We saw him more than once in the elevator on Odyssey this month.

Hopefully you have travel insurance to cover any non-refundable expenses.

Thanks Oliver....

Tapping on what? There's no link to MENU...only to reserve.

They aren't on the App. This is all I see for EDEN. I can see the Steakhouse but not EDEN or La Petit Chef

We're booked on EDGE in February and when I open the app and go to dining I do not have an option to see a menu....only to reserve. It's the same for La Petit Chef but there is a menu shown for Fine Cut Steakhouse.

We tried EDEN on EDGE pre-covid and will now be on EDGE again in February and would like to try the "new" menus. Hoping someone can share a link or photo of the menu.

We're just off Odyssey b2b and found the pizza at Giovanni's Wine Bar OK. The meatballs were really good as were most things on the restaurant menu. Spaghetti Carbonara was outstanding and the filet was much better than the one at CHOPS. We also ordered a whole pizza TO GO from Sorrento's. It was fresh out of the oven and much better than the pizza at Giovanni's.

Pinnacle Club members usually have Gold Seapass Cards.....regardless of type of stateroom.

True....if you want acknowledgement at your dinner table they will usually provide a small dessert and sing Happy Birthday. OP was asking about buying a birthday treat to be sent to her daughter's cabin.

Implying and assuming don't come into play now. As others have said protocols are fluid and changing.

There are no current protocols for a TA leaving from the US as there are no TA cruises from the US until spring '23.

note that pricing says "from" XXXX

At this point no one knows what the protocols will be next month....much less in spring 2023.

We were recently on the Odyssey TA. Prior to the cruise we received several emails about protocols. Below is one of them. I would think that the OP would have received the same for her cruise. ABOUT YOUR UPCOMING TRAVELS Dear Guest, We’re excited to welcome you onboard for our Odyssey of the Seas Transatlantic sailing. Before you head to the cruise terminal, we wanted to clarify our requirements for our sailing. Since we’re sailing on a Transatlantic itinerary, all guests 5 and older must be fully vaccinated, with the last dose of their primary vaccine regimen received no less than 14 days prior to sailing. Guests between the ages of 1-4 can sail, regardless of their vaccination status. Additionally, all guests ages 5 and older must provide a negative test result in order to sail. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We look forward to seeing you onboard soon! Sincerely, Royal Caribbean International

Hoping to see updated protocols for RCI sailings soon as we're on Odyssey Oct 19 from Civitavecchia to the Holy Land/Greek Isles.

We'll also be on Odyssey next month but have a question for a younger family who are booking Odyssey Greek Isles next summer. Would like to hear opinions about MTD on Odyssey. Time? and whether you think it would work for a group of 7. TIA....and thanks for sharing your hints/tips

I wasn't aware of that....

We wait until the cabins are ready.....unless we're on Celebrity.....who allow you to drop off your bags in the cabin prior to them being ready. We don't go all over the ship until AFTER cabins are available and we're unpacked.

Your TA has nothing to do with a Royal Up bid. You place the bid and receive the communications. Each time we've bid it has been cabin specific and I've never seen a Suite guarantee bid (but that doesn't mean others haven't).

We've taken our 25" bags on all recent cruises both in US and abroad. Love the idea of being able to unpack as soon as we get to the cabin. Been there/done that waiting for suitcases and/or having to find them in the big group at the end of the hall.

I understand your concerns. Do you have a screenshot of your Royal Up bid or the email you got confirming the bid? If so, that may help so you can show the type of cabin you bid on. Good luck

Coffee machine was broken when we boarded on Aug 29.

We're just off the Aug 29 4nt cruise and there were 3900 guests.

Just off Navigator. Master is Captain Johan Hill from Sweden.
