Psycho and Barb

Yes we love that feature and no more filling out the customs form but the OP was from India and I don’t think the facial recognition works for him.

It’s not exactly 30 minutes. I saw people drop off their stuff and the pool attendants didn’t come by to mark the chairs till 15 to 20 minutes later. They also didn’t take the item’s exactly 30 minutes after they marked them. Each pool area had a lot of chairs for just two pool attendants to monitor. The point is the Odyssey was attempting to fix the age old problem and I’ve got to admit…The word spread fast and there seemed to be less chair hogs on sea days three and four.

How in the heck did you clear customs without your passports after you got off the ship?

3 Chairs

We just completed an 8-day cruise on the Odyssey and we had 4 sea days. As you can imagine, the chair hogs were out in full force but Odyssey’s staff were ready. Each pool area had at least two attendants that worked all day long…They were tagging all unoccupied chairs and removing the items if the person didn’t return in time. They were using little yellow stickies to mark the time they placed the tag, the number of chairs and they placed the tag on the chair in a location the person would not notice. The staff got lots of thanks and I only witness one upset lady…She came back three hours later and was upset her stuff was removed. Way to go Royal!!!

Wear your boots and jackets...Heavy stuff on your flight. Allows you to get more stuff in your suitcases...Lol

We on the Odyssey 30 Mar for a 8 Night Southern Caribbean & Perfect Day.

Think it also may be attractive to new cruisers. Let them experience a cruise at a lower price and for a shorter time...Over a weekend might even be a bigger draw.

And they just held the Florida Man Games...Lol https://www.thefloridamangames.com/

We have never taken the ships excursion but we have walked to it and took the tram up…If I remember right, It was only about 25 bucks each. Great view, cold beer and fantastic food.

Its funny how we all panic a little bit the closer our cruise comes...Did I do that...What about that...Lol

As long as its not Bikeweek or Biketoberfest

If I remember right it’s bus 10 to eagle beach.

Excellent Picture

We like Eagle Beach but the renting of chairs and umbrellas are expensive. But we think its expensive at any beach you may go to. We have learned though to bring our own collapsible soft sided ice chest and buy our drinks at the port...There is a CitGo gas station right outside the port. We stop there and purchase our beverages and ice...Walk across the street and grab a cab to Eagle Beach. Sorry but we haven't snorkeled there so can't be much help on that.
