Psycho and Barb

We are on the Odyssey of the Seas and can’t find a Crown and Coke anyplace. Beverage Manager told us Crown Royal and Royal Caribbean has a disagreement over the cost and have stopped purchasing Crown Royal for all it’s ships. It’s still for sale in bottles in the ships stores…Just can’t get a drink onboard

Because they have lots of money to make up for

We just did our Walgreens rapid NAAT test…Drove up the window at 1030 Hrs and they gave us the swab still in the package. Opened it and swabbed both nostrils five times…Put it back in the package and returned it. Got our negative email at 1125 Hrs. Now just have to make that long nine hour drive to the port.

Crown and Coke for Psycho and Vodka tonic for Barb...That's for any ship.

It may have moved beyond but we paid way too much for our iPhones to risk it...Be my luck I got one made by a disgruntled worker.

We used CVS for our last cruise when we could schedule two weeks out…Can only schedule now same day or one day out. Went with Walgreens and scheduled one week out. Get tested tomorrow morning for our next cruise so we will see how Walgreens does it.

Did they charge for a Minute Clinic visit?

Another excuse to get rid of all the paper copies of the cruise planner

Excellent ideal!!!

I did the Halibut hunt in Ketchikan Alaska in 2017 on our cruise. There was just six of us on the boat and we caught lots of Halibut. I told our guide I would be using their shipping service to ship my catch home. My fishing partners had planned to have their catches cooked but after we got back, they were told the cook was sick and couldn't cook the catch. So they all donated their catch's to me and I had them shipped home...Halibut makes the best fish taco's. Going back in June on the Serenade of the Seas and already have the Halibut Hunt booked on the 1st of July 2022 and I will be shipping my catch home again. Hope I can get my fishing partners catches again!!!

We had that same model for a few years and love it. All of our devices are charged by USB and when you bring a 10 foot USB extension cord (Looks nothing like an electrical extension cord)..We can use/charge the device anywhere in the room. The device is small and easy to pack. Never had a problem with security

Hoping they have the "Quest" next week on the Odyssey...Its been too long

It’s only 145 miles from Seattle to Vancouver and a nice train ride

We did Alaska on the Radiance of the Seas in Jun-Jul 2017 and loved it. The smaller ship allowed the captain to get closer to the glacier and pivot the ship 360 degrees...Don't think he could get as close on a bigger ship. This year we are going back on the Serenade of the Seas and can't wait.

You are more then welcomed. We didn’t know till a couple weeks ago but as you said…Our Government test are the same IHEALTH test and we will keep them for an emergency backup

Unless you want to spend $20 bucks to have the tests supervised online and they are acceptable by Royal https://ihealthlabs.com/products/ihealth-verified-covid-test-service

Just about always the same but with different players.

The poker tournaments are rough...The blinds go up way too fast and you have to play hands that you normally would toss. I always seem to get the one guy who goes all in every hand and when he loses...He rebuys in and continues to go all in. Just not enjoyable to me but I do like the late night cash games.

Good luck with that. We tried it once...Didn't matter what channel we tried people stepped all over us and some were just rude. Some people like the dry erase board on the door...It can be inconvenient to have to run back to a room to leave or get a message. We just get one internet package and share it. Barb will log on and send me a text message and I will log on to check for messages...Without be logged on we don't get notifications but it works for us.

Its been awhile since we've been on the Oasis but just about all the ships have an unlimited Texas poker table. In our experience it doesn't get much activity till late at night...Well except for the tournaments the casino will run during the day.

They started that on the second week of our B2B on the Explorer of the Seas last November. When we didn't get them the second week, we asked our room attendant and she explained it was a new policy and they weren't putting them in the rooms anymore and to use the app. We thought it was stupid and asked her if we could request it and she was more then happy to make sure we had it. We will be on the Odyssey the 3rd of next month...So I guess we will see.

But is the Quest back? We love the Quest

People in the windjammer taking food…Taking a bite and then putting it back. Actually happened and one of the workers had to remove the whole container of food People vaping in the theater…Thinking no one would notice. Someone not waiting for people to get off an elevator before getting on. People playing their music on Bluetooth speakers loud enough for the whole ship to hear.

Still has lots of dead coral and seashells but your right…If you try and take them back on the ship and they see them on the X-ray, they will confiscate them. But for some reason if they are in your pockets…No problem's

We absolutely love Labadee!!! It's nothing fancy but it is a great relaxing beach day...No locals wondering the beach pestering you to purchase trinkets like some other beach stops. It is like CocoCay used to be before it got commercialized...Except there are no Chickens running around the island like there use to be on CocoCay. Psycho loves the snorkeling off Nellies Beach. We have done the zip line a couple of times and loved it and would recommend trying it at least once. We do agree the food choices could be improved.
