She connected with the scarecrow when she was off to see the Wizard.

 

 

 

Not what she was expecting

Okay point taken. Great pictures. Oh by the way just saw a crew member we know from our Radiance Panama Canal cruise. Small world this

[Ozark_Kid]

She found out in the end it was not real.

 

Wizard wanted to make up so he offered a ride home.

 

That didn't work but the good witch comes to the rescue!

 

 

And she makes it home!

 

 

There's no place like home!

Might be too early to ask but how does this compare to Oasis Class ships so far?

A definite step.up from Oasis class IMO.  Congregated the kids in a few areas leaving lots of areas that are really just adults.  More complimentary food options, more entertainment more space overall, it's a definite win.

Couple of quick shots of Crown Lounge

 

 

The saddest place on the ship

Does the Crown Lounge have views of anything? I'm not sure where it is located

No views.  It's by the forward elevators on deck 6

Just wanted to say that I am loving your pics!  🤩

All right, I am going to come right out and say it. Why Wizard of Oz? Seriously we love big productions and Broadway quality but this is an old show I have seen so many times. In other words (cough!) boring!  And if I’m honest, I don’t really love it anyway. I guess you have the option for some stunning visuals with the backgrounds but otherwise I would probably skip it, and we never skip the entertainment and particularly appreciate RCI quality in this area.

Oz became public domain a little while ago.  I think that means millions saved in licensing fees.

Alright,  I am going to have to ask, if it is boring to you why have you watched it so many times?  😆

It wasn't boring until the last time they saw it.☺️ If they had Mamma Mia on the ship I'd be tempted to melt my credit card and book a sailing.😀

Per Nick Weir, this is a licenced show.

And I missed them saying  "And if I’m honest, I don’t really love it anyway."

Maybe they should go see Cats 🐈 😆

Having some difficulties with coordinating my video skills but here is a short on of the Promenade

 

 I do not know if this will show or not but please let me know

 

[FromSea2ShiningSea]

A few photos from yesterday as I toured the upper deck.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Hideaway pool is a very nice setup for adults only area.  👍  The pool wasn’t opened yet.

 

 

Thrill Island Category Six thrill rides behind the Hideaway- not a problem for the adults area as some had feared.

This one starts off blurry but clears up once I get inside
