Going to stay and have early dinner, hopefully watch a SpaceX launch, and then drive to Ft Lauderdale Saturday morning. Parking at the pier. Thanks for coming along John, do you know if the parking lot is in walking distance to the pier? Also, do you know if we can use our Diamond + drink coupons on day ? Celebrity wouldn't let us. Looking forward to meeting you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinMamainMN Posted January 28, 2022 #57 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Did your itinerary change? We sail on Odyssey Feb. 26th and just got an email that Nassau, Bahamas is out and Coco Cay is IN. I am thrilled with this switch! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandebeach Posted January 28, 2022 #60 Share Posted January 28, 2022 John I hope you have a wonderful cruise. That OS should be “sweet”! We had a GS in November on Odyssey and really liked the layout. The bathroom has two entrances, one from the living room and also a door from the bathroom. I think the OS might have the same type of layout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can do it from the wall controls. We also had the only Owner’s Loft Suite last September on Odyssey and the genie told me I could use my phone for the loft curtains but I never tried it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be very happy with that! They did email mail this a.m. that one of our Aruba excursions has been canceled and refunded. Will be following along this week. It will be the first of this class for us too and then we will have done all classes of ships including Empress. Hoping for a Royal Up but with so few suites on this ship not counting on it. You obviously got a great deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted January 28, 2022 #69 Share Posted January 28, 2022 3 hours ago, Sea Dog said: Sounds very interesting I will have to try that. That's too bad the Schooner bartender did not perform. Too good of a venue to not have the best bartenders. @John&LaLa Interested in knowing what bourbons are being offered on board? To make it a bit easier for John&LaLa, my app shows Bulleit, Buffalo Trace, Makers, But Suite Lounge and Diamond Club may have other selections. What's interesting is that Schooners offers a Hennessey Old Fashion. Maybe get the bartender to add some bourbon and vermouth and and bitters to create a Vieux Carre, or add some benedictine and get an a la Lousianne. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clochette Posted January 28, 2022 #71 Share Posted January 28, 2022 have fun, I look forward to reading your impressions of the Odyssey, we really enjoy the Anthem mainly because it is a short drive for us to NJ and feel that it is great ship on cold days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boss did this 2 weeks ago and they did Nassau. No CC. Must depend on # of ships at CC scheduled. We had 3 2 weeks ago but 1 was the Jewel as the evac ship. As long as that stays there and any Oasis class ship is in probably no room for the Odyssey. Edited January 28, 2022 by crewsweeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, the Schooner Bar used to have a cocktail on their menu called the Baton Rouge. It was Hennessy Cognac and Bourbon and bitters. It was so good. I have no idea why they took it off the menu. I had my favorite bartender Norvo make it on Explorer. We called it Baton Rouge 2.0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
