The t-shirt sales are pretty good and we almost always take advantage, but another reason is I haven't been able to wear this t-shirt for over a year.
I only wear it on a cruise because it wouldn't make any sense to anyone walking around on land. It gets a pretty good reaction! ?
 

It would need to show up for the cruises they know will cancel prior to restart.

There will be a sale beginning May 27

This is my first time commenting on your pool project.  Just read through all the pages...and now cannot wait to see the finished product.  Looking good!

Check out the Roll Call section.  Looks like there is at least one sailing in August with a few 'bloggers' taking the trip.

Still promoting November sailings as of today

Today was the time consuming process of filling in the gaps - cutting stones to match the curves of the pool, spa, and firepit. They have a little more to go plus finishing the sides and adding a couple steps. Now that we can see how much room we actually have to work with, we can start to think about furniture. It was a little hard to visualize when it was all dirt.

But you can wear a WOW band on your wrist.

When Explorer was in port a few months ago I dropped by the port.  My phone connected to the ship wifi automatically.  It brought a grin to my face...

One of my favorite activities leading up to a cruise has always been watching the webcams, like https://www.portmiamiwebcam.com/.  I enjoy watching the ships ? come in and seeing all the traffic at the port as passengers debark and the new ones arrive to board.  Watching the ships sail out of port with people waving and holding up signs and displaying their tropical drinks ? always helps pump up my excitement. I think my family tires of it, though, as I tend to start six months or more before the cruise. ?
These days watching the ships leaving with no passengers on balconies, no music drifting in from the upper decks, no sign of life, really, is heartbreaking.  I'm glad we're finally seeing a bright spot in the future for sailing and I'm very much looking forward to our Southern Caribbean cruise in October.

@twangster, I get excited everytime I’m notified that you replied here.  I know you will be the first to break the news about the new Odyssey sailings being published.

I'm going to say no hoping someone at Royal wants to prove me wrong. 

First time was September of 2002.  It looked nothing like it does now, but I loved every second on that island.  Not surprisingly, it was also the first COCO LOCO I ever drank....

2009 for my college senior trip! My first ever cruise where I became hooked! We were on Majesty for 3 or 4 days (Nassau, Coco Cay and Key West)! For an inside cabin I think I paid $438 (also no drinking even if you were 21 because I went to a private Christian college and we had to represent the school ??) We had to take a boat from the ship to the island! I loved it then but glad they made some changes!
My husband and I went back in Jan of 2020 and I love how they developed the island! I love it more now! We had a blast and cannot wait to go back! We both had a blast and loved the swim up bar at the Oasis pool!!

Coco Cay Honeymoon May 1994 

1000 crew members is pretty close to fully staffed.

Had to drop by to see her today.

YouTuber hard at work...



Dozens of crew waving to us from their balconies.




Blogger still hard at work.


 

Just read in a Facebook group that entertainers are signing contracts to join the ship in July. ? Yay! 2 parents posted that their kids have been called back.  Hiro, Hairspray and Flight. 

Will this be the day we hear about the new Odyssey sailings???

I believe there are quite a few of us with bookings and many of them are for this year.  Mine isn't until November 2022 so it coincides with my trip out to Tucson for a wedding.

That makes me so sad since my cruise on Vision was cancelled due to them repositioning/sailing out of Bermuda! ???

Well, so have I

According to the cruise history in my account I've already sailed the Inaugural Odyssey cruise.

I didn't get any points, but as far as I am concerned... Been there!  Done that!
