I'll be interested to see if they keep the old decor that Oasis & Allure have or if they update it to the decor that Harmony and Symphony have. I prefer the colours on OA and AL so hope that they stay. Shame that Oasis isn't doing more Canada/NE cruises - the prospect of sailing an amped Oasis from NJ is tempting as I could have done without the extra flight to Florida to get on HM this time.

Hope you have had a great first 2 days! You're lucky - just noticed that you have Joff on Ovation.

On the bright side - you won't be on a ship with too many kids!

I'm still in Orlando - did I miss the ship? Boarding tomorrow - will let you know my thoughts. ?

They don't have much of these offerings on USA based ships. Breakfasts were a bit rubbish on my last 2 sailings from the States (AN 2016 & HM 2017).

Thank you!

I like it. The room is large and the beds are extremely comfortable. It does look a bit tired in places but I'm satisfied with it.

I think that they did. I got the Oreo Cheesecake.

Will post when back at hotel.

Mall of Millenia.

Upper right is black pudding. The food at the bottom is haggis. Both are local specialities.

Arrived in MCO around 5pm. Went to TGI Fridays for dinner - always a favourite. Staying at Four Points by Sheraton on International Drive on the 21st floor. The view of Orlando looks great. Some of the group are not impressed though.

Slight delay, just chilling in EWR with a Starbucks. I think that the UK does Frappucinos better, but still nice nonetheless:

Landed in EWR.

At the airport - flight leaving at 0940. Time to go! Long day ahead, wish me luck. Will miss proper breakfasts on the ship - this is this morning's offering:

Yeah - the CD is not visible much on Oasis Class due to the size and the fact that they have more admin work to do than on a smaller ship.

Very disappointed at the lack of additions to Voyager. And of course, extra cabins... Think I'll pass on any future VY sailing.

Thank you. And yes, my priorities are on the Harmony. Fingers crossed that Marc is a good CD. With regards to the list here, I'm not getting info regarding the CD's now. In addition, the CD List on CC is now totally substandard so I'm not bothering getting info from that. The AM List there was always terrible. The only info I'm getting is from any CD's that I follow on social media.

Dru seemed to be let go from Royal back in November. He is now working for Disney, although is not a Cruise Director.

Nice to see you on here again! Following - have a great time.

This is on debarkation day, so we'll already be flying in from Orlando and the immigration won't apply.

For a Glaswegian, I speak very American. ?

Hope y'all had a great weekend. 3 days until Orlando, 6 until the ship. Can't wait for nicer weather, very wet today in Glasgow.

1 week & 11 hours until it all begins! Just checked the flights - got a 6 hour layover in EWR on debarkation day. Do you think we would have enough time to go to Manhattan for lunch?
