Review summary

This was the perfect cruise for me. This was my 10th and final solo cruise before I move on to other things and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The ship was clean and BEAUTIFUL, the shows were amazing, the food was great and the price was great since I was able to get a solo balcony room. I did NOT have to pay a solo supplement like I usually do when occupying a double room. This was my first time going to Aruba and it is now my favorite port. I went back less than 3 months later. There is so much I have to say about this ship. If you haven't seen it check out my full review on youtube. Just search MrBucketlist Odyssey of the Seas. This trip was awesome!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy. I had the Key so I never stopped walking once I got to the port. I was on the ship in 5 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Amazing. I enjoyed every meal onboard and I also enjoyed the refreshed menu.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The solarium, ifly, bumper cars, pool, flowrider, lazer tag, all the shows. Everything was a blast as usual with Royal Caribbean.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were great! I really enjoyed the book and the Effectors. They did such a good job.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Amazing service throughout besides the manager at Giovannis. I've never been treated so poorly on a ship in my life. But I wont ding the rest of the ship for one power hungry manager.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Perfect. It seems like like an oasis class ship but it felt smaller and not overwhelming.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I had a solo balcony room. The room was perfect for one person and the balcony was HUGE!

Wondering if you know if the ship offers bidding to upgrade a cabin?
