These cats want to meow and pay you money. I turn the volume to max and my brother can hear my wins from the other side of the casino. It’s a loud meow.

To add to this, the drive is ~45 min to FCO

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. 

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.

I feel like they went bananas already long ago. Way before Royal Beach Club. 

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.

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. 

Have a safe flight. Enjoy La Bamba! PS: It’s a bit dusty down here.

We will let the initial hype fade away and check this place out in January on Wonder. Star of the seas does not go to Nassau on its NYE cruise so we will miss out on the grand opening but that may be for the better. The cabana prices have officially gone bananas. 

Raise a glass to Freedom! ⚓️

It’s cruise day! Headed to the port shortly! 

Yes! Especially this 17th street location. The one we went to in Plantation the salsa was hit and miss. 
We slept solid overnight! 
Like @tonyfsu21 said, several locations in South Florida but from my Google searches, the 17th street location seems to be the most “south”. Still a bit far from Miami. Which is why we pick FLL sometimes even when sailing out of Miami.

Last night we had a great filet in CK.  I’m always amazed at what the waiters recommend (which wasn’t the filet) as imo the Filet is the best thing all week.  One surprising thing was I was charged for each glass of wine in CK (reminder in a JS and using diamond drinks). Other ships have charged me for one and then will fill up my glass.  We’ll see if that happens again tonight.  
Headed to the pub after dinner.  We really like the vibe of sitting outside this pub and seeing everyone.  It’s a larger pub with quite a bit of seating. Singer was just ok.  Unlike the cruises out of the US, I don’t think he knows any country songs and he wasn’t asking for requests.
Passed through the Straits of Messina this morning between 8 and 9.  
I couldn’t figure out our iFly reservations.  They didn’t show up on my cruise compass and by the time I found my receipt we had 20 minutes to wake up the DS18 to get there.  He enjoyed it.  The entire process took an hour.  DD14 will go later today.  I waited too long and couldn’t get reservations together.  
@tonyfsu21  I think that’s our excursion.  I need to do a bit of work today and so sitting by the pool working.  
 

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 

La Bamba! ❤️

Polywood sounds like some parrot theme park.
