I’d feel safe on a ship even without vaccine mandates and without masks as I’m vaxxed , but that’s just me. I understand the policies nevertheless.

Both were Tag Heuer.  No one had a good selections of Rolex or Omega. Boat had like 4 decent Omegas, and Rolexs where all women old models with diamonds...

Expect to have a freaking blast. 

There is a great sports bar on the beach (Highrise area) behind Playa Linda called Carlitos outdoors with lots of tv's and happy hours. 
You can grab a great burger in front of Play Linda at a place called Chicken and Lobster for lunch.  Price is higher than Carlitos but the burger is amazing!
If you take a local bus or taxi  from the port to Eagle Beach (Low Rise Area)  then take the shuttle boat (see the jet ski opertators in front of Paradise Beach Villas on Eagle Beach) you can get dropped off (they just ask for a "tip" for the boat)  at pier in Highrise area at the pier and enjoy Calitos and some shopping if you want.  Then either a taxi or bus back to the port. 
Or you can take the bus right to the Highrise area and skip Eagle Beach but then you would be missing one of the top 5 beaches in the world 🙂 
 

Its a ways off Baby Beach (San Nicholas), Rum Reef (Bar and Grill).   Friendly locals (we were brought there by a local acquaintance).  Great beach, not too many people, the bar has a pool too.  Just bring your stuff.
 

My wife and I will be on odyssey in early December and will be hitting up Aruba and curaçao as part of the itinerary. We have some excursions planned at both but will also have some time to wander as well. Any suggestions on some good local bars with flavor ?

Well at least we can agree that cruising is the bomb despite our first different team allegiances. 

I absolutely love Central Park. Pound for pound the trellis bar is my favorite bar on symphony. It’s just so peaceful and usually upbeat and great for fraternizing.

Oasis is my favorite. She was the last of the Oasis class ships that I tried and I got to experience her fresh out of an Amplification. Symphony is a close 2nd..but I prefer Portside BBQ to Hooked and that's pretty much makes the difference for me. Otherwise they're more alike than different!

Go on Oasis too since the amp.  It has 2 pub singers one in Globe and Atlas and the other plays in Portside BBQ.
This never occurred to me until I was on the Allure and asked our favorite Pub singer Charlie Jourdan if he knew another pub singer we liked.  He replied no and I was like really?? Charlie said that there is only 1 pub singer per ship so we never meet.. 

I guess my post in the other thread was deleted. I will try again. I sailed symphony previously and was Blown away. I will be sailing odyssey in December and am quite excited to sail a quantum (ultra) class ship. I know matt has said His favorite ship in the fleet is harmony previously. I am curious if that is still the case after he sailed odyssey. 

My wife and I sailed symphony back in November 2019 and got the DBP for 46/day. It was some random sale. She watched it like a hawk for months and it never went lower. We felt like that was a great deal for an oasis class ship. 

Absolutely awesome video matt, i watched all of it as I will be on odyssey in December. Very helpful for getting a feel for where things are.  I’m going to take advantage of breakfast at cafe 270 for sure.  Man I can’t wait to see odyssey!! Coco cay video was fantastic too. Keep up the good work.

is this the mad hatter you are referring to that retired ? He was great if so 

Crew Cabin Tour vlog is going live this weekend.

Look, it's a long time between now and this Friday when I go on Mariner...

Oh stop it matt, you go on more cruises in a month than I go on in a year 😄
