    Rayma got a reaction from Hoski in Popcorn $$   
    My best guess is that they charge for popcorn because it is a super messy food. Imagine the mess if there would be a FREE popcorn stand in front of a show venue! 🙈
    2.50$ reduces popcorn eaters (and the mess) by like 98 %. 😅 Still, those who really want popcorn are able to get it with a quite nominal fee.

    Rayma reacted to FireFishII in WHY DO YOU CRUISE? WHAT IS THE DRAW?   
    I like it to test out the waters. With the shore excursions, I can just get a taste of what a country is like.  If I enjoyed my time, I will look into doing a land vacation in that country.  But I relax better on a cruise than anywhere else. No worries!

    And so it was finally "get off our ship day". 😭 
    Here's how it went:
    Disembarkation:
    The allocation of tags could have been improved. In the past, you would receive a form in your stateroom so you could say what time you needed to be off the ship. Not so on this cruise; the only assigned tags were for those who were taking Royal's transfers. Everyone else was assigned randomly (according to Guest Services), which is just plain stupid. This meant there were lots of guests in line to get their tags changed, us included. However, once we finally reached the desk there were no issues getting new ones and our tags were actually called a bit ahead of the estimated time. We dragged our feet a little, bearing in mind that we had transport booked at 9 and had 8.30 tags.


    It probably took us all of about 10 minutes to ding out for the last time and walk through the terminal to the car park, where there were lots of drivers holding up name signs. Since we were early, ours was not there but we did finally spot him at about 8.50.
    Homeward bound:
    Our flight home was not until 5.30 pm and I had originally planned on getting a transfer straight to the airport, where we would store our bags and then go and visit the nearby Etruscan ruins of Ostia Antica. Except it hadn't clicked that our cruise ended on a Monday and the Etruscan ruins are all closed on Mondays. 🙄 DH has no idea how lucky he was to avoid another dose of ruins! 😆
    Consequently, I arranged with our pre-cruise hotel to return there and store our bags for a few hours before heading to the airport so that we could have another little wander around Rome. With this is mind I booked a shared shuttle, again with Civitavecchia Shuttle Express, back to the hotel. As I mentioned above the driver met us as scheduled, but we were the last of four drop-offs so it took us two hours to get there, by which time I was second guessing myself and almost wishing we'd just headed straight to the airport. In the end, though I was glad we didn't. We had a pleasant wander around - much better than sitting around the airport for 6 hours - and went for lunch in the nearby Monti area of Rome, where the guide on our first walking tour had told us we would get sensible prices and decent quality. And he was right.
    Last lunch in Rome:

    I had again booked our return taxi to the airport with Fiumicino Taxis. The driver arrived about 10  minutes early, which worked fine for us as we had already arrived back at the hotel a few minutes beforehand, and the trip to the airport took just under 30 minutes.
    I was surprised at how "un-chaotic" the airport was (except for our airline's check-in desk but we're used to this with TAP; the Air France desks opposite seemed much more orderly). The security line was long and zig-zagging but fast-moving, as there were lots of stations open. This was in Terminal 1 and we were flying within the Schengen area, so I don't know how typical a situation this is or if it might be different in other parts of the airport.
    Someone from the CC roll call posted that a lot of American cruisers had missed their flights home because they had to be tested at the airport for their same-day flights and the line was long and very slow-moving, with a waiting time of around four hours! So while that testing requirement is still in place for those of you flying back to the US, it would be well worth considering a next-day flight that gives you the chance to get tested before heading to the airport for your flight. Another member of our roll call opted to stay overnight at the Rome Airport Hilton, where they were able to test, allowing them to get their results (happily negative) without the ordeal of potentially missing their flight home.
    Final remarks:
    The ship:
    This was our first time sailing a Quantum class ship and, while I liked the ship, I would be bound to say it is definitely not my favourite class. I missed the open spaces like Central Park and the Boardwalk on Oasis class, as well as the wider promenades on Oasis and Voyager class. I felt that the Via (I think that's what it was called) was rather a waste of space as there wasn't really anything on it, and the Esplanade was too narrow. I didn't like the way the Diamond lounge was so hidden away that we had to go hunting for it (the reason we only went there once). And I didn't like the lack of an internet cafe and a physical payment terminal at Guest Services, both of which caused us inconvenience. As a space, I thought Two70 was lovely, but it didn't do it for me as an entertainment venue because of the layout of the seating. The gym was fantastic but had a couple of what, to me, were design flaws: not enough open floor space for peeps wanting to do floor work outs; and no bathrooms! There was only a single bathroom on the landing outside, for everyone's use - men, women, families and disabled people. That's just not good enough. Folks doing a serious workout can be in the gym for an hour or two and they will be drinking fluids constantly to keep hydrated. Proper bathroom facilities are a must.
    Entertainment:
    All in all, I thought the entertainment was good. For once, we managed to see all the shows because there were performances scheduled for later times after dinner (9.30 or 10.30). We rarely make it to pre-dinner shows because they clash with my gym time and DH's hot tub time. I liked the special effects in the Effectors even though the story line was weak and I enjoyed the headliners and the production shows. I wasn't impressed by The Book. I thought it started way too slowly (and DH agreed by falling asleep within the first five minutes) and, while I enjoyed the aerial acrobatics, I thought the bazaar scene was messy.
    The food:
    Always subjective, I thought that the food in the MDR was good. We ate there for dinner every night except the night which had the Duck Terrine appetizer on the menu, as we don't like that particular menu. We would have done Teppanyaki that night instead but did not want to book before the cruise, when we could have got it for $38 each, because we didn't know which night that particular menu would show up; and we didn't want to book on board once we did know because the onboard price was an unjustifiably expensive $54. In retrospect, it was probably a mistake not to book it beforehand; I could have attempted to change it on board, if necessary and, in a worst case scenario, I would have been able to cancel and get the money back. I will bear that in mind for future cruises where there is a Teppanyaki option.
    Breakfasts and most lunches were in the Windjammer. I thought the food was just OK there and very lacking in variety, especially at lunchtime. We ate dinner there on the "duck terrine" night, when supposedly the WJ had an Italian theme, and I was very disappointed at the lack of choices. I have seen much much better on other ships. But hopefully, this situation is temporary and will gradually improve as the ships get back to their pre-covid standards.
    The Staff:
    In a word: fantastic. They went out of their way to provide excellent service and make sure we had a good time. And we did. I can't praise their efforts, in still very difficult circumstances, highly enough. They were still having to wear masks and many of them were actually double-masking. And during our cruise, they were only just beginning to be allowed some very limited shore leave. I really hope that will continue and improve going forward as they certainly deserve it.
    To sum up:
    Overall, this was a great trip. The itinerary was fabulous and I would happily do it again. Thanks to everyone who's been reading my rambles. It's been a huge pleasure to relive our experience onboard Odyssey and I will undoubtedly revisit the thread just to remind myself what a good time we had! Doing a blog like this is a great way to look back on your cruise so if you've never done one I would definitely recommend giving it a try. Plus, you'll be providing useful information for other blog users.
    Our next cruise is going to be on Anthem, out of Southampton, to the Canary Isles in late September. Hopefully I will be able to do another blog then. 
    Wishing you all happy cruising in the meantime. 😊

    Rayma got a reaction from Tanner in Best Caribbean Ports for Toddlers (and a little bit about ships)   
    We were on the Odyssey with a 10 month old and agree that the baby splash zone was okay and very nice to have. One negative side is the location in the same area as the main pool: music was played on a nightclub level when the band or the DJ was playing. Not cool for the babies in my opinnion. 😬 Gave Royal feedback, but don’t know if there is anything they can do.

    Rayma got a reaction from Ian Dixon in Swim with pigs   
    Here you go: http://swimmingpigs.photostockplus.com/albums/  On  our tour in december 2019 they told us to take a picture of the sign with the link. I guess they don’t send any links afterwards and I don’t think collected our emails.
    Pictures are quite pricey, but I bought two of them. I was first worried when I didn’t get the link to download the pictures after submiting the payment ? ... the link came after few days by email. Clearly the system is not automatic.
    We were the first group in the morning and I felt the pigs were most interested to swim in the beginning. Many of the pigs had returned to their shelter when the next group (from NCL) came.
    The excrusion was great fun and a highlight of our cruise! Highly recommend!

    Hi all,
    After booking two cruises for december 2019 I decided to do some research about Royals campaigns that happened 2018. History doesn´t maybe repeat it self, but isn´t there a good chance that Royal repeats same kind of campaigns next year? ? I guess many of you have the feeling that some kind ofsale is going on whole the time. Maybe the list below gives an idea of if the "sale" is something extraordinary or just normal.
    The list is made looking a balcony cabin for a 7 day caribbean cruise. Shorter cruises have different discounts and suites normally get bigger savings. But the logic seems to be the same, so the list works for other cabins and shorter cruises as well. 
    Sorry - the date is written day.mont (1.2 = 2 february). For example "cruise planner 30%" means typical cruise planner ”discounts up to 30%” campaign. "kids free" is kids for free.
    Don´t take this listing too seious! ?The dates and information is from this blog and something might be missing.

    Hi all,
    After booking two cruises for december 2019 I decided to do some research about Royals campaigns that happened 2018. History doesn´t maybe repeat it self, but isn´t there a good chance that Royal repeats same kind of campaigns next year? ? I guess many of you have the feeling that some kind ofsale is going on whole the time. Maybe the list below gives an idea of if the "sale" is something extraordinary or just normal.
    The list is made looking a balcony cabin for a 7 day caribbean cruise. Shorter cruises have different discounts and suites normally get bigger savings. But the logic seems to be the same, so the list works for other cabins and shorter cruises as well. 
    Sorry - the date is written day.mont (1.2 = 2 february). For example "cruise planner 30%" means typical cruise planner ”discounts up to 30%” campaign. "kids free" is kids for free.
    Don´t take this listing too seious! ?The dates and information is from this blog and something might be missing.

    Rayma got a reaction from FlowBro Ty in Discount campaigns 2018   
    Hi all,
    After booking two cruises for december 2019 I decided to do some research about Royals campaigns that happened 2018. History doesn´t maybe repeat it self, but isn´t there a good chance that Royal repeats same kind of campaigns next year? ? I guess many of you have the feeling that some kind ofsale is going on whole the time. Maybe the list below gives an idea of if the "sale" is something extraordinary or just normal.
    The list is made looking a balcony cabin for a 7 day caribbean cruise. Shorter cruises have different discounts and suites normally get bigger savings. But the logic seems to be the same, so the list works for other cabins and shorter cruises as well. 
    Sorry - the date is written day.mont (1.2 = 2 february). For example "cruise planner 30%" means typical cruise planner ”discounts up to 30%” campaign. "kids free" is kids for free.
    Don´t take this listing too seious! ?The dates and information is from this blog and something might be missing.
