There is a pub on Odyssey. Some decent food for 4.00 each 🙂

Agree with all you said. 2nd level seating is best for Two70. As you said it's cool and unique, but odd in a way. D+ seats there were perfect. Last month was our first time on Odyssey and we loved the ship overall. Wish it was going to be in Florida next year. The nachos and chocolate desert at the pub are well worth 4.00 each! 🙂

What is that even supposed to mean? Modern gaze?????

Yeah that's a high bid, not surprised it was accepted.

Samba on Radiance last month was AWESOME. Server, food, everything.

50+ cruises from Florida the rooms have been ready at 1:00 every time.

EXACTLY 🙂

Yeah, would never pay 5k for a basic balcony. On any ship.

Exactly. Elevators can be a very big PITA on the last day. So you either wait and deal with the crowds or use the stairs. There will always be elevators and escalators in the terminal which aren't as bad.

the post you quoted was NOT MINE. Not sure how that ended up that way.

Looking at Icon pricing makes us thankful we like the smaller older ships. We can do 4 cruises for the price of one 🙂

Serisously? You have no idea what the OP's insurance claim requirements or reimbursement limits are........,.,,.good grief.

RCCL is infamous for lost items never being returned from the "lost and found" department. Wish you luck but don't get your hopes up.

Lounge coffee machines are always a question mark, they seem to have a lot of maintenence issues. Personally I've never been impressed with what they dispense even when they are working.

We'll be on Grandeur, Explorer and Radiance for 6 weeks soon. I guess we love rust buckets. Has nothing to do with the prices we just don't like the chaos and crowds at elevators, windjammer, etc. on the huge ships. Watching people lay on the floor on the sun deck on Symphony last winter because all the chairs were taken at 7AM every day was the last straw. In fact half those 6 weeks are "free" thru casino comps, we could have chosen any ships and intentionally stayed away from the monsters. As for prices, the lines have billions in debt to pay off after covid, it's not surprising.

Exactly 🙂

Windjammer burgers are fine, I just wouldn't call them "delicious".... 🙂

Agree on the size, though not so much the walking. On our Symphony cruise last spring elevators, pool decks and windjammer were SO crowded and chaotic the entire week. Glad so many people love the big ships, keeps the smaller ones more pleasant. We have 6 cruises booked this winter and NONE are on Oasis class 🙂

Whatever. You know what they meant, but couldn't resist a lecture what "free" means to you.....

Yes available in Windjammer, but they aren't "delicious"..... 🙂

LOL 🙂

Hope you have a good trip. Can't imagine planning that much right down to the rest stops.... 🙂 Symphony is a beautiful ship, but we have two main memories from last winter - Elevators and Windjammer situations were HELL pretty much all day every day....... Oh, and the sun decks. First time I've ever seen them so crowded and chaotic on any ship so bad that people were literally laying on the floors.... That said the entertainment and restaurants were nice.

Agree, carousels seem like a pain and you can wait forever. I'd rather just find my bag and go.

That about sums it up. That said, we have 40+ nights booked on Royal this winter 🙂

If you're interested in a nightmare with elevators, loungers up top and Windjammer, go with Symphony. Our cruise on her last winter helped us decide to never again go on an Oasis class ship.
