IslandTeddyBear Posted January 16, 2022 Report Posted January 16, 2022 Anyone have an update on the itinerary of the Odyssey? Last we heard, Aruba & Curaçao had denied entry to their ports due to COVID. We can’t possibly go on an 8 day cruise on Feb 12th with no ports? Quote
SpeedNoodles Posted January 16, 2022 Report Posted January 16, 2022 I think @twangster is on the current 8-day sailing and I'm sure he'll report, however what happens on one sailing probably has little to do with another. From what I understand, it has more to do with the on-board covid numbers the ship reports to the port, then the port decides if they will allow docking. Aruba and Curacao have allowed some ships to dock and not others. I will be on the 8-day sailing on the 29th. JohnK6404 1 Quote
twangster Posted January 16, 2022 Report Posted January 16, 2022 Day two of an Odyssey eight night cruise. Just pulling out of Nassau. As far as I know we are visiting Aruba and Curacao as planned. Great cruise so far. Went to NextCruise and made it a B2B. JohnK6404, teddy, foxrunner and 8 others 9 2 Quote

Great2BatSea Posted January 17, 2022 Report Posted January 17, 2022 We are also on the Feb. 12th sailing. Let's hope we are able to go to all the islands on the itinerary. JohnK6404 1 Quote

Reports of 1,634 on board and it feels lightly loaded. No lines at bumper cars so we stayed on for two sessions although they did let a new driver join us mid-session (yes they made us all stop first ). Later I, along with three teenage girls, defeated the Kraken in Zone Zero: Swashbucklers (virtual reality experience). Apparently they enjoyed it so much they almost peed their pants. TMI.

Aruba and Curacao have not closed their countries to all ships, they reacted to select ships early on when Omicron was first impacting cruise ships in a significant way. Now that cruise ships have adapted I suspect we'll see fewer ships being turned away. As Omicron continues to fall off that will also improve the results. Kathleen and WAAAYTOOO 1 1 Quote

WAYNO Posted January 28, 2022 Report Posted January 28, 2022 Odyssey, Feb 26th, 8-day... Originally, Aruba, Curacao, Grand Cayman. Grand Cayman was then cancelled and replaced with Nassau. Today, Jan 28th, we were notified that Nassau is now cancelled and replaced with Perfect Day. JohnK6404 1 Quote

As of this moment, we're stuck with Nassau for 2/12 sailing. Staying on the ship... just went there yet again last OCT. Have a great time! WAYNO 1 Quote

Guests spend money during port stops. Much better to have that money stay with Royal at CocoCay. Quote

They have agreements with the government to sail to Nassau. However if a slot opens at CocoCay why wouldn't they take advantage of it when they can? rjac 1 Quote
Templecruiser Posted January 30, 2022 Report Posted January 30, 2022 Our March 26th cruise is now showing perfect day instead of Nassau. I like that as I have not been there yet. Quote
