I have been seeking out the kitty cats that meow in the bonus lately. The wins can be epic when they start sticking with multipliers. Normally my machine selections are completely random with no thought put into it whatsoever. Pop around the casino, change up bet denominations and hope for the best. There is no win formula, it’s all luck.

Ughhh...I would hate the beach to be first on a tour with no way to shower and change after!
The water is so cold you probably wouldn’t want to do more than get your feet wet. It’s bone chilling cold water.

I'm visiting Rome next month, and I’ll definitely add That’s Amore and Bucatino to my dinner list! I can’t wait to try them both.
Make sure to make reservations via WhatsApp, these two spots were very busy by 8pm.

Yes, I will give you the scoop. We had a 1:50 at FCO and left the port at 8:30am with zero issues (it’s Sunday, minimum traffic). I can tell you the port is very efficient and we were docked by 5:30 with the earliest walk offs just before 7am. IMO you are safe with an 8am. Just outside the terminal you will see the drivers all with signs looking for their passengers. Once you identify the driver it’s a very quick exit. Enjoy.
To add to this, the drive is ~45 min to FCO

@tonyfsu21 or anyone who recently debarked in Civitavecchia…can you please let me know the earliest you can disembark or what time you booked your transfer for and what time you arrived at FCO?
I am looking at CabRoma and have a 7am or 8 am choice. My flight is 12:20. Im wondering if the 7am is good to go. We dock on a Monday.
thank you!

Looks delicious!
The next time we sail out of Miami, we'll have to find the way there! We could not make it work last time (seemed far away from our hotel).
There’s multiple locations throughout South Florida and they are all the same.

Amazingly consistent, right? I have literally never had a bad meal there.

I sell patio furniture for a living and tell everyone who wants stuff that lasts to buy Poly Lumber furniture with a good warranty because it will last longer than us. If you live near the ocean it is the only way to go bc that salt air destroys everything.
Yep, after untold thousands of dollars flushed down the toilet, the Tonyfsu21’s have a backyard full of only Polywood. So far, so good.
-
Yep, it looks cheap but the salt air ruins anything you put outside (and quick). I have tried just about everything in my backyard and after a year it starts to fall apart. Polywood is literally the thing other than that cheap looking wicker furniture that will not fall apart.

The pub on odyssey has a small appetizer menu which I don’t recall seeing elsewhere in the fleet. The pulled pork nachos and fried pickles are pretty great with a draft beer. Happy hour in the pub! Not sure if you are doing the same tour we did in Santorini a couple weeks ago but it started at a volcanic sand beach club w/ Greek lunch. Good thing you have a tour because making the attempt to get off the ship w/o one is a major hassle. Enjoy

I was discussing with my wife today if Quantum of the seas will be the best Royal Caribbean ship they've made or if Oasis/Allure will retain the distinction of being the best.
Amusing to look back at some early posts from 2013.

They also use to give double points to JS but they changed that I believe.
This has not changed. 2x points for JS is still a thing.

Does anyone have a recommendation for Hiltons in Rome and also Venice? We want the full experience at both cities prior to our cruise on Odyssey so location will be key. Thank you.
Fast forward to June 2025. I wouldn’t change a thing, Argentina Residenza in Rome and Hilton Molino Stucky in Venice were both
️️️️️
-
Hotel Argentina Residenza was excellent and a 15-20 min walk to just about everything in Rome. Highly recommended if you are looking for a boutique type hotel experience with a personalized excellent staff. Price = Expensive but worth it.

@asquared17 can relax. We made it to DTW and now sitting at the gate. Boarding in about 50 mins
Not sure when Hubby got everything together because I tried to go to bed at 9pm last night. Tried, being the key word there. Normal pre-flight anxiety (not because I fear flying but I fear flight cancellations) kept me up, and then one freeloader came home from the movies along with many friends and decided to hop in the pool until about 1am. They are good kids but they still create some noise. And my bedroom faces the pool so sleep was basically a lost cause last night. Going to try to catch some sleep on the plane. Hubby is already out like a light next to me right now
Have a safe flight. Enjoy La Bamba! PS: It’s a bit dusty down here.

I have been on 10 cruises, including 2 celebrity out of Bayonne and have never ever been asked what my boarding time is. 9 of the 10 were after covid. I usually get 10:30 but a couple times I got later boarding times and still was never asked because I'm always there by 10:15 to 10:30.
This is applicable on the other side of the pond as well. The Civitavecchia port outside Rome does not use boarding times. We arrived to the port at 9:30 and were on Odyssey by 10:15am. FYI- This is a very efficient port almost at Miami/PC level efficient. The waiting area also has a cafe and convenience store (my kids were all over it).

Showcase sailings. Does that mean it's like a ship preview and that some of the shows and restaurants are not available yet? We are sailing on Star November 2025 and November 2026 so we figured all the new ship bugs will all be ironed out by then. Also early November coincides perfectly with our sons school vacation schedule.
A showcase sailing sounds like a sailing that @Matt and crew will be on.

Heading to Odyssey in August. Curious how smokey the casino was with so few using it. Were the smokers using it as a smoking lounge without gambling?
It was no where near as smoke filled as the Caribbean voyages, that’s for sure. I would have guessed the opposite considering the European smoking culture. Maybe the stars just aligned for us? I’m really curious what you see in August.

While I don't expect major changes to C&A anytime soon, Royal does have some issues that will require changes at some point. For example, there's crowding in the crown and concierge lounges. How will Royal adjust for this? Time will tell. Meanwhile, I don't want to give ideas that we won't like!
Another reason to take full advantage of the Med season. There was literally nobody in the crown lounge on Odyssey for 7 days.
