Thank you for the suggestions!!!

I wonder if we could get up in the North Star for a small group photo?

 

if we are the first wedding aboard Odyssey will they commemorate that anyway?  A nice plaque on the ship somewhere? Lol

Haha.

I believe right now the North Star has a limited capacity of people for each ride.

Hello Chris!!

we will be coming aboard in 18 days!!

can’t wait to see this beautiful ship!

I was wondering if you could suggest locations on the ship where it would be the best locations for photos?  We are actually getting married at sea on the ship and have the photographer for 2 hours and looking for the best locations.

 

Thanks in advance!!!!

First of all, congratulations!

I'm pretty sure you are the first wedding onboard Odyssey.

Staircase photo on the Esplanade is a classic. The hallway of art on the Esplanade is also very nice. I would also say the Music Hall, and maybe even the Solarium are nice locations.

Sailing Odyssey on Nov 28th.. and just moved our room to a spacious outside view.. 11th deck!

Can't wait to see the ship and larger room (and if anyone has been in one of the spacious outside rooms, I'd love pictures!) I'm prime in the casino so I'lll be sure to stop by to say hi to Chris!

See you next month!

NEW CRUISE VLOG!

Just another day in my life, and why I love working on a cruise ship!

756 passengers onboard Odyssey this week.

I'm glad you had a good time!

I think most ships have a small crew store where they can get the essentials. I also seem to recall an on board vlogger getting stuff sent to the ship (Amazon). 

Yes, a lot of crew like shopping on Amazon - especially those where Amazon is not in their home country.

If the crew can't get shore leave, how do you get your toiletries restocked or any other shopping for that matter? 

The crew shop has everything we need, and I made sure I packed enough and brought plenty of toiletries with me onboard.

After doing a quick google search, it seems cases in Florida are going down.

I hope this is a turning point for cruising.

America to open its boarders again to the UK in November?

Looking forward to hopefully seeing my fellow Brits on US ships again. This is good for cruising!

828 passengers onboard Odyssey this week.

I FINALLY GOT OFF THE SHIP. This was my first time getting off the ship since quarantine. Exploring CocoCay was incredible.

Chris Wong for Wonder Of The Seas 2022?

You can buy chips in the shops onboard.

We booked just Odyssey for the end of February.  It looks like a great ship.  We may not get off due to covid as we’ve been to all these ports of call but if things get better we will.  It’s time we try this class of ship.  She really does look beautiful!

A lot of guests are actually choosing to stay onboard right now.

Is it safe to cruise?

My take on the health and safety protocols for cruising.

In this weeks vlog, I was lucky enough to have dinner in the Main Dining Room onboard Odyssey Of The Seas. This was the first time in my career I had this opportunity.

Matt and I finally met in real life!

Chris,

 

Do you know if a large portion of the returning cruisers are casino comped cruises?  We were on a Celebrity ship a couple of weeks ago and the Casino was the busiest place on the ship.

Yes, it certainly seems that way. Casino is by far the busiest venue on the ship.

Some guests onboard have said I've started to sound American...

I was lucky to have lunch at the steakhouse, Chops Grille, onboard Odyssey Of The Seas.

Did you eat here on your last cruise?

We were supposed to be on Independence for September 19 and we are very pleased that we were switched to Odyssey. Chris, one social media poster on Freedom says that the casino host told her that the casino tier level will be extended from March 2022 to March 2023. Have you heard anything about that, thanks!  

Yes.

If you achieve 2500 points or more on your next cruise, you will maintain your status until March 31st 2023.
