Bkchero Posted December 5, 2017 #226 Share Posted December 5, 2017 In case anyone is wondering I believe the ship next to Harmony is the Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line’s Grand Celebration, which normally sails from West Palm Beach to Grand Bahama. FEMA chartered it to assist with hurricane cleanup. I think it returns to WPB on December 23. https://www.bahamasparadisecruise.com/charter-fema.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I was wondering what that orange whale tail was. I assumed it was a sold off Carnival ship but had never seen it before. Thanks again. dp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted December 5, 2017 #228 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Is there a train running or are the tracks just for decoration? The train tracks aren’t connect in the ginger house village, so if there is a train running it’s gonna go off the tracks. Just waiting to see if this review gets LITT enough to do the same thing.

Bkchero Posted December 5, 2017 #229 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Thanks. In fact I was wondering what that orange whale tail was. I assumed it was a sold off Carnival ship but had never seen it before. Thanks again. dp Your assumption was correct. Was the Carnival Celebration from 1987-2008 according to Wikipedia. Went through a charter and was almost transferred to Costa before landing where it is now. What I notice the most when I see ships like that next to any Oasis ship is the size difference. I have a pic of the Carnival Conquest and Harmony next to each other in Port Everglades and the contrast is pretty amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh cool the Celebration was my first ever cruise experience in 94 I believe. So much fun!

The crew is using the time to make repairs (grinding and welding) and pressure washing the decks and hull.

paulh84 Posted December 5, 2017 #232 Share Posted December 5, 2017 We’re on Harmony this week as well. Have you tried the new elevator system? I’m not seeing much of an improvement, maybe a little but it’s hard to tell. Except for the people who get on the wrong elevator Sent from my iPhone using Forums One of my office buildings and our condo use similar systems. The condo doesn't have enough traffic to see a noticeable impact, but at the office the difference in traffic flow is really quite amazing. I could see it being very beneficial on a ship when it's fully implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruatha65 Posted December 6, 2017 #240 Share Posted December 6, 2017 The young lady in the picture is Rachel, if memory serves me. She was our snorkeling guide this past Thanksgiving on our Harmony cruise, and she's fantastic. I doubt she gave you her real number, especially judging from the look she's wearing in the picture. I also believe she is already spoken for, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruiseLifeRick Posted December 6, 2017 Author #242 Share Posted December 6, 2017 There were no real updates from last night. After the long day in St. Thomas, we opted to catch the iSkate ice show in Studio B, which was very good. We then grabbed dinner in the MDR. I didn’t take any pictures from dinner but I had the crab cake and Thai chicken breast, both of which I enjoyed. I had plans of attending the Love and Marriage Game Show, but my exhaustion got the best of me and I turned in early. I needed at least one full night of sleep this week and with no real parties happening last night the FOMO wasn’t an issue. We did get a bus picture in before heading to bed.

Hopefully, you see some of my pictures popping up on their website and other marketing materials. [emoji6] Another shot of Rachel looking much happier!

Rare A&L_Ont Posted December 6, 2017 #247 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Rick, some of the pics are sadly not coming through. I’d assume me they are ones of you and Rachel, right?
