The Silky Ocean Dream gets a big thumbs up!

 

That looks delicious! Which bar was this from?

Park 19 looked to be training staff on the ropes course. You can walk around the jogging track, use the hammocks, and play ping pong. Everything else still appears to be closed. The odd-looking seats are surprisingly comfortable.

The Promenade Grill outside on the port side of Deck 9. 
 

The five dispensers on the right side will eventually have the condiments. 
 

 

 

I see that there is no grilled chicken sandwich on offer.  Too bad.  It is a nice alternative to a burger.

Cascade Bar, deck 17 forward, starboard side.

Riding the aft glass elevators from the Wake View Terrace to deck 18. It’s kind of odd that anyone can take the elevator and exit in the middle of the Sanctuary.

@CanadianBurger Thanks for so much information with photos! 

I saw that you posted a pick from the buffet with the sign- The Catch by Rudi. Are they serving selections there that are the same as in The Catch the restaurant? Is The Catch restaurant on your ship as well? TIA

Those aft venues are specialty restaurants in the evening (The Catch and Butcher’s Block), but part of The Eatery buffet on sea days. The selections are not from The Catch when it’s part of the buffet.

Question for readers: are the videos coming through okay on your end? They just spin if I click on one.

They are usually the same place.

I wondered the same thing. Didn’t see anything.

On other ships yes, but that sign only had elite on it.

Apologies if it’s more of a general

question that’s been answered elsewhere, but looking at the drink menus has raised some confusion.  Are the liquors that are listed under “Princess Premier” but are $15 or less not covered by Plus?

Asked at the “Loyalty” (apparently renamed from Captain’s Circle) desk about number of guests:

Total: 3861

 

Elite: 242

Platinum: 442

Blue (or white now I guess): 2007

He didn’t have the Gold/Ruby breakdown. 

 

He said all cabins are occupied, so there must be a lot of singles and/or staff/crew using passenger cabins.

 Having American Diner deck 8, might be nice to have once in awhile.  Do you have to have a reservation or can you walk up?

I wonder if they allocated too much space to this concept versus the regular dinner dining space on the other two levels.

This venue is definitely elite-only. It’s a small space and seems like an afterthought for where to hold this. Since it’s basically a public thoroughfare to/from The Dome, there’s staff to keep the unwashed masses (kidding!) away from the Elite food.

19 knots. No vibrations. Smooth day.

WOW!!!!!   I am so loving your posts!!!

I am the one who asked about the small wake-view pool...  Might be the only one I can really spend time in, as most seem too deep!

Nice to see that the ship is sailing so smooth and 'clean' as well !!!

Do you mind asking them if there is a Platinum venue at some point ?  That would be another erosion of benifits if not.
