View from the North Star on Odyssey. This was a free ride on a sea day. I have done the free ride several times on Odyssey, I have not done the paid ride.

Have a safe flight! Have a great cruise!

Thanks so much for sharing and your pictures are beautiful.

Love the pictures going under the bridge.

I have tried the blueberry nojito, not bad!

Thanks for sharing!

On Anthem, the host's podium for Coastal Kitchen is in the hallway outside Coastal Kitchen and near the exit for the Windjammer buffet area. When you board the ship, go right to the host's desk and ask about making reservations for dinner in Coastal Kitchen. You may be able to get a reservation for dinner that night or the next night (depends on availability.

Yes!!! I totally agree!!!!

Interesting. We were on Liberty in March and booked as myself and a girl friend in one room, and then the husbands in another room. We linked the cruises when we booked, and both rooms showed up on my app.

On the app it should show your cruise and underneath it will be the cruise that you are linked with.

I love the purple! Very pretty and I bet they are easy to find amidst a "sea of luggage".

Happy to read your review! We are doing two trips to Europe next year that have time between each cruise and like you, I am struggling with travel info overload. Looking forward to reading about your exciting vacation.

Thanks for your review. We have booked Anthem and Norway for next year.

We had a junior suite on Wonder in March and the mattress felt fine, not too hard and not too soft.

Thanks so much for your review and tips on each port. Just booked this cruise for next May, your review was very informative.

Two weeks ago walkoffs started at 6:45. We had an airport transfer and we left at 7:30.

We did an RCI excursion, Panoramic Ephesus because we were getting tired, and it was good. But if I ever come back, I would book a tour that included Mary’s house. Several people I talked to did private tours and they also had positive experiences.

Currently on Odyssey and docked in Kusadasi Turkey. We did not need a visa.

And here is the letter

I am not expecting any but it will be interesting to see if Royal offers us any compensation, like perhaps discounts on our Greek islands excursions. I would like to also give a shoutout to the awesome casino bar staff who were expecting three days off. They have been busy in the casino this evening!!

Waiting to see what the Excursion desk is able to arrange, since Odyssey does Greek Isles next cruise, they at least already have contacts in place. And I commend Shore Excursion staff, they have been great when faced with all these changes.

Thanks everybody. Santorini is my favorite Greek island but I am still disappointed in missing Jerusalem.

So disappointed. We had to leave the ship and go through the terminal to clear Immigration in Haifa. Got our visa “gate pass” and returned to the ship. Everyone had to clear Immigration before the ship could reposition and move over to the regular dock. Suddenly they stopped calling group numbers to proceed to Immigration. My husband was wondering what was going on when the Captain announced that, due to the increasing geopolitical situation, Royal did not feel we were safe in Israel. We are leaving in an hour, having a sea day while we head over to Santorini and Crete. I am so disappointed.

We left out of Civitavecchia on Monday on Odyssey. There were no signs anywhere that you could not purchase spirits.

Captain has just announced that, due to the geopolitical situation in Gaza, we will go to Haifa instead of Ashdod. They are working to see if they can reschedule our tours because he said it is safe to go to Jerusalem and Bethlehem. My fingers are crossed!
