Rare Tree_skier Posted February 12, 2022 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Greetings fellow warriors, Many years ago Homer captured the epic return of Odysseus to Ithaca following the conclusion of the Trojan war. It is a brilliantly written poetic masterpiece that, if you are literary minded, will grip your soul. This will not be Homer’s Odyssey. This will mostly be a narrative about me excessively eating and drinking for 8 days. 🙂 This is our third cruise since the restart. We loved each previous one irrespective of protocols. We hope and expect this one will be the same. This is our first Quantum class ship so we’re especially excited about trying it out on a brand new version of it. We’re not night owls anymore and won’t be partying until late in the night so drinking begins early and ends early. Any recommendations about drinks to experiment with is greatly appreciated. We have the UDP on this one as well as the beverage package so most of dining will be in the specialty restaurants. I’ll post lots of pics and comment a little. Shows and activities spliced in between my eating and drinking will chronicled as best I can. I’ll do my best to answer any questions aboard the ship. The war has ended. (Covid is almost over) It is time for everyone to go home (Normal life needs to return) 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Tree_skier Posted February 12, 2022 Author #2 Share Posted February 12, 2022 We’re just packing up at the Hilton Garden Inn now. We’ll have a light breakfast and then Uber over to the port. I’ll check back here in few hours and let you know how it all is going. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a mistake in my original post that said there was a dedicated Starbucks on Q class ships 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SteelCityCruiser10 Posted February 12, 2022 #18 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Enjoy & Thanks for doing a semi live! Hope you love Odyssey/Quantum class.

sandebeach Posted February 12, 2022 #23 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Enjoy your cruise! We got off around 8 this morning and it was less than 11 minutes to get our luggage, go through facial recognition and head to the taxi line. Port Everglades was very organized this morning. Hope you have an easy and organized boarding today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
