Oh, and we visited the LA, Allen, to confirm the milestone. Gave us a form to fill out, and took our picture for presentation.  

 

Apparently they're not doing them on the stage this week. Laura is bummed, but we'll make do. Ces la vie'.

Gee, that’s a shame.  I’m with Laura - I would be disappointed too.  On the flip side, at least you’ll get a free cruise and an Odyssey block for your collection!

Up in SL for sail out. To cold on deck🤣🤣

 

There goes Apex

We are still waiting for ours. They were supposed to be available and shipped by December. Our cruises were in October. Hope John doesn’t have to wait on theirs.

What was your first cocktail on board?

Which suite did you get?

Any idea which restaurant was open for UDP?

Alan the LA told me on my Jan 15 cruise he had just received an email from corporate on the blocks and they still are looking at a couple months out.  Technically I earned my 3rd Odyssey block on the 6 night that just ended.  Five cruises on her and 3 were block cruises.  Crazy double points are making the blocks happen so quickly it's weird.

We will be staying in one of the two Owners Suites, so that's a big plus

 

Great location near the aft elevators

 

541 sqft should be enough room for both of us. Nice balcony as well

Got an early check in as well. Early bird gets the worm

Three on Odyssey is impressive. Have you only been sailing on her lately? We don’t cruise as much as you do, but we will get the Odyssey and then the Wonder this March if the cruises happen as planned.

Can you prebook the activities online? Or, do you do it on the app once OB?  Haven’t been on this ship yet.

 Thanks

Freedom, Allure, Harmony, Indy, Odyssey but the double points combined with how it worked out since I was due a block on whatever ship I first sailed in the restart so it just worked out this way.

Most are booked on the ship now.  Some activities and entertainment times are vax only and the cruise planner can't handle that concept.

Have a great trip John and Laura. 
 

I got my housework done today and now will settle in to enjoy your journey.

 

That suite is very nice!

Ditto for us. I will check once again on out Jewel cruise 2/20. If John and Laura get theirs that will be encouraging.

If you are interested in trading one of your Odyssey blocks, I could let you know what duplicates I have.

Glad you made it safe.  I didn’t know JS could do lunch in CK.  Is CK open breakfast and lunch for JS?   The GS upgrade is tempting but I am sure you will enjoy what you got and you don’t have to move around.

 

Pinnacle perk.  😉

Thanks for the link! Looks like so much fun!! I’ve been wanting to do it, but a bit concerned because of back issues. Was there any warning against it? Thanks in advance for your response

Bucky and I are back logged two blocks already (not to mention the "pointy" one as well).  Indeed Alan finally told me they are sending them to you now.  What fun...they are on back order and are taking 5-6 months!  😮 

 

Apparently gone are the days when you got your block on board.  😞

They do give you this warning:

Ripcord by iFly is open to anyone 3 years and older (shh, don't tell my preschooler). You cannot be pregnant or weigh more than 230 pounds; it's also not recommended for people with heart trouble, back problems or shoulder dislocations, but check with your doctor pre-cruise to be sure. Possibly more important for people on Caribbean vacations, you should not be intoxicated while flying.

 

But I find roller coasters more violent for my back then the Ifly, so if you can do roller coasters you should be fine.

 

Just do a little stretching before you do it, there is not a lot pressure or anything on your back......The picture makes it look really bad on your back but it really isn't that bad.

 

I'm sure if once you get in there and have an issue just give the instructor a hand signal and she will grab you and take you to the door and stop.

Wow...we are rockin' and rollin' right now!  No problem for us....but saw several not doing well, and one poor young lady looking green, holding her stomach running to the elevator...guessing she was heading to medical.  😮  

 

Ehh...will just rock us to sleep.  Already one show cancelled due to the tossing to and fro. 😮 

 

Really nice dinner in Chops tonight.  🙂
