Review summary

This was a great itinerary and the ports of call were all very good! Stateroom was comfy and clean. Our meals and drinks were excellent. Odyssey OTS did not disappoint!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Was virtually seamless. Even got onboard earlier than time scheduled! Had drink in hand within 15 minutes! Magical!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food is always a point of discussion. Personally, I felt the food was above average! MDR meals were very good but not 5 star restaurant worthy! Given the sheer number of plates generated each evening, I got what I expected: above average, nice fare with a good variety of options! Windjammer was nicer than other ships I’ve cruised. Food was very good. Wonderland was an experience for us to try! It was weird, unique and quite the evening. Meal portions were small plates and varied! Only had a few apps Miss the mark, otherwise it was a culinary delight and worth the experience! Drinks weee plentiful and satisfying! Bar staff deal with heavy demand and they always come through!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There is always something to do or nothing to do! That’s the beauty of cruising. You can make of it what you will! For us, it was all about the pools and sun and drink! We got it all in this cruise!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Cruise director works his behind off to keep you entertained! The 80’s night show and 80’s dance were fun!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
As per usual, the staff were nothing less than cordial and very friendly! From Bar Staff to Wait staff to our stateroom attendant, they all had smiles and wanted us to have a great experience!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This was a very clean ship! The layout was excellent! Very well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin was very clean, fairly modern and just perfect with a beautiful balcony to view the ocean sites.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Fort Lauderdale is always a great port to cruise out of. The staff is always friendly and get us on board in a very quick manner. I’ve never had any complications or problems at this port.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Perfect day at Coco cay is a wonderful destination. We generally end up at the oasis pool and bar for most of the day. Walking along the beach does give us a nice view of the ocean.

Labadee (Cruise Line Private Island)

5 out of 5
Labadee is a consistent beach spot and we got a chance to walk around the whole complex and hang out on the calm Columbus beach side.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

4 out of 5
We got off the ship and stayed at the port complex. We rode the lazy river and got in the pool and tied the swim up bar. It was a rainy day so did t get to do as much as we’d like. The shops area was very clean and had a few cool things to do or restaurants to eat at!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Couldn’t go any quicker or smoother! Have zero complaints. Was off the ship in a breeze!
