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.

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.

NextCrusing your way to a B2B. That's a veteran move

Definitely a move we can aspire to!!!! Looking forward to when my calendar allows that veteran move! Until then I will continue to practice single cruises.

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?

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.

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.🏊‍♂️

Wow! I'm so jealous! 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!

I'm on the same cruise and was notified about the change in the itinerary with no explanation. Been to Nassau a couple of times, looking forward to Coco Cay, but I would like to no why the change to the itinerary. Haven't seen anything online either. 😎

CocoCay is theirs.  Nassau isn't.  Guests spend money during port stops.  Much better to have that money stay with Royal at CocoCay.

Interesting. Does that mean Nassau is off Royals' port stop list?

Of course not.  It's not binary.  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?
