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

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! ❤️

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. 

Polywood sounds like some parrot theme park.

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.

I just clicked the double fast forward arrow to the oldest posts out of curiosity. There are some hidden gems.

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

Flight was super uneventful! Yay! Got our luggage without issues. This is our biggest hold up:

This has not changed. 2x points for JS is still a thing.

Definitely not me! @tonyfsu21 thank you for sharing. I thought our view upon approach looked a little cloudy. I thought it was fog lol

Who knew ?  I guess that's what happens when you don't have cable and only rely on streaming TV....you miss the local news stuff ! 
I thought it was just cloudy yesterday ! We did have rain, on and off, so I just thought that was why it was so gloomy !  I don't care...it helped with keeping the temps down.   Whatever it takes, I guess...

On the plus side... Saharan dust helps kill tropical storms so it's not all bad... it's just better when it doesn't actually affect FL air quality.

Fast forward to June 2025. I wouldn’t change a thing, Argentina Residenza in Rome and Hilton Molino Stucky in Venice were both ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
