Odyssey Of The Seas - Chris Wong


Recommended Posts

Hey Chris,  any chance you'll still be the casino host on Odyssey next March? We're on the March 12th sailing and would love to meet you. I frequent the casino too so we typically always meet the casino host anyways. But always nice to meet someone we've followed on YouTube.

So, it seems like the majority of passengers here on Odyssey, were originally supposed to be cruising on Independence.

 

From everyone I've spoke to so far, they have not been disappointed with the ship change.

We also were suppose to be on Independence.  I have no problem with the ship change.?

Will also be on her in April 2022 as it was a L&S from this year.

I'm one of them and when I realized the change I couldn't stop joyously screaming for the whole day!

Talk about an upgrade!!!!

Thanks Chris! Great video as always!

A couple minor points. 

Having been on 3 cruises this year, each port has slightly different rules.  Back in June, Barbados only allowed ship based excursions.  It went so far as the beach break portion of my excursion was replaced with a catamaran sailing just to keep us isolated.

Other ports have allowed vaccinated individuals to roam freely.  Most, like Curacao and Roatan required masks indoors, but not outdoors.  Others, like Cozumel and Costa Maya required them pretty much everywhere.

YMMV. These rules change daily.  Sometimes hourly!

To me, the biggest takeaways are as follows:

  • The protocols, both on board and in port, are constantly changing.  If you go, be prepared for changes and roll with the punches.
  • Plan on being vaccinated, tested, measured, poked and prodded many times. 
  • The biggest challenge pre-cruise is meeting the test requirements.  For adults, a rapid antigen test is adequate.  Since Royal has now approved an at home test, it isn't too hard to meet for the time being.
  • Cruising is still awesome!  It is especially awesome when the ships are so empty.  Every sea day is like a port day where you remained on board.  No lines for shows, meals, slides, flowrider, elevators, etc. Every port day, is like a ghost town. Terrible for Royal's bottom line, but an incredible experience for cruisers.

Chris, great video. Also watched your latest video where you got to visit CoCo Cay. Congratulations on getting off and visiting the island. Also wanted to give a shout out to Mehi. Please tell him the Hall's from Liberty (the butterfly lady) say hi and hope to see him on a future cruise.

Haha! Will do.
