People get sick and they don’t tell you there’s a Covid outbreak. Staff is sick and coughs. Where is there testing?
For a new ship I’m not impressed. Everyone looks tired. You need a reservation for mostly everything. It’s not truly all inclusive. Up charge for everything. Really pushy with drinks especially if you don’t have the drink package. Non existent entertainment. I wish we would have saved our money.

Great options.
Main Dining Room

My time dining is a joke. You can get a reservation if you want or you can wait in a long line. Once inside servers are great
El Loco Fresh

Great lunch option.
Casino Royal Bar

Entertainment
1 out of 5
Again shows canceled due to staff being sick. Shows are scheduled super late 10pm or later and then we embark at 7am prompt. Ridiculous
Children's Programs
They up charge for this service

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Bed is super comfy. Balcony was facing towards the sun so easy to enjoy the boat since all the chairs were reserved all day starting at 7 am
Ugh. What a nightmare! To get those white buildings and blue tops you have to get to OIA! Don’t use the donkeys that’s rude. Cable car is a joke but your only option
We've crossed on 48 cruises since last August only on Royal Caribbean International ships. The staff has a strict routine of testing, the ship monitors both crew and passengers for contact tracing if you are exposed to someone that tests + or goes to the med bay you will be quarantined. I know it happened to me in the Equinox.
We had entertainment cancellations on our February cruises due to COVID amongst the entertainers. We found ways to enjoy ourselves regardless. It was lovely to be traveling again. Hope your next cruise is better. Perhaps wait until this ridiculousness ends before venturing out again.
Odyssey sounds like it is overseas doing the European tours. There have been reports that Covid has seen an uptick over there so I am not surprised to hear that many came down with it. Right now, Covid is much worse over there than it is here in the states, so that should have been taken into consideration. As also mentioned, wearing a mask is always recommended if u are concerned about the spread of Covid. I will be doing Odyssey in April 2023 and I hope that the crew onboard at that time will be in better health. I also hope you are doing better as well.
Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations. Cruises are rarely advertised as “all inclusive”. A little homework would have save that particular frustration. Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations. Cruising isn’t for everyone.
