silk MDR (deck 4 port side) turned into one huge two level main dining room. ➖ I'd like to see the Chic MDR (deck 3 starboard side) and American Icon MDR (deck 4 starboard side) turned into one huge two level main dining room. Too costly? Too much of a long shot? Possible? What-cha think? ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
