Odyssey of the Seas Jan. 15, 2022 - Not Live Recap

[twangster]

Expedition Two70 is a virtual reality game also available on some of the other Q class ships. 
 

 

 

 

 

Map of key locations to find masks in Two70.

 

 

Here is an example.
 

 

Each masks location has a unique virtual game to play that involves using the sensors on your device to perform an action in the game overlayed on top of your live camera image. 
 

 

 

In this game you move your device and yourself around the virtual game displayed on your screen to move the ball in the maze.  

 

 

Complete all levels to earn that mask before moving on to the next location. 

 

 

For an added challenge try doing this game on a sea day with lots of motion as that makes the accelerometer in your device think it’s moving while you try to move.  It’s much easier in port or on a calm sea day.

Do you know if those posts for the dividers would support a hammock safely?

Thank you! When I was on Mariner after cruising resumed, our Cabin Attendant said he couldn't open them. We have connecting rooms for upcoming cruise on Odyssey, but this was something I was wondering about - thank you!

I would think so.  Anchored at the top, feels very secure.  Ultimately ask your cabin attendant.   They cleaned the balconies just now so they are still wet.

Oasis across from us in CocoCay had several groups with dividers open.  Guess some ships implement different protocols.

Dinner in Teppanyaki

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With a 7:30pm dinner time you can't see much out the floor to ceiling windows once the sun has set.  Choose early dinner or lunch times for better views.

Day 5 - Cozumel

 

Short trip up from Costa Maya at a slow pace.

 

The solarium on Odyssey can be accessed from the deck 13 forward port side guest hallway.  On some of her sisters the door is marked crew only but it's public on Odyssey.  This makes the deck 13 forward cabins a great location especially for interior cabin guests.  Balcony cabins in the most forward position can be seen from the public bridge wings on each side of the solarium so consider your cabin choice carefully.    

 

 

I'm about a dozen cabins from the solarium.  This sunset picture from earlier shows the public bridge wings from my balcony.  From the bridge wings you can see me if I stand at my balcony railing but if stand back a little I can't be seen from the bridge wings.

On Odyssey last week we got notice to keep drapes closed on starboard. The crew was cleaning balconies

Since resetting my NextCruise counter I did it again.  Twice.  

 

Since I’m here a Kūmmelweck for lunch.

Two70 cast rehearsing in a production meeting.  These may be members of the new cast that recently came on board and cleared quarantine.   The original cast has been on since April and will soon leave once the new cast rehearse enough to take over the show.

Just curious- how close is a bar to the suite deck?

Hey Twangster--first, thank you very much, this is awesome! 😊

 

Second, I assumed that today would be the second formal night since it's lobster night in the MDR, but the app mentioned "casual portraits" this evening. Can you confirm/deny that tonight is "dress your best" or whatever they're calling it now? 😉

I prefer Cafe270 on Q class over O class Park Cafe.  More options.  The B&B is pretty darn good.  

[twangster]

Dinner in WJ for me.  Prime Rib.  Yum. 
 

The Effectors tonight. Love this show! The tech is amazing.

Part of Lume's solo in The Effectors.

 

If you listen closely you'll hear her voice waiver as she is singing.  Part of her costume on her headband starts to come loose and nearly slaps her in the face as she is singing.  If there was any question if she is singing live or playing a recorded track this is proof she is singing live.  All other times I've seen this she has performed flawlessly.  This is live theater at it's best!

 

This isn't even the best part of her routine.  The bit with the lasers before this is really cool!
