The sea calls my name

Hold again just lifted New launch time is 3:55. Launch window ends at 4:00pm ( 1600) so last chance for today.

Then I would keep those beauties coming Mama Shark.

I am so very sorry for all these issues you are having to deal with. I am also believing that all negatives for the entire trip are happening today which I hope will make for the best cruise ever once you board. Your tale of delays and cancellations is also a testimony of why you ALWAYS arrive the day before you sail. We live in Florida ( Daytona Beach area) and the only port we drive to day of is Port Canaveral. I've set in traffic for 2+ hours to many times on I 95. the $$$ of a 1 night hotel stay is worth my piece of mind. Praying that the rest of your travels today and tonight go smoothly.

I am 100 steps from A1A in Ormond Beach and I WILL BE GOING SOMEWHERE THIS TIME NEXT YEAR!!!!!! Maybe Bella Part 2.

Yes, I jus looked it up, you are correct. Oasis is returning back to Ft Lauderdale in Fall 2024. I confused myself on the NE ports. Thanks for the correction.

Yes, but isn't it just replacing Oasis? I guess after Oasis gets her "face lift" next spring she will return to sunny Florida and the Odyssey will go north. At least the Odyssey has a climate controlled and enclosed Solarium.

I will be there as well, thus my smoking area questions. maybe we will run into one another.

Yes., so you will have to wait a while. that s the bad news but the good news is she is going to be sailing from Nov of 2024 thru April of 2025 where the deployment schedule ends.

Would you mind letting me know if the deck 5 smoking area is on the port side or if it has moved to starboard?

That will be easier for you next year when she begins sailing from Cape Liberty next Nov.

They usually have headliner shows which ranges from in clean comedy, jugglers, singers etc.

If you haven't already ,watch the Movie and that would give you a better idea if you think your children would pick up on the sexual innuendos ( which is the theme of the musical 1 daughter 3 possible fathers) having said that the music and dancing is amazing. The best in the fleet to me. The language as I remember was not bad. I would say that kids today see worse on prime time TV just my humble opinion. .

As long as no one is looking back at me I will be fine. this is what I expected to get. Still can see the stars and hear and smell the sea air and wind.

That's my plan Thank you. I don't mind the category, I knew I would likely get the obstructed cabin with a GTY, I just had no idea there was smoking on lower decks. I am use to it only being on the upper pool deck and the casino and can easily avoid those areas.

If she wants to come along on this _(adjective TBD)__ adventure I can't wait to see her "beg" face when you begin the packing for your world cruise.

I know what I will be doing next week😆

I have a personal very important quick question. I read that there is a smoking area on deck 5 starboard aft. We have a GTY OV balcony for our April Transatlantic cruise and looks like we have been given a cabin directly above where this area is on the deck plans. My issue is that I have a very severe lung disease and allergy to cigarette smoke and if that is a smoking area on a 14 day TA we would never be able to even open our balcony door. Would you mind verifying this for me? If this is accurate I may get a letter from my doctor and try and get our GTY cabin moved away from this area. Thanks, Virginia Lea

Curious were the New Menus being used for the MDR?

Would you mind posting the show schedule?. I know it won't be the same for our TA in April on her, but I can at least see what shows I want to book. Have a wonderful cruise.

We were on The Odyssey in Oct 2021 and loved this ship. We are doing the April 22 Transatlantic on her this year so glad to get a recent review. Do you by any chance have a copy of the Show schedule that you could post? I am curious what shows are currently on the ship. Thanks

Totally agree

Well this is disappointing. Who knew a cruise could be come the new diet. 🤣

I have not read through the entire thread so asking for forgiveness in advance if my question has already been answered. Is the Windjammer following the same theme night as the MDR? I personally hope not, so if you want a different selection you will have one.

I noticed the same thing that there is no lobster entre on any of the menus that I have seen, ( or is my eyesight worse than I thought?

Take a sound machine or use the white noise app on your phone at night if the noise bothers you. I have a travel sound machine that has a USB port and charger for it. I sleep like a baby.
