It sounds like they are going to make them short enough to fit under the bridge in Tampa. Im excited about that. I really like sailing out of there.

I’m not the best at sharing screenshots, but I think this will work.

I just got an update from my travel agent that my Labadee stop for my January Adventure cruise was changed to Coco Cay. I was so hoping for Grand Turk, as Coco Cay will not be warm in January.

We've done speedboats through Royal Caribbean in Cozumel. Very fun with snorkeling. Highly recommend it.

Try booking w/ a travel agent. Our travel agent is able to get group discount rates that are cheaper than what you can see online. We can usually get to pick our rooms at less of a price than the GTY option.

On Odyssey the one pool was closed one day because of vomit. I didn't ask who made the vomit. But I thought it very well could have been an adult.

It seems odd that this happened on March 7th and he is still not able to go back to India. That was 5 full weeks ago!

This could happen, but really it's not as big of a deal as reading this thread leads one to believe. We met a lot of different people on the elevator. We always had a conversation starter w/"don't get too close to the elevator buttons, or we'll have to stop at all the floors". Yes, sometimes we stopped on some extra floors. Twice we even got to ride in the elevator w/ the surprise piano player! We enjoyed the journey. We were on vacation. The elevator can be one of your favorite memories of the ship. It's all in the perspective.

I did Odyssey for my 1st quantum class ship just a couple of months ago. Both my husband and myself liked this ship better than any other ship we have been on. We loved the 270 theater, the music hall and the solarium with those 4 big hot tubs that were never crowded. We too thought it was the best MDR food we've ever had. We ate in the MDR 7 of our 8 nights on board. We always sat in those back sections of the Windjammer that were never crowded. The one thing we missed in the quantum design, was the outdoor area to walk around the boat on the 5th deck (I believe). It didn't go around the whole ship. We like to walk laps to burn calories. We had to turn around at the end and walk back and forth. But, that wouldn't keep me from coming back. I hope to do another quantum class again, someday.

My 24 year old son appreciated the Hyperlink activities on our last cruise. He was there w/ his 15, 16 and 17 year old brothers and it gave him a chance to meet people his own age. It wasn't a place for hooking up or hitting on people. He also attends a young adult group at our church for 18-30 year olds. It is perfectly normal to group 18-25 year olds together.

You can do it more than once, but I never have. I'm not sure if you can book it yourself in the app more than once, though. We recently did the pickle ball clinic on Oddysey, and afterwards I had mentioned we were going to sign up for laser tag. One of the activities directors, Spencer, signed us up for the time slot we wanted, but then he was going to sign up for an additional slot, if we wanted it. We only wanted to do it once, though. So I know you can have more than one reservation at a time.

II saw the posted screen shots for "4 people". It mentions that you could prepay the gratuity, and you selected that option. That should be $504. Not $252. Gratuity is $18 per person per day. Your final price really should have been a "tip off" that something is too low. This was clearly a price for 2 people and not 4. This is an Easter week cruise on Oasis. You are not going to find a price for 4 people that close to sail date. Maybe in 2019, but not now. I frequently input different amounts of rooms and people on the website, too. I have booked for anywhere from 2 of us in one room to 8 of us in 4 rooms. The Royal website often still says the last thing you put in when you change it up the next time. Just because it still says 4 people and now you're looking at 2 people doesn't mean they're going to honor what it says in the left column. The prepay gratuity shows it is was only for 2 people, along with the low price. But as others have said, use a travel agent to do the actual booking. They can help you put the names right and it doesn't cost more.

I was on Odyssey just recently and thought the same thing. We talked to the "Washy Washy lady" and she showed us that they are full but get stuck and often only dispense really slowly. The one at Cafe 270 was always a problem, but the worker there showed us it was full, just really slow at dispensing.

In case you weren't aware, there won't be any of the Super Bowl commercials. It is very difficult to watch the same 4 awful commercials for 4 hours straight. That said, I do enjoy seeing the Super Bowl on the cruise. We just booked explorer for Super Bowl next year.

We did have 2 cover bands on Odyssey last week that were very good. The first was Beatlemaniacs. We had seen them before on Wonder so passed on this sailing. Not to mention NFL divisional rounds were playing at the same time. The second band was Rookie and they were excellent. Neither cover band played in the Music Hall venue. Both only performed in the main theater.
