chicail16 Posted February 11, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hi, Just curious as Oasis and Odyssey will be in together when I sail later this month. Wondering if it will be hard to get food (long lines) and beach chairs? Plan is to be mostly on the Chill (free side) of the island. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Itchy&Scratchy Posted February 11, 2022 #2 Share Posted February 11, 2022 depends on whether it's a holiday sailing with a ton of people. We had Indy and Harmony there during Thanksgiving week, and yes - it was crowded a bit. Continue walking to the Breezy Bay part of the Chill Island - way less crowded and is right across from Snack Shack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skagen Posted February 11, 2022 #3 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Believe it was Indy alongside us (Harmony) last week @ CocoCay - it was not super crowded due to fewer people on each ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted February 11, 2022 #4 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Probably not that big of deal now with ships at reduced passenger's counts. Kind of like just 1 ship being there. Plus most people sailing now that have been on more then one cruise since covid have been there multiple times. So guessing some even stay on the ship during that port stop. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Computer Nerd Posted February 12, 2022 #5 Share Posted February 12, 2022 In January, I was on the Oasis when the Odessey was there as well. It did not seem overly crowded to me. It could be that way if they are both sailing at 100% but I don't think that is the case yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevonfromAcme Posted February 12, 2022 #6 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I am on Odyssey now, sailing at about 50%. We were at Coco Cay today, alongside Symphony. It was absolutely not crowded. We left the ship midmorning, had absolutely no wait to get off, found chairs easily, no wait at any bar or at the buffet, and got back on board with no line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare barbiecruiser27 Posted February 14, 2022 #7 Share Posted February 14, 2022 How has the water park been crowd wise lately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfguyxxx Posted February 14, 2022 #8 Share Posted February 14, 2022 We had 2 ships there recently and my best advice; eat lunch on board. The "barbeque" is awful and was cold by the time we finally sat down because it took so long to find a table. It was utter chaos there with people practically knocking you down for ketchup and mustard. Also, not real happy that Iced Tea was not served; only super sweet drinks. Hmmmmmm.

bucfan2 Posted February 14, 2022 #9 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Like mentioned, w/ sailings at 30-50% capacity, it isn't crowded at all. Plenty of chairs (not close to anyone if desired), getting on/off ship a breeze, and food is fantastic...be sure to enjoy the great experience before it changes (increased % of capacity due to reduced ridiculous protocols or bankruptcy, whichever comes first).

MommaBear55 Posted February 14, 2022 #10 Share Posted February 14, 2022 We were there in December with two ships and it was very easy to find a chair with an umbrella, it was easy to get food at the buffet although all the tables in the shade were already taken.

Thrill water park had only light crowds last week with both Indy and Mariner docked. Felt a little crowded mid day, so plan for slides early and late.

And, it doesn't help that people sit there long after they are done eating. We were there twice this past Nov/Dec and ate early at a snack shack the first week (Indy was also there). Second week, we didn't even get off the ship and we were there with Oasis. Finding a chair with umbrella was easy and in fact we were at the pool and moved around the other side once the sun wasn't blocked so we could be in shade again. We saw lots of empty loungers at the beaches when we road the tram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRF Posted February 16, 2022 #13 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I was there just pre-COVID (Late Jan 2020), with Grandeur and Mariner there. Even with full sailings on each, it was not crowded at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
