Thank so much! Appreciate that info! We are sailing in November (week before thanksgiving), We have never done DCL. When we booked 12 was not available, still not available. Guess I will keep checking back..
I have stalked the concierge threads but I now I am more confused than ever! I hope you don't mind but I have a few of questions...
1. Was there any kind of breeze that comes in on 11 veranda?
Yes, if you stuck your head out of the opening, lol.
2. How is the natural lighting..( a friend said 11 seem to get more light, but due to the upper deck over hang on 12 it was not as sunny and she would have liked.) Any thoughts?
Lighting is fine. Like a greenhouse has good lighting.
3. I know 11 decks are just about 3 feet deeper than 12? Do they take this extra 3 feet out of the room space or is the room the same size?
Nah, I think the rooms themselves are pretty much the same size. If there is a difference, it's negligible.
4. Did the Concierge staff take as much interest as if you were on deck 12?
Oh, yes. Concierge staff is great, and they don't distinguish between Deck 11 guests and Deck 12.
5. It seems most people do not utilize the sundeck much, have you noticed that?
We did not use it.
6. We are booked in a V, Are there Concierge perks that we would not get as opposed to booking a T?
Only one I am aware of is that you cannot order from the MDR to your room.
7. Concierge that we have done on other lines are not confined like DCL, I am worried my DD (10)
will feel uncomfortable
with being surrounded by adult only areas? Does there seem to be other kids in concierge lounge & sun deck? I know we will need to go down to deck 10 and go across to lobby to the elevators and go up to stay out of the quiet cove. She is a very well behaved child ( I am so blessed)
Not sure what you mean, but there are no adults-only areas in Concierge. It's all family in the lounge and concierge receptions. Adults only is the minority. There will be plenty of kids!
8. DD is also a competitive swimmer. Is there anywhere on board she can swim laps? Her routine is generally 5:30 - 7:30 a.m. daily. If she can't swim laps is there a possibility they would allow her to use the treadmill in the workout area?
As far as I know, there is no place really to do lap swimming, and I do not think they make exceptions for those under 18 to use the fitness center, sorry. Best to ask the concierge when you get onboard as to her best options.
Okay so more than a few questions.
Any information would be extremely appreciated! Thanks in advance.
