Sccrkeepr Posted April 6, 2016 #401 Share Posted April 6, 2016 It is what we in the UK call "Bumper cars!" We used to call them "Bumper cars" but the Theme park / Fairground owners got fed up of their liability premiums rising year on year, so "Dodgems" seemed to circumnavigate (forgive the pun) the problem. :) :D LOL, thank you, that helps!

DrewAU Posted April 7, 2016 #406 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Marine traffic has her heading to Bremerhaven. To pick up one last sculpture for the top deck you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingernm Posted April 7, 2016 #407 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Quick q! Anyone know yet if the app will work? Thanks Rob. ovation 3rd May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted April 7, 2016 #408 Share Posted April 7, 2016 She´s expected to arrive in Bremerhaven by 10:30 pm tonight (after a round of sea trials). Hand over ceremonies are held tomorrow (so I doubt there will be time to add a sculpture ;)). Royal IQ app should work on all Quantum class ships including the Ovation of the Seas. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saab4444 Posted April 7, 2016 #409 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I trust they add the big Panda, created by a Chinese Artist, when she arrives in China. This makes sense from a Marketing perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare steamboats Posted April 7, 2016 #412 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Meyer Werft did invite media yesterday for a short tour around the Ovation in Hamburg. Here´s a 20 min video in German showing the ship. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icsys Posted April 7, 2016 #413 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Nice video. There is a lot of last minute work going on. Just six days now before the first 'cruise' (AKA ferry crossing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaveSplasher Posted April 7, 2016 #414 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Which shop did they replace with The Kung Fu Panda noodle shop on the Ovation compared to the Anthem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare little britain Posted April 7, 2016 #415 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Which shop did they replace with The Kung Fu Panda noodle shop on the Ovation compared to the Anthem? Johnny Rockets: exactly the same as on Quantum. But as it wasn't a proper JRs anyway it's not great loss imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummerdavebmth Posted April 7, 2016 #416 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) But as it wasn't a proper JRs anyway it's not great loss imho Totally agree!! The fun of JR's to me was sitting down in an old 50's style American dinner and being served amazing burgers by happy, dancing staff (who encourage everyone to say "hello" to you as you come in!). Not to mention the one off cover charge, rather than paying per item. From the pictures I've seen, they've reduced JR's to the same experience as queuing up to get a burger at Mc Donnalds!!! Give me the Panda Noodle bar any day!! Edited April 7, 2016 by drummerdavebmth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonqueen Posted April 7, 2016 #417 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Thanks for the video, right towards the end he is walking along the back wall of the downstairs part of the music hall & it is totally lined with one arm bandits, that doesn't look good. Please tell me I am mistaken:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me I am mistaken:( I caught that too and even replayed the section of the video because I didn't remember them from Quantum a year and a half ago. It does look like there are more, but I can't see how they're going to fit chairs in front of them and not block the passage? Guess I'll find out in two weeks!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icsys Posted April 7, 2016 #419 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Look again. It is a corridor along the starboard side of the Music Hall. Edited April 7, 2016 by icsys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selwynf Posted April 7, 2016 #420 Share Posted April 7, 2016 It's 'optimised' for the Chinese market and that probably means facilitating a healthy appetite for gambling. Ovation is just pulling into Bremerhaven now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zawmer Posted April 7, 2016 #421 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Look again.It is a corridor along the starboard side of the Music Hall. I don't speak German, but he does literally say "Music Hall" at 19:03. Back the the question of Kung Fu Panda Noodle Shop... so will that be a cover charge instead of a la carte? How much would the cover be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a photo at the back of the downstairs part of the Music Hall at the back of the bar on Anthem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonqueen Posted April 7, 2016 #423 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Look again.It is a corridor along the starboard side of the Music Hall. You are right, they have made it into a corridor of one arm bandits at the back of the music hall, I get the impression that there is a false wall immediately behind the bar making the corridor. On Anthem this was all part of the Music hall with bar stools & lovely seats as you can see from my picture above, we spent a lot of time in that area, I loved Rock the Boat & the whole atmosphere of the place but I wear hearing aids & I found that area allowed me to enjoy the music & hear conversations. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
