twangster Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 Day 7 - Sea Day On our way back across the Caribbean Sea and I'm no longer on the sunrise side of the ship so no morning photos. I went to Playmakers for lunch. They Sportsplex has been closed while we were in port as they finished the floor and fixed some other things here and there. The shiny new floor of the Sportsplex: Love the sea views from Playmakers. Games of the week: The Playmakers Classic Burger: One more look at the shiny new floor.

twangster Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 I may not be on the sunrise side of the ship but that means I am on the sunset side of the ship. The clouds stole the show. Despite the low numbers the Windjammer remains open for dinner. Italian night. JohnK6404, CravingaCruise, teddy and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 Tonight The Effectors is in the main theater so I went early to be near the front of the line. First come, first seated. The drone scene in The Effectors is pretty awesome as the drones fly out over the audience. Great as always!

twangster Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 Day 8 - Sea Day This morning at 7:30am was my test for B2B cruisers. With that done I headed to Cafe270 for breakfast. Some of the breakfast options in Cafe270: 5 hours ago, PG Cruiser said: Don't they serve smoothie-type drinks at Two70 Café? Not on Odyssey. I asked today just to be sure.

twangster Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 We were overtaking another ship in the early hours. Captain's Corner this morning. Crown and Anchor: Up Close and Personal With Your Entertainment Family A one hour presentation and Q&A session with the cast and backstage crew. At these events you always learn some tidbit of information and get insight what's it like for the cast and crew right now. Normally the cast spend a month or more at the Royal Caribbean Studios in Miami rehearsing a show. Right now they are sent to a ship, go into quarantine and learn the show over video. Once out of quarantine they meet for the first time and put all the pieces together into the production we see. Amazing. Simply georgeous sea day! Talk about calm seas...

twangster Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 Moving cabins between cruises so I have to pack up tonight. I'm moving up in the world! I chose a deck 13 balcony for my next cruise as it was cheaper than the obstructed balconies I'm in now. My current cabin is occupied next cruise so if I have to move I'm taking the opportunity to check out something higher, see if there is pool deck noise and if I like the location. It's only a 6 night and was pretty reasonable so I'll survive no matter what. CravingaCruise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twangster Posted January 22 Author Report Share Posted January 22 Day 8 Sunset I spotted a cruise ship on the horizon near the sun. I imagine it's a lot hotter over on that ship. That Captain better be careful, it's heading straight for them. The clouds save the day.

mrspeachykeen Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Is there anywhere on the ship to get milkshakes or hot chocolate(not packets)? I had seen photos of the Cafe Promenade menu on other ships but I heard Odyssey doesn’t have the coffee/hot chocolate there. From the photos of cafe two70 menu I don’t see them there either.

In the Solarium bar they were making smoothies with oats, protein and fruit (in December 2021) . They qualify as a Diamond drink! I'm also VERY VERY pleased the flowrider surface was replaced! It was... challenging with the bubbles and the standing seams. Thanks RCCL and Flowrider. SpeedNoodles and Seafarer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedNoodles Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 Ok, last annoying question (I think, maybe). Are they using pop-top cans or cans with screw tops for water on your sailing? TIIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
