Yeah sorry about the food pic. I might just skip those all together lol.

 

11 of us on the ship. Only 3 of us in a suite. We have most of the dining where we can all go. I have at least 1 day planned for CK, and breakfast tomorrow. 

 

Anyway, it was way too early to go to sleep so I did some wondering around solo, got some decent night pics.

We are having a blast and the weather is amazing!

Daughter was too short for flow rider. After some convincing I got her to go down the water slides. She loved them, i got 4 rotations in the bowl too. Tips from the lifeguard helped!

 

Daughter won the jackpot in the ticket machine too.

Regarding Coco Beach Club.  The prices for the day pass have gone waaay up on our trip.  We will be there Feb 11.  They started out at about $64.99 PP then went through a few iterations up and down. I got ours for $50.99 and then the prices started to go up.   My guess is that they are starting to sell out for that date. They went as high as $94.99 PP and are currently at $88.99.  
 

The moral here is....if you want a day pass to Coco Beach, do not wait to buy them.

For the Odyssey Inaugural sailing (which is the first time I will visit Coco Cay) the prices are as follows to the Beach Club:

Day pass - $79

Cabana - $1099

Floating Cabana - $1499

Prices are the same for my Harmony sailing in December 2020.

Sorry for the hijack @bossdog421

That's identical to what my pricing is. Overwaters Cabanas were 1499 when I scored mine and then  jumped up to 1649.

 

Very excited to be one of the first in one. Cabanas are well worth it to me when it comes to how I enjoy a beach day!

 

Current cruise status report: nap on the balcony before formal night

Speaking of Hijacking, Heather and I were talking about seeing if some RCblog insiders want to pool together for a floating cabana for Odyssey Inaugural. 4 couples together wound be 375. When you factor in what you would pay for the Day pass it works out to 215 per couple more than a day pass.

@bossdog421, I agree cabanas are my type of beach relaxing!

I think that's a great idea.  We already have a south beach cabana booked already but at a ridiculously cheap price comparatively..otherwise I'd be all over that plan.

That's what we were thinking. I know some of us have already purchased day passes, so we shall see.

Got a few pics of Fine Line.  Those will have to wait until after I'm back home so I can sort through them better.

 

After the show some of the group wanted pizza. I'm sorry sorrento's just isnt good. I hated pizza until I moved to jersey though.

 

I went and got a Kraken Lava Flow. Oh man it was good. Then I rode up and down the elevator with the guy and his piano... it was a blast.

20200128_122843.thumb.jpg.ef74509ad6ceaa9ce974a4d029bf3162.jpgLots of swaying on this cruise. Started feeling kinda nauseous. Of course it happened right in the middle of our lunch at Jamie's Italian. I stayed for the pics of dessert but didnt eat any of them.  The waiter was great and wrapped up some brand new ones for us to take back. 

 

Attempting a nap with some dramamine. So far unsuccessful, but the nausea is going away.

Use an app to shrink the photos (the message boards don't show them at full size anyway) and the uploads will go quicker.  I used an ios app called Batch Resize.  Not saying it is the best but it worked well enough that I didn't look for another one.

You don't even have to go through all of this - if you just double click on the photo once you insert it but before you hit "submit" you can change the size.

That won't speed up the upload, though. The resizer program lets you shrink the photos before uploading, so that part goes faster and doesn't choke on the slow speed of VOOM. Since he's OK with just waiting for the uploads to go by slowly while he does, you know... actual fun things on board... no need for resizing of any stripe. ?

To quote Breaking Benjamin... "Never again!!" Food coma level went from 0 to 10 after eating one of those!

No more pics today but saw 1887 it was great!

The shows have all been amazing. 

Since we stuffed ourselves at Jamie's at lunch we skipped the mdr. Went to Windjammer to go with a small meal... yeah i had 2 plates of Mongolian. Good thing I haven't been queasy half the day!  

 

Tomorrow is the 10 year Anniversary!  First we have  St. Maarten, we have a tour booked just me and the wife. Daughter is going with nana (aunt) and grandma and the other 2 families.  This will be the first time we can actually spend just the 2 of us. 

 

Then the vow renewal in our suite! Followed by 11 of us at the habichi table. 

 

Going to be a great day!

Multi part post because I can't  sleep. Rain, lots of it,   is called for our coco cay day as of right now. Pray to the sun gods for me!!!

 

What an amazing day.

 

The other 9 did a catamaran excursion. Me and the wife got the day to ourselves. We did the St Maarten bus tour. Very interesting but odd at the same time. St Maarten is hard to explain,  beautiful and sad at the same time. The last hurricane did a number and parts of it seem too poor to rebound. There were also 6 ships docked so or was jamming everywhere. 20200129_072729.thumb.jpg.8a53295ea7ef7796ec7fee21f7d15bcb.jpg

We were the biggest but a couple of these werent small.

After that we rushed back to do our vow renewal. I had to sit in the suite deck while they all got ready. I reread my vows, and madE a few last minute adjustments at the bar with vodka on the rocks. The  loft attendants and concierge helped out with some decor and a cheese plate. It was amazing! My sister in law did an amazing job officiating the vow renewal in the suite. Most of those pics will have to wait as we used a better camera than my phone. Our daughter was the flower girl and my wife came down the loft stairs in a beautiful dress and we had a beautiful ceremony. We were about 15 minutes to late for a sunset back ground. we made up for it with pics around the ship! We even got a pic with the cruise director Mark right when they finished taping a show.

Then off to Izumi Habichi. And oh my god. The food, the entertainment, and sake were all top notch. I was seriously blown away... and completely stuffed! I highly recommend Izumi! Best hibachi for the experience hands down. They let us do Sake Bombs but we had to drop them in, that was disappointing but I can understand the rule.

Grandma was gracious enough to watch the kid for the night. So Off to rising tide, a few chocolate martinis for the wife and a few espresso martinis for me (no wonder I cant sleep) was a perfect night cap! We went back to the room for a bit ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) then closed down the suite deck jacuzzi.

Jackie was beat but I cant sleep so I explored the ship with noone on it. And got some amazing pics.

 

I'll attempt to organize the next set of pics better. For now here is the port say at st maartin and the room decorations.
