If they only clean once a day they had better leave us a lot of towels. I have never had a towel dry fast enough to use a second time. I don't mind reusing a towel, I do at home, but I refuse to use a damp towel to dry off with. I would also wager there will be a LOT more plates, cups, etc, in the hallways.

Bet they will love Sorrento's. Where else can you walk up and get pizza for gratis? I hope y'all have a wonderful first cruise. And, don't forget to have the kids do the duck hunt.

Not sure this will relate given the new terminal. On our September cruise from Galveston the the boarding process wasn't horrible but not very smooth and the disembarkation we had, off Liberty, was total chaos with no supervision. If they don't have the staff there to enforce procedure it doesn't work. Over the past few years going out of Florida and California we did not experience the same thing we did a few months ago.

We have used our travel mugs on all three cruises this year without a look or comment. Well, have had a number of people ask about them and where we bought them. They aren't big, holds about 16ozs, so nowhere near the dispensing spouts. In case anyone wants to look these up put this in your search...kaforto 16oz Insulated Coffee Travel Mug Stainless Steel Vacuum Coffee Cup

This will be our first on Odyssey and looking forward to it. Anyone else?

I am boarding when y'all bring the ship back. Would someone on this cruise report back as to whether they have the bag on the bed with the ironing/pressing special? Loved that on earlier cruises this year but they didn't have it on the Allure in September. Hope y'all have an enjoyable cruise.

We bought two insulated mugs for coffee when the same issue came up after the return from Covid...we love them as they keep the coffee hot for a long time and are leak proof.

We are on the same sailing and also our first time on Odyssey. 31 days to go!!

Received two of the three still due to me yesterday and both were applied to a card I did not use to book them in the beginning but added later for other purchases. So, still have one refund to go and thinking that since this is in the same category, internet package, that I am going to have to call.

Just booked some dining on our January cruise, payment is already on my card yet the refunds, processed cancelations 3 weeks ago, still aren't showing. Their programing is definitely skewed to their favor.

Interesting...given that offsite parking in Nashville has doubled in cost over the past 2 years I was hoping they might serve BNA but they don't. Thanks for the info.

Are there hotels near the port that will, for a fee, allow you to leave your vehicle while you cruise?

I usually book ours long in advance, our January 23 cruise was booked in December 21...always like to locate close to the elevators and as has been mentioned, just the usual hallway chatter. So yes, you will likely have more people passing your room as opposed to being at the back...but it has never been a problem for us. I do hope you find it to be as we have and that you have a wonderful cruise!

I too crossed over to D on a cruise and alas the thing I got was the knowledge that on the next cruise I would get the new bene's.

It's now 14 days from the cancelations on my previous internet purchase to my CC. Rebooked charges went right through. I did get the refund a few days ago on the Debit Card charges for other cancelations on dining.

Booked my internet on all my 2023 cruises, paid more than I did last year even with the 'black friday' sale. As for those who don't believe in getting it on a cruise, I still have a business that I need to keep in touch with so for some it's a necessity and convenience.

I have two sets of refunds...one to a debit and the other to a credit card. The debit card credits came through overnight and shows this morning. 12 days and waiting for the CC refund.

I use an airport shuttle to get to Webster, and also to the ship, but i don't think I can get my sister or BNL to pick you up.

Yep...and you can even hail them as they are going through the downtown district. Very easy and convenient setup there.

As of today it's 10 days with no credits issued but the new charges went through immediately.

Thanks...I have sent her the info...and since we are sailing on Odyssey in January...have noted it for myself as well.

A friend, new to Royal, is getting onboard Odyssey this coming Saturday...is Showgirls a Broadway production show? If not, what do they have along that line? We haven't been on Odyssey yet, will soon, and I tried to look up on entertainment but didn't see anything...just said to wait.

This is our first Quantum and the excitement from others about the ship is what prompted me to book it.

Black Friday sale just ended and today the same deals are showing for Cyber Monday. Their countdown is on! But likely to be extended if history serves. I do recall a sale years ago with a countdown, it was a Sunday night and I couldn't reach my TA so I panicked and booked. Next morning got an email saying the sale had been extended. LOL

BTDT including one right before Christmas last year. Did enjoy them but since we have already experienced cruises before, during and right after (cruised through NYE) we have moved on. Not likely to do another but we do hope you have a wonderful time!!
