Live on Odyssey - January 29, 2022 - 8 Night Southern Caribbean 🚢

[DesireeC03]

I am in for it - living vicariously since we ended up in the red zone in December and eager to rebook when the FCC come through!

Have fun - the solarium is magnificent and the service on board was impeccable.

Pretty sure sign outside says Suite Lounge

 

That would make "M8" happy.  😉

I'll likely be lost for a couple days. 

Took us a day.  We've sailed nothing but Oasis class for the last 5 years so it was definitely different

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.

 

I've often found a few more not listed on the app.

wow another LIVE from Belle's parents.   Will follow along since I am doing Odyssey in April.

I think John you rival Twangster for the best LIVE.  

 

Thanks, but I do a very different style. And my photos are nowhere near the quality of @twangster

 

Both types are enjoyable

Got our negative test results from Walgreens in less than an hour.

 

Laura was on edge as our neighbors tested positive this morning for their cruise on Saturday.

 

I guess someone is smiling on us

For the COVID test at Walgreens, did you have to make an appointment

ahead of time, and how many days ahead did you book it.  Nice to see that you got it back

so quick.   Thinking of changing our to Walgreens.  We have an appointment with

CVS for an up coming trip.  But it says it could take up to 3 days to get the 

results back.  It got me kind of nervous, What if we don't get it back 

till we get to the port.

Were you reading the desctiption for the rapid antigen test? Make sure you are selecting the correct test... they give you options.

That is the one that can easily take three days.

Right now Some Pcr tests are a week behind. Not an option

Lauren may be relinquishing her acting title and resuming her real job on day 2 of your cruise.

Take the rapid antigen

As far as I know it's always been Nassau, but friends (M8) did this in December and they did CC

Cocoa Cay is far more lucrative as a cruise stop, even with reduced capacity, but it all would depend on how many ships are in port that day and other logistics.

Give a wave across to Pier 25 tomorrow. We will be boarding the Celebrity Apex. Driving down from Orlando in the morning. Negative test results in hand — results from CVS yesterday in about an hour.

You are sailing on my dream ship, if I robbed a bank I would sail on this ship.

Hopefully it will be warm enough to take advantage of that gorgeous outdoor space.

Have fun.

[Maitaivegas]

Have a great time, I love your reports.

I enjoy reading and re reading them.

I will miss you by 1 day, I am sailing out of the same pier on 3/6 on the Oasis.

[Missusdubbya]

Bon voyage John!

Since there is plenty of room for multiple LIVE reports, I will be doing one on the Celebrity board.

We almost were forced to return home during Christmas because we had dinner with a couple and he tested positive the next morning, we packed our stuff and literally ran out of my daughter's house.  We COULD NOT be anywhere near Todd's mother who had just gotten out of hospital for Pneumonia!   But it was suggested that we ask them both to test again and they agreed (before we made the 11 hr drive home)  WHEW!  They went to another Doc in the Box just to be fair and guess what?  Yep, both negative.  Now that is a rarety having false positive!  Taught us a lesson, if we ever test positive, we will test again just to make sure!  They should test again on Friday!
