Leo_On_Geo Posted July 24, 2018 #301 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Looks like the stage and dance floor in the Living room are moved aft between the bar and the card room area?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riocca Posted July 24, 2018 #302 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Thanks for the photos from Twitter Riocca, all looks very good, will be interesting to see how those new settees work out in the Living room, I can foresee a few spills on those. It’s also a shame that Aqualina and Prime C has followed the trend on Journey with those 2top tables close to each other. Still, time will tell. Yes we’re not sure about the settees they look similar to the ones on Celebrity and we always find those awkward, but there’s plenty of other options. We had no problem with the two tops in Aqualina on Journey but then we didn’t like the previous arrangement as we felt lost with just two of us on a large table and didn’t like the seating. New Chef’s Table looks much better always hated the tall table and uncomfortable seats, however we’ll be giving the bench seating in Aqualina a miss.

norn iron Posted July 24, 2018 #306 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Pursuit ship visits in Belfast started today, and are running for three consecutive days. As LCV members we are visiting the ship on Thursday morning. The arranged pick up point is outside the Titanic hotel which is about a mile from where Pursuit is berthed. By chance this morning I had a business meeting in the Titanic hotel and noticed a flurry of activity with people registering and been given Azamara stickers to wear, with the dates 24-26th July. I had to be nosy and ask who, why, what, when, where etc It turned out to be guests of EY (Ernst and Young) in association with the Young Entrepreneur of the year.

Tomorrow, 25th July Pursuit is due in Douglas I.o.M so they will be taking her out on a shake down cruise later.

150edmiston Posted July 24, 2018 #308 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Thanks for posting these pics John. An invaluable insight over the last few weeks to see the ship stripped back and re-emerge the other side of the re-fit. We sail on Pursuit Feb next year in South America and these updates have really got us charged. Thanks again. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinnamon Posted July 24, 2018 #309 Share Posted July 24, 2018 My first thought about the chaises in Living Room, ‘what a lovely comfy place on a cool sea day’. But. Feet up? In shoes? On an off white fabric? Hmmm. How long will they look good. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lottie A Posted July 24, 2018 #310 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Yes, thanks for the continuing Twitter pix John. Must say that the big table in Prime C used for the Chef's Table and the chairs instead of stools look much more comfortable. I love the Living Room too but not keen on the Aqualina dark decor. It may be better in the flesh so can't wait to see it in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medeba Posted July 24, 2018 #313 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Thanks John for continuing to post the Twitter pics. Everything looks very sleek but I can't help thinking that a bit of colour injection here and there to offset the beige/brown palette might be nice. Just my thoughts so sorry if I've upset anyone!. Still think she looks great, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marinaro44 Posted July 24, 2018 #315 Share Posted July 24, 2018 The barrel chairs in the Living Room are a burgundy/maroon color, not brown, as are the throw pillows on the sofas.. Nice to see the piano in the middle of Spirits, not in the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lioncub Posted July 24, 2018 #319 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Thanks for the pics, she does look great! Not all good though. The tables for two in the speciality restaurants look too close together, a big turn off for us. Though, may have to find some friends for a change! Can anyone tell whether those pool deck sun beds are going to have cushions, or is that it? If so another big X from me.

Sent from my iPad using Forums They are the same as the sun beds that were added to Journey & Quest in the 2016 refit so I would assume they would have the same cushions. Here’s a picture from Journey’s first cruise after refit: On Journey in May we didn’t feel the tables in the specialities were that close especially compared with Crystal Symphony in January.

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted July 24, 2018 #321 Share Posted July 24, 2018 On Journey in May we didn’t feel the tables in the specialities were that close especially compared with Crystal Symphony in January. I agree – judging by the pictures there seems to be enough space for a thin person to get through, which is much more space than we have had on other ships. We like this arrangement because it offers just enough space to give you the choice of whether to engage your neighbors in conversation or maintain your privacy.

As a solo traveller, I feel sorry for any couple looking for romance that sits beside me at one of those two-top tables! Hahaha! Although that's the way I became pretty good friends with a NY couple I met onboard Wind Surf last year. She insisted I join them nightly after that. She just could not understand how anybody could choose to travel or eat alone. Bless her heart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoey Posted July 24, 2018 #323 Share Posted July 24, 2018 The ship looks incredible! I almost canceled my November cruise when all the stuff started with the new inclusive drink package a month or two ago. So glad I didn't. Too late now, it's past final payment so I was going one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She just could not understand how anybody could choose to travel or eat alone. Bless her heart! I'm not sure how to read your comment here. My husband and I will always step away from the social aspect of large tables and have a quiet romantic dinner once or twice during the cruise. We love that we can mix it up over the course of the cruise and can have both highly social and fun dinners as well as intimate ones for two. We don't care how close the tables are - the fact that we are at one for two indicates we are not particularly interested in socializing during that time. I don't know what I'd do if someone insisted on interrupting our dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
