John, thanks to you, I've had the Magical Mr Mistofoles song running through my head all day, and I didn't even hear the song being played!

 

Seriously, I'm enjoying your summary of the show. Thanks for making it such a major part of your list of favorites! Brings back great "memories" for me! Yes, that song has been in my head today, too, when Mr Mistofoles wasn't already there!

 

Mine was Grizabella: The Glamour Cat and then Skimbleshanks: The Railway Cat

 

We have an Andrew Lloyd Webber CD and Mistofoles is on it.  The kids liked it when they were little.

 

I actually miss the old Theater shows that would do highlights from several musicals.

Don't Cry for Me Argentina

Sunrise, Sunset

Memory

The Music of the Night

Etc....

thanks for all the great info......

It's a little disturbing that you know so much about this show😀 Just kidding!  I really enjoyed your pictures and explanation of the show. I can tell you really love it, at least most of it. I know you have a dog but do you have any cats?

I used Google to fill in some details. 😉

 

We're not cat people, Laura and our youngest are both allergic.  

 

Here is Bella back from the groomers.

John - Tried posting this earlier but don't think it went through.  Every time you post a picture of Bella, I think of Modern Family and Stella

 

We're currently dog sitting a Maltipoo that looks a little like Bella

Thanks to the groomer, Bella has that "my parents just went on a cruise" look! 🙂

They refused that on Adventure.  GS and above only, regardless of C&A level.

 

Available in a JS on the Harmony in Jan.

Just an observation,  they no longer keep Chef's Table set up for dinner during the day.  Yaser said they were losing to many of the crystal glasses. 😱

 

People were eating buffet there on boarding day

 

 

 

I am surprised Chef Table has not moved to the Diamond Lounge like on the Allure.

Lunch menu at Coastal Kitchen. Oasis has the best CK lunch I've experienced so far.

 

 

This menu is usually served when ship is in Labadee.  The F&B Manager was hosting the Labadee Mgmt team for lunch up here. 

 

I missed the grilled prawns in CK on the Allure.  I asked the maitre d'  and he had no idea.  CK menu on the Oasis seems different than Allure and the grilled prawns are exclusive to the Oasis.  I hope they don't disappear after dry dock.  I also have my fingers crossed that the bar in the suite lounge doesn't move to the back of the room like the Harmony.

I think we have that same Andrew Lloyd Webber CD. I think it needs to go in my car!

 

Bella looks especially beautiful after her spa day with the groomer!

Keep in mind that they started to put Wonderland there and ran into problems. Allure was done a year later and they probably made adjustments pre dry dock to get some type of food prep area there.

I've been saying that Oasis has the best lunch menus in CK. I'm hoping Harmony gets them when she heads north. Oasis definitely has a repeat clientele amongst the pins, and it seems a some of the crew is moving from Oasis to Harmony.

We used to leave our pup with a groomer and he would get bathed before we picked him up.

Just finished catching up. What a ride.

Thanks again for sharing your adventures.

Sorry I haven't finished yet. Will work on it tomorrow.  For now, here was the view from our condo tonight.

I have an 80D, but I'm still learning how to use it.

#93 Photos on Formal Night

Best reason to play dress up.

The first pic is very traditional, but a new hairdo for Laura

With so many pics over the years, we try and get in some playful shots

Don't let them force you into stock poses. 😉

And avoid the painted backdrops. 

The second was from a cruise last fall, much more hair.

IMO Laura really suits her new hairstyle.
