I give up. How do we see your signatures?

 

Need to be on a laptop and expand signature. 

On an Android, you can turn phone sideways and they show up.

My wife too.. she's always looking for someone to knit with... On Liberty they have a knit group that meets in a bar one day during the cruise 

 

A big group met in R Bar on Serenade TA this spring. I was in charge of moving furniture. 🤣

 

Eventually they moved to VCL due to smoke from casino

[Tulsacoker]

Well we won't be crossing paths this year... Only have Oasis 4/12 and Ovation 9/4

 

She was surprised that Oasis didn't have a group considering the size

Love this review-especially since I'll be on Oasis in 46 days (not that I'm counting).  On Harmony in August, there were only 2 lunch menus in CK.  I was interested to see that the menu is rotating more on Oasis.  Would like to see the menus if you have a chance and only if it is not too much trouble-don't let my request interfere with your rest and relaxation.

I think I'm beating the sun now 🌞

 

Moving bed helped with blowing towels

 

Gorgeous day, never had such a breeze in port

 

 

Not many chair hogs

Harmony second menu is just awful in my opinion. They utilize it on day 5 forward

Symphony uses one menu

Allure has two menus and they alternate on port and sea days

Oasis has 4-5 menus, but i believe 3 are variations on the same one

They should put these guys in One Sky😉

Its time for the rant of the week

 

1) If you insist on wearing a backpack in the elevator, please be cognizant of the giant hump on your back when moving around

 

2) Do not take every piece of meat and cheese off the buffet. Especially when its a brand new plate. You know who you are.😉

 

3) Smile, you're on a cruise

We may bail on Ovation and pick up something closer in Spring 21

Had an Alpha call this morning from Park Cafe prior to docking

 

No idea why, but I guess we are down a passenger or two

[John&LaLa]

Sunny sky's this morning turned to rain, but then it cleared

 

 

We went in search of coffee, chocolate and meat patties

 

 

Meat and cheese

 

Crew enjoying them

 

Got coffee, chocolate, and a christmas ornament. It was a good day

 

BTW, I think an MSC ship came into dock at noon, but turned away🤔

New hot tubs on 16 look fun. Right next to Lime & Coconut 

 

[John&LaLa]

From this morning

 

One is the loneliest number

Who is this Mario guy? Just a avid RCCL cruiser?

I was concern at first you didn't mention that your quest also included a Red Stripe. But you pulled through.

Unless I'm standing in front of it hitting the espresso button for the sixth time 😄. 

 

LOL...that's why I go up at just after 6 am, very empty!  I am getting Bucky's mix of espresso/coffee and my Latte.  Takes awhile to hit the button enough to fill our travel mugs.  😉

Oasis never really had them, just portable ones.

 

Harmony and Symphony have permanent ones

 

So does Mariner.  🙂

Area?  I’ve seen it occur in the CL on Freedom and SL on Harmony.

Say hello to Leo and Tao for us!  They are both wonderful!  🙂

Coastal Kitchen has 86 seats. They can move a lot of them around to accommodate large parties, but its usually 2 - 4 at a table

Chef's Table is back to placing all the wine glasses out during the day. They had stopped that last spring due to people taking them. 

Since the CK/SL on Oasis was created from the old VCL, it retains the original bar layout.  They changed the design on the new builds, Harmony and Symphony to place it where Chef's Table is above. 

You get a lot of opinions on the two layouts, I really don't care one way the other.  They both have advantages and disadvantages. 

 

eh...yeah, everyone indeed has personal preference.  I still like the layout of Oasis over Harmony.  We loved to sit at the bar while we waited for our table in CK.   Harmony's bar just not the same.  

 

Soooo funny about the wine glasses...probably going to have to pick them up again...still think it's a strange (and noisy) place for a Chef's Table.
