Lisa Bauer - Senior VP, Hotel Operations
I’m rarely at a loss for words, but there is so much going on, I’m not sure where to even start. Going under the Great Belt Bridge was certainly an experience. I was on Deck 18 and it was pretty close! It was actually a little surreal being up there with the crew dressed in Halloween costumes and a full moon. Everyone was cheering so loudly as we approached the bridge, and then when everyone saw how close we were, it got completely silent for bit. As soon as we were on the other side, the cheering returned. Check out the video on Oasisoftheseas.com.
It was a big day on Central Park. We officially opened Park Café. I think this venue is going to be extremely popular and it is a great alternative to Windjammer, especially for the guests staying near Central Park. The F & B team created a signature sandwich that you can only get there. Frank Weber, our VP of F& B, said the sandwich is called “Fritz Kuemmelweck” (I call it a fresh carved roast beef sandwich). The bread is amazing and the meat is hand carved and then you can add horseradish or different kinds of mustard and the au jus is a great touch. Park Café also offers the ability to create your own salad that is then tossed for you, or you can also get pre-made salads such as Potato or Waldorf. In addition to the sliced roast beef (sorry Frank), you can get grilled Panini’s. I especially like the placemats – they look like grass. The team really paid attention to even the smallest of details in each of the restaurants.
