If you are HC tell them that and HC boards with the key, pinnacles and full suites. 

I don't understand the point you are trying to make. I have an accessible JS, and said a full suite was more than I wanted to pay for.

I need an accessible cabin and a full suite didn't fit my budget.

I just booked Our first JS on the Odyssey for our next anniversary. Do we get any special benefits? Someone told me we could use CK if they have openings. Is that true?

You have nothing to lose by trying. Last year on the Anthem before I made final payment, I asked for a re-price. Even though the category was sold out, I got a $700 refund. It does happen.

Where is it located?

It's whatever they want the minimum to be. They have a captive audience.

Their IT department is doing what it does best, screwing things up.

The August 15 sailing of Liberty of the Seas is now swapping Turks/Caicos for Labadee.

Do you know for how long?

Odyssey is replacing the Anthem in Cape Liberty. So it will be sailing from Bayonne between November and April and Europe May through November.

The closest liquor store is a state store  next to the  grocery store near the train station. It's about a ten minute walk from the ship. It's away from the boardwalk where the ship docks. It's not the duty free that most people associate with the Caribbean.

The ship usually sails at 3:00 so don't get there until after two, otherwise you ll get caught up with the boarding traffic.

I've found a ,3.00 tip makes it go away too.

It is above the outdoor smoking area on deck five. You WILL smell the smoke from there. I know that because I book accessible cabins ,7764 & 8674 for my wife, and it does reach us there.

I thought Odyssey had a retractable roof over one of the pools? Thinking

of booking for March from NY. One more question: are the buffet dinners in Windjammer similar to what’s offered in the MDR? And can you view menu in advance? 

You may a find a few of the items on a given day, but don't count on it. The MDR menus are usually the same fleetwide. I don't know if the WJ dinner menus are consistent fleetwide, in my experience there's nothing in writing. Some ships may have theme nights in the WJ on occasion, and the theme is printed in the compass.

I assume El Loco Fresh replaced JR's and Playmakers replaced the Pub next to Sorrento's.

They've done it like that the past 4 years on the Anthem, so I expect the Odyssey would follow suit.

You don't have to loop back.

Is Labor Day in Canada a holiday, and is it the same day as in the US?

We ran into very similar scams in Cozumel and Roatan last month right at the port side shops.  They always try to get you inside their store/booth to demonstrate the product and then complete the scam

The cruise lines must be aware of this but resist telling everyone that their port stops are risky

You fell for it, plain and simple.. That old saying still carries weight today. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. 

FYI.... Four more states just joined the United States, NJ, NY,NH, and NM. It only took them 4 days to fix it.

How about Hooked?

He's an acquired taste. Not fur me. It seems he does the same show every time.

First time on her when she comes to Cape Liberty in the fall. How are the production and ice shows? How similar is she to the Anthem?

I got a 10:30-11:00 time slot at 12:05 this morning.

Try on-line, not working right but you can at least get checked-in.
