Rare NorbertsNiece Posted September 30, 2014 Author #526 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Thanks Emmy. On Eurostar. Hope I can pick the move out when I get home. Contractors have been brought in from all over Europe. Many hundreds were there boarding, 99% appeared to be male.

NolaFireLI Posted September 30, 2014 #530 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Today's Compasses attached. 'Cupcake Cupboard' being moved to the Boardwalk. Will be a designer clothes shop in its place... I forget the name.... Sabor 2.0 where Seafood Shack currently resides. 'Willow' is being replaced by 'Michael Kors'. The 'Diamond Lounge' will eventually be something called 'Wonderland'. DL moving to Deck 4 as is Izumi on opposite sides. Viking Crown will be going. 2 new Royal Lofts. 6 new Aqua suites coming. Whole bunch of rooms across the price range being incorporated but may not necessarily be bookable until end November..... This is not all happening during refit. It's not all been months in the planning.... some of it has only been weeks.... The Living Walls in CP are being..... decimated.... as I write.... we saw workmen carrying plants out through the adjoining 2 staterooms on deck 10. Linda, Thank you for your outstanding blog as we sailed with you on the Oasis of the Seas. As someone who will be sailing on her shortly after her dry-dock I have followed this daily and enjoyed EVERYTHING!! I surely will miss the VCL and well I guess the quest to get to the "hidden" balconies will be no more, BUT I like the idea of Sabor and Michael Kors. Change is always good!! Safe Travels!!

Lynne95 Posted September 30, 2014 #531 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Linda, welcome home! I really enjoy your point of view, and thanks for sharing your travels. Hope we can sail together again someday. Hugs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruising89143 Posted September 30, 2014 #532 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Linda I read your entire review last night. Great job as always. Your photos of the Amalfi Coast brought back great memories from our Equinox cruise in June. Other than Venice, Sorrento and Positano have to be some of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I see you had seas like we did. Calm. Never felt the ship move in 14 days. Welcome home and thanks again for the time spent sharing your journey. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janeyzee Posted September 30, 2014 #539 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Thank you. I guess that's why I couldn't find the menu, LOL!:D I laughed at this cuz until a few months ago I had no idea who or what Michael Kors was. I'm so far behind the fashion curve! No way would I spend that much for a bag but I do love to window shop and browse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted October 1, 2014 Author #549 Share Posted October 1, 2014 The police arrive and have stopped further taxis coming through to pick up I called the cab company numerous times. We gave up. RCL brought a large coach / bus around offering free transfer to the station. We grabbed it. Another, and this time it is, final look back Rotterdam Centraal Station is hi-tech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
