Review summary

With the resurgence of Covid, it was an unfortunate time to be cruising. Nevertheless this ship does not offer the same entertainment and sheer on board enjoyment as the Quantum class does. Will stick with those if and when we cruise again.

Rated this low due to difficulty enjoying each one. Our itinerary changes meant 7 days at sea so venues were crowded and opportunities to enjoy activities limited.

Due to Covid most shows were canceled.

I’m a little confused with some of these reviews. I was on the Dec 4 sailing. No shows were canceled, we were never denied entry to Aruba or Curaçao. The only negative thing that happened, was that an elderly couple had to disembark in Curaçao due to a medical emergency.

Wait, What? Yes, Odyssey of the Seas is a Quantum Ultra Class cruise ship. You need to explain or edit your review. Covid 19 difficult times and reviews…

I concur with USNCV66, Odyssey is the deluxe model Quantum.
