The days of any dress code enforcement seem to be gone on Royal....not necessarily for the good either. On my recent Odyssey sailing people were in the main dining room in shorts and t-shirts for dinner. There were people in windjammer barely dressed wearing bikinis, some even g-strings with very see through coverups during breakfast, lunch and even dinner. I never saw anyone ever tell anyone anything...even if they walked into the solarium cafe in swimwear and still dripping wet. It seems like pretty much anything goes.

There is no longer any priority to board the ship for diamond plus (at least not Port Everglades). As far as the check-in time....on my last 2 cruises...Port Canaveral and Port Everglades they didn't even pay attention to the check-in time assigned.

Over 20 sailings on oasis class and 2 now on Odyssey. My next is back on Odyssey again. Oasis class just played out for me...after sailing Odyssey I much more appreciate the fully enclosed solarium and even though it's a big ship smaller feel compared to oasis class. Much better Windjammer on Odyssey that I can't stand on Oasis class and never used. Love the 270 area as well as cafe 270...great ship.

Got mine around second week of Dec.

As long as you stay with parking within the "Channel District" it is close....some are in walking distance some a quick 5 minute shuttle ride away.

Not Hard Rock

Good luck with that...its like land based casinos...comp is comp and free play is free play...they don't convert.

Agreed....was pretty weird.

Bet that was the same sailing I was on....cause it happened during the inaugural season and right around dinner time.

Experienced the same exact thing on Oasis years ago.....they called it a "technical blackout". It only lasted for a few minutes.

Agreed....stick to deck 7-12

The J4's are also on the hump....so best location and balcony views.

Plenty to do all in walking distance. Sparkmans Warf right near the port has many dining choices. Tampa Aquarium, Tampa History Center....this also houses Columbia Cafe....super great Spanish food. Take the free street trolley over to Ybor....or just take a ride. Walk the River Walk. Take a water taxi ride. visit the Tampa Museum of Art. Airport is a 20 minute Uber ride.

Great Junior suite with a split bathroom.

Think your taking about Yeoman's Cask and Lion.....I have not but hear good things and it's always seems busy.

Haven't stayed at Hyatt house downtown Tampa but watched when it was being built. Newer hotel with a Starbucks and great bagels place across the street...Bruger Bagels. Very easy 5 minute Uber to port. Seems to get good reviews.

Yup....saw this years ago on Oasis class holiday sailings that had a heavy Latin clientele.....kids sleeping on the floor in the corner of Boleros at 1am while the rest of the family partied.

There is a Greenwise Publix at 555 Channelside Dr, Tampa, FL 33602....very easy walk from port.

Agreed....the 18th seems to be the big problem.

End of another week and still no refund.....

Nope....booked a cabana and changed my mind a week after booking and cancelled....didn't rebook. Still no refund as of this morning.

Cancelled shore excursion 11/19 and have called twice now and still no refund....they just keep saying give it time. In past I have always had anything I cancelled credited back to my CC in 3-4 days.

Is Odyssey using terminal 18?

I will second that.

Shouldn't be any problem and the trolleys should be quiet in the morning.
