I thought that the 70s party was very poorly attended. Usually the whole RP is packed but not last last night.

Morning all.

 

Todays geek update.

 

 

Little Britain is doing better than me this morning. Still better than my connection at home!

 

Location update.

 

 

15 and a bit knots. Little bit of a swell, nothing too serious, and the sun is attempting to peak out from in between clouds. And is successful sometimes.

 

 

An apology!

 

I would like to say sorry in advance!

 

Today I am wearing shorts and nobody deserves that. Maybe I'll setup a helpline for anyone effected.

Agreed. This is my first Oasis class sailing but I've seen the webcam on previous sailings. Maybe more people will turn up for future events.

Quick tip everyone.

 

Don't try to eat a park cafe salad in Central Park if it's a bit breezy.

 

You will, I repeat, you will get honey and mustard salad dressing on your white shirt and shorts.

It's a serious problem that no one onboard seems to take seriously!

 

Quite honestly, I think there should be a warning in the daily planner [emoji57]

[papcx]

Deck 4 tour.

 

 

 

 

Comedy club.

Agree about eating in breezy Central Park! We're on the cruise with you now and I think we'll head inside for lunch. We were rained on at the Cafe two days ago.😆

[papcx]

Jazz on 4. Very nice.

 

 

 

 

 

Lift area.

 

 

[papcx]

Artwork.

 

 

 

[papcx]

Blaze.

 

 

 

 

 

[papcx]

More Blaze.

 

 

 

 

Shared entrance area for Blaze, comedy club and Jazz on 4.

Hall of Odds.

 

 

 

 

 

[papcx]

Casino. (Aka The Ship building fund generator.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bar area in casino.

 

 

The casino is huge! However it's very smokey (imo) even on the non-smoking side.

[papcx]

Izumi is tucked away to one side.

 

 

 

 

Bobby and Hugo were in there experiencing, and filming, the Habitashi (sp?)

Hall of Odds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Normally I hate it when people can't find the reply button and quote an entire page of 6 photos just to add a one line reply, but in this case, it's appropriate. Where is this "Hall of Odds" I guess I missed it on my 2 Allure cruises. Either that or my memory is going faster than I thought.

It's a little passage way between the casino / art gallery and the shared entrance to blaze, comedy, Jazz. The photos show it all. Blink and you'll miss it.

[papcx]

It's still a little chilly, by we've started on the ice cream anyway.

 

 

Lots of work going on in the aqua theatre. Probably getting ready for USA inspections.

 

[Overtyme]

Ocean Aria. WOW. DW says it's the best thing she's seen on a cruise ship. Absolutely excellent.

 

Video posted using tapatalk app. How's the compression?

Phone pics came out great and video looks pretty good as well.

Brings back some fond memories of this ship for me.

So far, she's my favorite. I can't wait to go on Anthem, but it's probably like comparing apples to oranges.

Harmony looks to combine the best of Anthem on an Oasis class ship, with new features like water slides. I'm thinking she's next for us in a few years.

[Jewelfine]

thanks for posting all of those picks !!! they turned out great, making me even more excited for our cruise.

 

RE internet any time your going to get more than 3MB x 3MB you will be in good shape, most of the speed above that is just gravy mmmm Gravy !!!

 

RE the casino I'm looking for some picks or video of the HIGH LIMIT area, apparently that is where the poker area used to be and its behind the bar, you will find two baccarat tables there and three blackjack tables.

 

thanks

The Anthem is an amazing ship. But so is the Allure. They both have positive that the other doesn't but are still great.

I agree. Oasis class with Wonderland, Robobar and water slides.

Great show - unbelievable illusions and some fantastic shadow puppets.
