we did a last minute booking for Odyssey on 11/28.  Only check in time available was 3pm   

will keep checking to see if something earlier opens up, but pretty bummed about it.  Not sure what we will do once the hotel kicks us out.  Maybe grab lunch then join the cattle call outside?  Will miss my traditional lunch on board to get my cruise started.

Thanks everyone for the info

Anyone know if Odyssey has the Coke  FreeStyle machine?  I expect so but want o verify before buying soda package.

Saw this on Facebook:

some weird terminology talking about ships rather than lines, perhaps it's just because it's Jamaican reference.  Looks like it's for real though when looking at some itineraries in 2018 on Allure.  Is this old news and I just wasn't paying attention?

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but thought you would like to know foxnews.com reads the blog

Thanks! Guacamole for Christmas!

Does anyone have this? We did the class in November on Liberty and can't find the recipe they gave us.

Any itinerary in the summer will be more expensive than its fall/spring/winter counterpart. More families vacation then so demand goes up and prices go up.

We just got back from St Thomas and wanted to put 2 big enthusiastic thumbs up for the Secret Sands excursion.  It was phenomenal.  We did this excursion that included the trip to Smith Bay Park/Lindquist beach, beach chairs, and drinks while at the excursion.  We absolutely loved it.  There were very few people there (the guide say excursion was capped at 50 people and there was no one there but our excursion).  it was a beautiful beach.  The sand was soft and fluffy, the water was crystal clear, and the view was fantastic (see included picture).  The only thing was that we wished it lasted longer. 

Does anyone know if Oasis still has Pets at Sea. We got our kids stuffed animals last time we were on Oasis but it's been replaced by Candy Beach on the deck plans.

Disney adding two new ships, 1st expected in 2021. To be a bit bigger than dream/fantasy

Got the email for European sailing for crown and anchor.

Looks like Freedom is headed to Barcelona for western Mediterranean itineraries.

Our TA called for us and they still say 2 and 6

This cruise is all weird. The cruise planner still reads like a 7 day. No entertainment listed for the extra two nights. Still looking forward to it though.
