MisterMom Posted October 14, 2014 Author #176 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Sorry for duplicate posts. Dang technology.... Off to dinner - 8:30 seating in what's left of the MDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyariadne Posted October 14, 2014 #177 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I am hearing that the construction on the new grand suite aft cabins is not completed. I wonder if the construction on the Coastal Kitchen is also not completed. I can't imagine anyone thinking that what we saw in the pictures is adequate for a suites only restaurant. It makes sense, with so little time in drydock, that there is still a lot of "finishing" work to be done. At least I hope so because that is not an inviting space.

Cindy Posted October 14, 2014 #178 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I won't be eligible to eat in Costal Kitchen, but my opinion is that it looks more like a dining area in a hospital. Not nearly as plush as the other complimentary dining rooms. I expected nice table cloths & plushier chairs, etc. WOW....Coastal Kitchen looks more like Coastal Cafeteria. Makes Windjammer look positively elegant. I thought the same thing...it's very institutional looking. Hopefully since they won't open until November 8th that's not the finished product.

The Sunset Glow Posted October 14, 2014 #179 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Is there a small menu to eat at the bar like guacamole, salsa and chips,etc? It would be great to have some Dos Equis and snacks, especially Sabor's Guacamole. Yummy.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted October 14, 2014 #180 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I wonder what the big red balls are for? Those red balls do hold ballons. I saw those balls for the departure of the Norwegian Getaway and Breakaway. And I saw white ballons flying up today on the webcam. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papcx Posted October 14, 2014 #182 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I wonder what the big red balls are for? I think a certain bear onboard Quantum is missing these "balls" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserking Posted October 15, 2014 #188 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Awesome pictures Mr.Mom thanks for posting them.

MisterMom Posted October 15, 2014 Author #189 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Good morning from the Oasis of the seas! A little wavy last night but easy to sleep to. As we approach Southampton we have an escort... Several ships sounded their horns at us and Captain Trym returned their salute. We're now docked and headed into London for the day. More later!

MisterMom Posted October 15, 2014 Author #190 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Since tomorrow is a sea day, I should be able to upload more pics and respond to questions. Busy day. Also, internet was down this morning when I had an hour or so free so let's hope the internet gods are with me this evening and tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, internet was down this morning when I had an hour or so free so let's hope the internet gods are with me this evening and tomorrow! You are doing a fantastic job! We will be on the 5 nighter when Oasis gets back, and although I too, am disappointed the VCL is gone ( along with the public balconies in the aft!), she looks great! Is there any reason why RCI split the 3 dining room levels into 3 names? Also, if you can check out the new Diamond Club lounge on deck 4, that would be appreciated ( does it have ocean views?)..have a great cruise & thanks again for all the updates & photos!

MisterMom Posted October 15, 2014 Author #194 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Made it off the ship in Southampton while forgetting our hop on/hop off bus tickets for London. Had to "swim upstream" and fight my way back to the cabin. We have no pounds but, luckily, was invited to share a cab to the rail station with a fellow passenger to whom we now owe a drink! I love the camaraderie shared by fellow cruisers. Missed the 1100 train by seconds and hit up an atm at the station. We are now on our way to tour London on our own. Lovely scenery. I love the free Wi-Fi on the train! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare steamboats Posted October 15, 2014 #197 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Curious about the internet speed and whether they have said anything about being on the O3b system now. What speed? DH was happy to have internet at all :D (and hot water...). The O3b system has to be tested first and I don´t know whether the satellite coverage isn´t just limited to the Caribbean. That´s what been said earlier when they first announced that system of low flying satellites. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted October 15, 2014 #198 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Due to technical problems there was no Diamond breakfast today in the new Diamond Lounge - the buffet didn´t work :D. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That´s what been said earlier when they first announced that system of low flying satellites. Just looked up the O3b coverage and it looks like you are still too far north to be in their "standard" coverage area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big al Posted October 15, 2014 #200 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thanks for the praise. The MDR is split in prep for Dynamic Dining, supposedly coming in the Spring. Diamond Club (with ocean views, I believe) Wonderful pics, Thanks so much...looks like a big improvement over the one that was on deck 6..enjoy the rest of the cruise, and look forward to anymore updates!
