“He said, she said”. I hate to be so harsh, but this can only be blamed on one person and that person is you. Next time you should set a reminder on an Apple Watch or iPhone so that this does not happen again in the future. Once you are off the ship then you are on your own. I guess you could be stuck in worse places….

Here’s the lowdown. 
1. Assumes you and whomever you travel with is able body.
2. No major customs issue hold up ship in PC from arrival.
3. Get off the ship WAAAAAAAYYYYY before 8:30am. More like grab the luggage and be downstairs on the departure deck ready to walk off the ship before 7am. 
 
4. A game plan is in place for a vehicle to get to by 8am and be headed West on the Beeline before 9am.
5. No major traffic accidents on I-95 (if so, transfer to Turnpike).
6. Arrive at Port of Miami between 12-1pm and board the ship.
The rush hour traffic will not impact you because it will end before you reach South Florida in the 10-11am timeframe.
**** Note: disregard everything I just said if you plan to flip the trip and go from Miami to PC on a Thursday in the AM because it most likely will cost you a cruise. 
 

This has ChatGPT all over it. I call BS on the entire thing. I mean, Lauren appears to be everything but an astronaut (she might be that as well??)

Great ship! She’s the oldest namesake Oasis class vessel and some wear and tear is to be expected. The Amp suited this ship well and it was outfitted with the latest and greatest at the time. I agree, the crew and shows are top notch on this ship! We are sailing her for NYE again this year to the Southern Caribbean which will be amazing!

We have done Thanksgiving cruises the last 15ish years and I can tell you that it’s the best time to sail! The food for Thanksgiving is not great at all but the overall vacation experience makes up for it. Freedom is amazing and the Playmakers is going to be a great spot to catch some games. Enjoy

Yep, this would make complete sense considering the retrofit has been done in the location already. The Solarium playmakers makes no sense at all in any way. 

Very sad. At some point this litigation will force active countermeasures on all ships. It won’t be long before suicide nets are deployed around the perimeter of the ship. What a horrible way to go between the onset of hypothermia and the hungry sharks. 

Considering it shares space with the Solarium, I highly doubt that. I believe they will remove the Samba grill and possibly replace Sabor on the Boardwalk with Playmakers. 

Haha! Pretty much same here. We only go to the MDR the week of Thanksgiving with my entire extended family because it’s entertaining. I don’t think I’ve ever once had a decent meal. There’s so much food across the board of a cruise ship that dinner is not a big deal. 

Agree with this 100%.  The horrible Thanksgiving meal we had on FR or Nav (can’t remember but I think it was Nav) is the reason that we quit going to the MDR for years !

That’s good news. We are headed out of NJ in July and plan to be at the port early regardless.

Same here. Vacation starts at 11am on boarding day and ends at 7:00am on debarkation day. We are usually in the car and well on our way home by 7:15am.

Yes, Fort Lauderdale is a world away from Miami (traffic wise) during the week. The trek from South to North during rush hour is a much better scenario then starting from Miami. 

I found Odyssey to be one of the better ships in the fleet! I guess opinions will always be across the board but it was a refreshing change from Oasis class. The sportsplex with Playmakers was a game changer and the music hall was best in the fleet (IMHO). We enjoyed the Southern Caribbean route on Odyssey and would do it again in a heartbeat. The 270 cafe was a great replacement for Park Cafe and the MDR was “decent”.

Last week by 10:30 we had already toured Icon and had a sandwich in hand from the Pearl Cafe! I guess the FL ports just have the logistics under control. I can’t stress enough how boarding times are fluff. They don’t even bother putting the signs up any longer in Miami.
