Rare whitshel Posted September 21, 2015 #1201 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Yes, steamboats is talking about the part I was referring to. My fault - there are a quite a few parts sticking out of port wing. I should have included the same image that I used in FB comment to make it stand out. Or I could have put a red circle around it. Maybe thats where the Abyss starts, goes down the side of the ship and then down to the boardwalk :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking out over the aft end of deck 16 with FlowRider bleachers in the foreground, the Wipe Out Bar off to the left and the future home of the Ultimate Abyss slide launch area in the background.

I wonder if they are doing a "walk the plank"-style feature like NCL has done on their last few newbuilds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OfTheSeasCruiser Posted September 22, 2015 #1205 Share Posted September 22, 2015 This doesn't necessary have to do with Harmony, but it will have an impact on the naming of Oasis 4 and Q4. According to a certain blog, RCI has abandoned most, if not all, of their perviously trademarked names. They include Emblem, Passion, Pulse, Apex, Joy, and Spectrum of the Seas. IMO, this is good news... They were terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, this is good news... They were terrible. Trademarks are public record. All of these were up for renewal and RCI did not act to renew or use them and that is all that happened. They did not actively file to abandon them, so we could see them re-appear again. They had renewed the one group of names one time and the other group were only filed for one year. Oddly, Ovation of the Seas is also currently listed as abandoned as well. More concerning if I was RCI is that the trademarks for 'Royal IQ' and 'Wowband' are up for renewal and documents appear to not have been filed for their active use. They need to file prior to October 7th according to the trademark tracking websites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd555 Posted September 22, 2015 Author #1209 Share Posted September 22, 2015 We need to crowdsource Lloyd a longer lens. Who's in. Save your money (although I cooouuulldd use a TA cruise in October 2016 on the Harmony... ;) ) Front edge of deck 14 of the Solarium. Yup, definitely no open space in front of the Solarium. :rolleyes: Looking down from deck 16 at deck 15 of the Solarium. Looking up at deck 15 of the Solarium. Looking out over the port bridge wing. A closer look at that extra bit added to the front edge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11madmic Posted September 23, 2015 #1211 Share Posted September 23, 2015 is the pool in the solarium going to be the same as the oasis and allure? or will they increase the size or possible copy quantum's solarium pools? that was the only thing i wish they would do, i found that pool to be on the small side especially if its busy.

I think it'll be the same setup as Oasis/Allure, perhaps with additional smaller ones on the new section (but I doubt it looking at the photos/deckplans) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty cool but what a strange place to put it....kids are not allowed in the solarium and they will be the ones wanting to see this most:rolleyes: Maybe they will figure out a way to have it open to everyone.

First time we went on Oasis I didn't tell my kids that the donuts at the donut shop on the boardwalk were free - they assumed you had to pay and I didn't tell them the difference:p I didn't want them loading up on donuts every day. On the last day I told them they were free and let them have some. They were happy about the donuts but gutted that they didn't know all week. I still hear about that one today - they say I'm a mean mom:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the reduced open deck space now on deck 15 forward, those wings are going to be so crowded during sailaway. Edit: It will be a great view though regardless.

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted September 24, 2015 #1223 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I looked it up and someone who toured the Oasis said that it was wave radar? Can anyone confirm? I found the below reference to "Wave Radar" on an Oasis review HERE (and a few other places): They had waves of 80 feet during the crossing. The reason they know this is they had a wave radar position right at the tip of the bow looking straight down that they were using for purposes of passenger comfort. The last wave height recorded was 80 feet when a wave hit it and bent the radar out of position. During the crossing, there were people who were working on the Royal Promenade who went out on Deck 5 having no idea how bad the weather was.

If you look at the bottom of the radar tower there is a large hydraulic cylinder. Normally the radar is upright, and the cylinder would lower it for exactly what you described.

dutchclogs Posted September 24, 2015 #1225 Share Posted September 24, 2015 ^nice link. Does anyone have an idea when the shakedown cruise/sea trials are likely to take place? We are booked on the 'maiden' voyage from Southampton to Barcelona end May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
