Just an FYI. Mami traffic is rough. We left our hotel at 9:15. And got there around 10:15. We had 11:30 which is the earliest time but they board the ship at 10:30. We were onboard around 10:39. We were B2B and on our second leg people boarded as early as 10:20.

@OCSC Mike Since you hang most of your stuff, the storage really might not be an issue.

I am so jelly....... You had a wonderful experience on a new ship, don't get me wrong I am happy for you, just sad for me that Icon was a bust. Also that you will be able to cruise in April. I keep hoping that prices might go down but I can't justify $500pp r/t airfare for a 4/5 night cruise that the taxes, fees and grats don't equal even one plane ticket.

I have noticed that anything under 3k points is almost a throwaway with club royale now. But it seems like the gty interiors on Oasis class ships are CP interiors now.

I doubt it since each cruise is a separate reservation.

I didn't need glasses until I got covid. I can see far really well, its up close that I have issues. So technically I just have reading glasses as my prescription is low. But I wear them everyday day and my prescription hasn't changed in five years. I definitely feel like once you cross that "40" mark your body changes. I get cold now and staying up late is a rare occurrence. We had a late Aqua show and a midday nap was needed. Also can't I eat or drink like I used to. Which is why I have a regimented diet for my real life and snap off on cruises and vacations.

Those firecracker rolls are now my go-to. Just the right amount of spice for me, as I like spicy just not overly.

We did Icon recently and imho the UDP is wasted on Icon......I am a picky eater and prefer the specialty restaurants. But the ones on Icon are lackluster. With the exception of Izumi's, which is always good, the only one we liked was Hooked. Which is funny because all the other experiences at Hooked haven't been good. I found myself in the WJ and the AquaDome more often than not.

@JohnK6404 Attack of the Killer tomatoes I used to get heartburn bad. But I started taking pre/probiotics and now I only feel full. It has been a game changer for me. I know you are a meat eater and usually too much meat does it for me. I did have too much chili mac one day on Icon and felt a little indigestion but that also could have been the extreme rocking/sea sickness as well.

Ugh @JohnK6404 That's the no bone-having lady that creeped me out on Icon

Also as I solidify my Jan cruise plans, I realized that I am going to tack on a bunch of shorties to make it worthwhile because I want to sail Utopia and she is on them stupid shorties.

People be rude af on the planes. When we were flying to FLL and back from MIA they said no coats in the overhead and one bag pp and if need be gate check the others. People were putting coats, duty free, hat bags and their personal items in the bin. The flight attendants had to remove the items but that's unnecessary hassle and time.

I have heard from quite a few cruisers that Mario can be rude.....only to then to see him later and he is quite nice. I think that is the "fame" aspect, when he is out and about doing whatever he puts on his charm. But when he is just "himself" he is in fact himself. Also I didn't know you could walk to Atlantis from the cruise port.

Man its those 7nt cruises......too short. You get there, have a nosh of a little pasta, maybe some sammies and leafs and a few drinks, and then it is over. I hope you sleep well and that your travel home is uneventful.

Wait, is there just a table of cruise ducks for sale????

I loved sitting on the outer deck, the views are great. Looks like good food tonight.

The person who gets tired of seeing beautiful water pics, shouldn't be on a cruise blog.

First of you know i love you, its okay that you don't like baked Alaska. But wow.........I just got the scale of the plate of leafs you be eating .......its massive, no wonder people were stopping you. But also that lady be entitled. Idk why people expect for others to know stuff like they can read minds. The crew probably asked her several times was she ready and that's why she moved back. Stupid lady.

That risotto looks baby spit up, not quite poop but when you give a baby the Gerber cereal and blueberry anything. Also how dare you not eat any of my favorite dessert, you could have had a bite of the baked Alaska

Happy cruise day @Jamesszy94 I don't like to eat onions. I cook with them and take them out. Flavor is great, its a texture thing.

I have noticed that the conversion rate is way better on any ship that isn't Icon. $800 for 2K points is great! You are only at .40 a point. My best so far has been like .50 a point and it was on Freedom. I just got off of Icon and it was $1.50 , that was the worst I have ever done. Hopefully the surgery goes well and you can get your retirement ball rolling.

Ooooooh beef wellington. Flamingos!!!!!! So funny enough Ang loves sweet Caroline and didn't know he was singing about an underage girl

I did not stay in a suite when I sailed any of the quantum class ships but I do know they offer the same amenities for suites as Oasis and Icon class. But I have interacted with enough suite guest in the casino to know HH exist on Odyssey. I also believe that Odyssey uses one of the bars nearby (probably the WJ bar) to get drinks for suite guest during HH. So you should be fine.

So now I'm wondering are they two dudes?.....if so why would they show each other??? Those shenanigans are wild. Also cookies dough cheesecake

I love that Spice cafe I just really like how you have no yutes, can get plates of leafs, your cooler can hold actual snacks to keep. You deserve all this wonderfulness. But on another note......what brand of water is the hh?
