Odyssey for the win on Playmaker onion rings.  We had them a bunch of times on Odyssey this summer and they were excellent.  They were not as good on Oasis and we could now figure out why but they were not even close.  The difference is apparent. 

Odyssey today is left, Oasis last week is right.

Hi Jessy,

I really appreciate your live posts and all of the information. I am going to be a pain and ask if you could get the onboard pricing for internet, and possibly post some pictures of the casino. My husband and I will be on Odyssey in March, are Diamond Plus, and enjoy the Casino also. Oh yeah, I noticed that you had Corona and water in your room, I am wondering if the beer was cold when you got to your room, my husband wanted me to ask for that as his Diamond Plus perk, but wondered if it was cold, technically, we cold hope the cooler, aka fridge, cools it enough to drink it. Thanks for your help 😉

Please let us know the number of passengers on this sailing.

Me again, I also forgot to ask if you could post a picture of the Specialty restaurants. Thank you again 🙂

PS, glad to hear you are feeling better 😉

A few of you have asked how many guests are onboard.  We were just told around 1800 by the windjammer hostess

I asked my son for a proof of life photo of my Shichon named Shadow.  This is what I got.  Ethan is not exactly a photographer, but at least I know he is alive 😂

This is what he looked like before we left 🙂

Apparently the solarium restaurant is closed the entire week

Our Royal Up bid was unsuccedful.  I got the notification last night at 8:10PM AST (so 7:10 PM EST) that our offer was declined.  We were in the casino at the time making a donation and I did not actually see the email until this morning.  

 

We are in a balcony and minimum bid to a GS was $100.  We bid low at $115 a person.  BTW the same thing also happened to us in the summer when we bid on a GS from a balcony.  I think we got notification that it was unsuccessful while we were in the MDS for dinner.

 

We are glad that if one of our offers were going to be accepted, it was next weeks!

We went to dinner at Windjammer this evening.  It was dead.  There were very few guests there at 6:40PM.  I don’t think I saw 20 people.

 

I asked an employee at the bar in the WJ and they said it was very quiet last week too because it was so low capacity.  I asked if they know approximately how many people would be onboard next week and they said they did not know yet.

I did not make it to top tier event as I was working, but this was the C&A breakdown shared by someone on Facebook.  They were told there were 1850 total passengers

Does it feel crowded at all. 
Get me some good tips for a lucky slot machine for our trip coming up.

I have not found it crowded at all! I have yet to find a machine that likes me, but I was talking to someone this evening that won $24K this afternoon by getting Royals on Video Poker!!
