ctousley819 Posted January 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Just curious is the ship will undergo any refurbishing/redecorating before transitioning over to Seattle/Alaska. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctousley819 Posted January 8, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I was wondering if they would have to de-asianize her. That's what I was wondering as well. I am looking at a July 2019 cruise on this ship and it would be a little weird to be sailing to Alaska with a Chinese theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted January 8, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I was wondering if they would have to de-asianize her. It seems to do just fine and heard no complaints when she sails Aussie itineraries. I don't believe she was modified as much as Quantum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonfamily Posted January 9, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Just curious is the ship will undergo any refurbishing/redecorating before transitioning over to Seattle/Alaska. Thanks! Just got off the beautiful ovation of the seas Jan 10 from Sydney. Nothing overly Asian. Chief Chef was Australian. Menu had Australian items and Italian type of choices. Signs onboard did have Chinese Characters below the English Words. Entertainers were from Australia. Fitness trainers were Australian and from New Zealand. Comedy acts from Sydney. Waitstaff and room stewards from India Indonesia Philippians etc... The staff onboard told me that when Ovation departs from an Asian city (Shanghai-Singapore) the ship brings on more Mandarin speaking staff , menu is more Asian themed, chief Entertainment staff speaks Mandarin as well as English to translate for the guests. The guest entertainers may be from Asia too. I would think the staff & menu gets a change over when it sails out of Seattle -Alaska to meet the guests expectations on the west coast. I have sailed on the giant Oasis of the Seas and the Ovation is smaller all over. The live acts on the Ovation is less impressive compared to RC Oasis of the Seas. The overall best in all categories imo is still the Disney Fantasy Cruise Ship. Cheers ! Sent from my iPhone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted January 9, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I was wondering if they would have to de-asianize her. I went on her very first sailing. Apart from signage being in both languages there really wasn’t anything very Asian about her I felt. She was beautiful! The elevator pictures are glamorous ladies instead of the funky animal shots you have on her two sisters.

No. Kung fu Panda Noodle thing was replaced by a fish and chips shop that's all and that happened ages ago. They might change be changing signage, though it's not really worth their while.

We are on her April 2020 for the transpacific. Glad to hear you speak English. Had a heck of a time understanding the Scotts, they think they speak English. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About $110.00 US. total per night. Any reason to not book the hotel. It looks like a great area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kung Fu Panda is not shown on the current deck plans either (unless I am just missing it, which is admittedly very possible). That's why I asked where it is, so I could see what the deck plan does show. I did just notice an unlabeled area with the restaurant icon on Deck 14 by the Splashaway Bay, though.
