LuCruise Posted November 5, 2018 #226 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I skim quickly through pictures of shows (as I don't want to spoil it)...but OMG....Flight looks amazing.

joand452 Posted November 5, 2018 #228 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Flight looks amazing! Is it my imagination or is there really less seating on Rising Tide Bar than on Allure and Oasis (only Oasis-class ships we’ve sailed on)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This rumour springs up periodically but seems very unlikely. I spoke to officers on Ovation about it and they were clear that we don’t have suitable ports to handle an Oasis class draft (or even passenger facilities to handle that many guests). Also, there are no nearby destinations to visit that could handle an Oasis class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a foodie or food critic so I'm not sure I can do any detailed food review justice without introducing my personal tastes into the review which are irrelevant. El Loco is not cooked to order. You walk up and make your own soft tacos, pickup a wrapped burrito or pre-made quesadilla. In some ways it's not very different from the Mexican offerings that make it into many Windjammer's on various ships. It's not designed to replace Sabor or be a specialty dining venue. It's included in the cruise fare and simply an alternative to lunch in the Windjammer. I haven't tried the burritos, maybe tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted November 6, 2018 Author #246 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Day 9 - Galley Tour A benefit of being Diamond Plus is a free galley tour. Today a Sous Chef would be conducting the tour. We meet one of the cooks who is responsible to make bread. Lots of it. Meat cooking station. Pickup station where wait staff retrieve food once it is ready to go. Dishwashing This particular tour was one of many they had to do because of the large numbers of Diamond Plus on board. It was a little rushed and we were in the way in the galley during a busy time. Consequently it's probably a good thing it was short. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaNana Posted November 6, 2018 #247 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I am loving your review and so happy to have found it! Amazing photos. My DH wasn’t impressed that I would want an expensive camera! Unbelievable color and clarity! Thank you for sharing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twangster Posted November 6, 2018 Author #248 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Day 9 - Misc. Splash away Bay Perfect Storm rules and limits They've finished placing the glass on the new Solarium Bar cover. My guess is the next step is to caulk or otherwise fill the gaps between each glass panel otherwise it won't be watertight. The bar remains closed. From my balcony I saw some Aqua Theater cast rehearsing. That's promising, hopefully the aqua shows will be a go tonight. If any body doesn't think swinging around in the air isn't a workout, think again. Mid day progress... For a ship with a published maximum speed of 22 knots, we're flying at 23 knots. Must be a good tail wind, the highest I saw so far was 23.1 knots. Our target destination is getting closer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare perfect match Posted November 6, 2018 #249 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I didn't think it would be possible for me to be any more excited about our upcoming cruise on Symphony. Was I ever wrong! After looking at your pictures, I don't know how I'm going to wait until our sail date at the end of April! "Flight" looks amazing! Thank you very much for sharing your transatlantic journey with us! I can assure you that I'll be reading and rereading this review many times over between now and our sail date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
