@Joe33472agree Komang is a great room steward. We must be on the same deck.

It’s Captain Marek

About to cross into FL from GA. Definitely have bigger bags than you all. But not as much as usual. See everyone tomorrow!

Wow some of my favorite posters all on the same TA. Definitely will have to keep reading to follow your fun. Hopefully @GimmeOceanand the rest of us on the Odyssey TA will be having as much fun as @laurieal and the rest of you while we race you to Europe.

She is currently our favorite ship. She is a large ship with all of those bells and whistles but has the feel of a more intimate smaller ship. The one thing we don’t like is the location of the pub and the lack of seating outside the pub. I love to people watch. Love Playmakers location and layout, but can’t believe they didn’t put a bathroom close by. Some people don’t like the location of Izumi but not a big deal to us. We sail for the 3rd time in a few weeks.

There should be a sheet outlining benefits in your cabin. I almost missed it on our last cruise because it was on the back of a folded sheet. But no separate invitation to Top Tier event it was included on that sheet. But, that was out cruise on Adventure in January. Things could have changed already.

4 drinks per person per day. Assuming you are both Diamond. Which you probably are...

Glad to hear that they got the coffee machine working in the Crown Lounge. When we were on in January it worked 2 mornings out of our 8 onboard. Felt the same way about Puerto Plata. Thanks for the heads up about the gratuity in the spa. Will keep that in mind when we are back on her. Is it safe to assume it's the same way on all the ships?

Same. DH said it must have flown all the way to the ship to be that tough.

Oh my gosh, so excited for all of you. Excellent decision on Royal’s part. Looking forward to hearing all about this adventure.

Thank you for letting us all travel along with all of you. We made (for us) last minute plans and are now going on Adventure January 5th. Haven’t sailed on her in a bunch of years so it was great to have all pictures. We too will be near the library so I know where to go on the days I have to work. Looking forward to the videos. Have a new list of drinks to try in the Schooner bar. Sending positive thoughts for the next knee surgery.

Oldest: Nordic Empress Newest: Odyssey Favorite: Odyssey. One of the reasons for that is the first time we sailed on her there were only 750 passengers so we were VERY spoiled. Have our 3rd cruise on Odyssey in April.

We did the Chef's Table on Odyssey in February and had a blast Food was good, wine was good and our table mates were an absolute blast. Have kept in touch with some of them. I think the normal price is $99 per person so I would absolutely do it.

There are also printable magnetic sheets. They are letter size. You can use the whole sheet or cut to size. I've done those a couple of times.

We really enjoy Columbus Cove. It’s a beautiful beach. Food, restrooms and drinks all close by. Being by the zip line can be fun for watching the people. But the rocky beach takes a lot away from the area for us.

I like both but enjoy the sea days and like the more laid back feel of Labadee.

Following. Always excited for a live @JessyCruises review. Of this trip, we too have only been to London.

@seadog loved both of the videos. The one for Sue was beautifully done and had me crying at my desk. The second one made me realize that I need to stop lurking and book Bella 2. Thank you and all the others that took those of us at home along on your wonderful cruise.

Saw a teenage girl on Odyssey last month with a wrist full of bands and it immediately reminded me of Owen on your NYE/Birthday cruise. Guess she was a “baddie” but as a mom of 4 daughters and 3 granddaughters I have trouble with that slang. 🙄

Love your reviews, but having a great cruise is the important thing. So do what works best for you.

Playmakers, the sports bar, has great burgers.

Absolutely following. Great way to start the new year with one of your reviews. Have a great cruise and birthday.

My daughter has celiacs disease and drinks ciders for her sweet drink. Vodka tonic and wine are her go to drinks.

As always had a great time following you and Lisa on your cruise. It was good to see Owen and Lucy. Owen looks so grown up. I follow Rick on Instagram but it was really cool to see his picture. Thank you again for taking us along.

Always love your reviews. We were on Odyssey last September and there were only 750 passengers. It felt empty at times but am concerned that it is going to feel too full when we sail again in February. We really enjoyed Izumi. But Giovanni's was our favorite on the ship. I, like your wife, love the 270 cafe. The staff at 270 were wonderful on our trip in September.
