I am eagerly awaiting Odyssey. It'll be nice, I will have this five night before the family all cruises in December to get myself familiar with her, it'll be my first quantum/ultra class sailing. After sailing Q class a bit I went on Symphony and immediately noticed the layout of cabins isn't as good on Oasis class. Symphony has new decor for sure, but the basic layout including the bathroom is the same as her sisters. The bathroom layout on Q class is the best bathroom I've seen, non-suite of course. cruisellama, Cruising With JT and columbus_cruiser 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to take pics as well. Upon booking I searched online and found that Tony from La Lido Loca who I actively follow stayed in my exact room 6652 on Spectrum of the Seas. So pretty much the same room, different ship. columbus_cruiser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure beats the studio interior cabins on Mariner waaaaay down on deck 2 forward. Think you can feel the breeze from the bow thrusters when they are used in that cabin.

twangster Posted April 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2021 In other news... it seems the Odyssey crew vlogs have stopped. I suspect Royal may have become involved. Quarantine ends May 5 so it's not like they are all busy doing their active jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love breeze but not sure if I'd want the breeze to be coming from bow thrusters in an enclosed room lol...just shows how strong they are.

Yeah I've noticed that as well...not even a video from the original YouTuber Mansur Ashkar in quite some time. I tagged him on an FB post since he is a public Odyssey group saying more videos! And he saw it and acknowledged but hasn't posted anything. I guess we'll see what happens in the coming days but you may be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I commend you That's me! Last week I had the same on four different cruises. This latest price drop puts $100+ in my pocket over a two week period. And that's before any cruise planner price drops. It's only one hundred dollars, but with a few more like this it'll pay for a DX on a short cruise. emmef, PPPJJ-GCVAB, columbus_cruiser and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now , still no check in, no entertainment or activities in the cruise plan for both of the sail dates (the 4-June and the 18) I do hope the crew vaccination issue will be resolved soon.
