Ovation is taking over the Trans Pacific sailings from the Explorer that sailed Seattle to Sydney south bound and returned after the Australian season Sydney to Seattle.

Now it will take a B2B2B booking to do the same trip, however because of the totally insane and idiotic Jones Act (US the only country in the world that wont allow passengers to embark and disembark at a different port within the US) the ship must go to Canada first before going to Seattle.

Piña Colada at the Ski Bar.

Question: Any 10 Drink Cards on offer? will be on board Navigator June 15.

These deck 12 cabins are my all time favorite and book up to two years in advance to obtain one, maybe the main reason you don't hear much about them is we (Who must not be named :')) like to keep a good thing close to our chest.

I did a 29 day B2B TP last year on the Explorer and will be on the Navigator in four weeks time.

My favorite of the cold soups

51 Days.

:cool::cool::cool:

On the Explorer last year did a 29 day B2B we had Lobster night in the MDR not only on every formal night but also a few nights in between, and when they offered the other main Prime Rib I ordered both and so having free Surf & Turf.

Yummmm!!!

To each his/her own, I would never lower my standers eating in the WJ especially seeing a guy exit the bathroom from doing a number two a walked out and into the WJ no washy washy picking up the serving utensils, and on another occasion seeing a lady reach over the food dragging her dirty sleeves over the food YUCK BIG TIME!!! MDR Always I paid good money for my cruise and like being served my meals at my table. 29 days on the Explorer last year and on the Navigator in seven weeks time.

I will always book on board the reason being I always book two years ahead I get a fantastic deal like a big discount + a big OBC ($550) and last time was also up graded to a JS at no extra cost.

I did the Sydney to Seattle some time ago and yes it is sad to see it go. While I loved the ship and the cruise (and any cruise is a good cruise) you can still do Sydney to Hawaii and Hawaii to Vancouver, on Radiance or Ovation. Also, the ports were not so great on the one Transpacific but it was probably at a cheaper price. I heard people from the US saying they did not think much of the small Pacific Islands and they are possibly right. They islanders are not wealthy by a long shot.

 

Doing the back to back cruise, one does the islands of Tahiti, which I prefer over Fiji etc. The ship also stops on the 4 big islands of Hawaii. Another good thing is that once the ship arrives in Vancouver, it goes on to do Alaska. Now that is a good b2b2b2b.

It is so sad that this year will be the end of the direct one voyage sailings Seattle to Sydney.

On the Explorer TP sailing last year Seattle to Sydney anybody that turned up for dinner in the MDR wearing shorts and or T-shirt’s were told to go change or eat at the Windjammer.

Last year on the Explorer in Seattle B2B with a TP the second leg they set up a scanner at the entrance of the Star Lounge we all scanned off the ship sat in the lounge was given out new cards drank tea or coffee with finger food when the ship has a zero count we all walked back through the entrance and scanned back on board and went to MDR for a yummy lunch with a free YES free glass of wine.

Hi Could you please tell me if Super Mario is still on board?

We’ll see you on board...we’re on the June 15th departure from Southampton as well!

Hello, all

 

Does anyone have any feedback on the Panoramic Oceanview cabins on deck 12 of Navigator? We snagged 1802...the one looking directly out over the bow for our Baltic cruise in June.

 

Seems like a very quiet area, being behind the spa and all. Anyone stayed in them? Love to hear your experiences.

 

Steve

About Formal Night dinning I have noticed cruising out of US and Australia the dress code seems to have gone BYE BYE but the ones that depart from the UK a lot of men are seen wearing tuxedos having a pre-dinner aperitif then after a very nice single malt.

You will love 1852. We've had it twice now. Captain's view, dead centre looking out over the bow. We loved watching every approach into port. Enjoy!!

Ovation, not Oasis. Fellow 2019 Explorer refugees.

I did a 29 day B2B last year on deck 12 I always kept my curtains open a night loved it, booked cabin 1852 Navigator June 15 Baltic out of Southampton.

All sailing in and out of Australia and New Zealand all indoor smoking not allowed, that was the case on last years transpacific crossing to Sydney on the Explorer.

Explorer is going to Singapore and Oasis is taking over. I was canceled off the Explorer on the Sydney - Seattle run for 2019.

Oasis 2019 is Sydney to Honolulu then cruising Hawaii finally arriving Vancouver BC.

Yes on the Explorer on the Transpacific crossing to Sydney a 10 beer card was offered but it was for only the draft beers, now ever much to our surprise when Newcastle Brown ran out they dug into the bottle stock. A BIG SHOUT OUT TO RCI.

My last cruise in September-October on a B2B my time dinning was on deck 3&4 deck 5 was exclusively used for the set dining timers.
