They are bringing Filipino food to the suite this evening. CK only for breakfast this cruise. Both CK and SL are ghost towns on this cruise. 

I guess with all the specialty restaurants available to you, the ship is yours

Any idea why they are empty aside from the time of year?

 

Last week was the Pentair cruise, which was about a third of the passengers.  I don't think there were very many Diamond or Pinnacle guests.  We got to the port around 1100 and boarding had already started.  There was no one in the Suite and Pinnacle waiting area and we just walked on the ship.  Quickest embarkation we have every done.

That was my experience in September as well. Once they open the doors, they move people through fast.

We love the Hibachi here in town!  I need to show my hubs the Mickey Head fried rice. I think that pic would send him over the edge so we can book it on the cruise ship. He's totally against paying extra for dinner but you know his DW always figures out a way to sneak it in. LOL!

The Trellis Bar! My favorite spot on the Oasis class ships.  Thanks for that shot! 

 

Cheers!

Love Central Park for Dinner, eating outside of Jamie’s and listening to the nightly music!

Is she still on board? This was November.

At least 6 falls detracted from the quality of the show. I didn’t stay till the end.

Seems like once one falls the bug is set in and makes the distracting seeing the others. I feel for them really

The version I saw on the transatlantic cruise last year was absolutely incredible with a lot of seemingly impossible costume changes on the ice. The version I saw earlier this year was watered down, shorter, and a little less exciting. I don't know what happened to it. I presume the original choreography was too much to replicate on a consistent basis. You might have had the B team. Still a great show though.

Did you see the earlier performance last night? We went to the 10:45 performance and didn't see any drones fall. The drones were only at the start of the show and they didn't interact with live performers.

I believe Andy meant the skaters falling, not the drones.

 

I've seen one drone on the ice at every performance I have been to. 

 

Maybe it's the same drone

Great picture of the drones in flight. I never have luck with that shot. Maybe it's your STAR seat location. We are always on the side. Keep them coming.

Are these drones controlled by crew or by one computer?

The flight pattern is preprogrammed but someone has to set them up and keep an eye on them during the performance.

If you look closely in the photo you will see 2 white boxes near the center of the ice rink. These create the GPS field the drones use for their flight path/location guidance. They run on a server program.

In addition to the boxes mentioned above there are also several transmitters in Studio B to help create that internal GPS system. It's really fascinating to hear it explained.  

 

the skaters scoop up the dead drones and the boxes at the end of the number😉
