No direct experience on Deck 13, but was in Odyssey 12630 last month and that's as close as I'd want to get to the overhang and support beams. We were in an extended balcony on a forward facing hump, no beam interference, but they'd be more in the way on normal balconies. Given the choice I'd take deck 11, but would not book 13. The x630's are great cabins BTW.

Thank you both for your responses. Will save my cash for the casino!

Are bingo packages paid for in cash or charged against your seapass account?

Thank you all. The video was very helpful.

Thank you Canadian! I'll check out that tour company. I should have mentioned we'll be on Royal Caribbean, they're offering the other excursions I mentioned.

Will be docked at Willemstad on 2-March-2023. Would love to observe turtles while snorkeling but am having second thoughts about the options. First, is early March "in-season" for sea turtle viewing in Curacao? Is Playa Piskado (Playa Grandi) the place to go? Honestly the descriptions I've found of the turtles being attracted to the chum from cleaned fish, well it doesn't sound like the most natural environment. Better options to see them during early March? Any feedback on some excursions such as "Snorkel Trip to Turtle Bay CUL9" (boat trip), or "Beach Hop and Turtle Snorkel Experience CUE8"? There seems to be more to see in Curacao than a nine hour port call can do justice to, even though the turtles are on every "must do" list should I take a significant part of our day for them? Thank you for your advice.

Any recent experience with either the length-of-cruise thermal spa pass, or the Top 18 Solarium? For the Spa pass sauna and steam baths, are reservations needed? For Top 18 is advance purchase from the activity desk recommended? Is there any shade? Sailing on 14-Aug four-night from PC. Appreciate your advice on either of these areas, thank you.
