Wonder has cabins on 17 & 18 as well,

Yes you are correct. Although Icon has the deck 19 space above the suites as a suite deck. Still, I get the point that both of you and @Newcruiser215 have made that Oasis class appears to look bigger. It will be interesting to see them side by side.

Yes. She is undergoing her first full Coast Guard safety inspections. I did see pictures on FB of her starboard side lifeboats being lowered and tested.

Coast card is doing the boat drill there. If they put the life boats in the water they need todo both sides.

My daughter was treated to dinner in the supper club the other night. She said the price is going to be $250, she had originally said $200, but was corrected a bit later.  The food was good, she shared entrees with a friend, so was able to sample everything.  They were greeted with champagne, and that was free flowing thru dinner, but she's not sure if that was special for them.  Overall it was a good experience, but she said the Chef's Table we did on Wonder last fall was better tasting food-wise.  

 

Thanks to whoever shared the new years video, i was able to find her in the crowd.

when you check you you will be charged $36 so it is actually $236 total each.

Does anyone know if the Grand Suite has a curtain/separator between the King sleeping area and the sofabed/sitting area? It looks like there is one in the Infinite Grand Suite, but I can't tell if that's also the case for the Grand Suite. Thanks.

Interested to see how the elevator system pans out.  I tend to avoid elevators due to wait and hopping on an elevator that stops at every floor.

We use the same elevator system in the office building I work in. It actually does help with that morning rush.

I´ve seen those elevators on various new ships in the last view years. They do work out pretty well when you use them properly. But there are usually a lot of people entering the elevator and then being surprised that there are no buttons to push for their deck. 🤣 Sorry, but this elevator is now going to deck 9. You have to chose your deck outside on the tablet and then enter the cabin with the letter indicated on the tablet.
