Review summary

Great cruise. I only had one disappointment and it hurts to say it. I've ALWAYS loved Chops Grill but recently it's seemed to go downhill a bit. Not just this ship but others as well. The quality has slipped and the menu never gets updated. Other than that I would definitely recommend Odessey.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Bar tenders and wait staff went out of their way to make sure you were taken care of. Restaurant managers always came by to make sure we were happy.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

IFLY was a blast as always. I've done it a few times on Anthem. This time we all got multiple turns. The instructors were awsome and very attentive.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The Book in 270 and The Effectors in the main theater maybe lacked a good story but the effects were really great and made up for it.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

From the officers to the people wiping down the stairs cases, everyone was always smiling and very friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Quantum ships are always gorgeous and like always, you saw staff cleaning all the time.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Grand Loft Suite. Great design. Great views out the back of the ship. It's a beautiful suite.

Ship tip

Learn the ship before you go. It's not quite as big as an Oasis class ship but still can be confusing getting around d the first couple of days if you haven't watched any videos of it.

Ports of call

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5

Wr did Hidaway Beach adults only beach. It's new and well worth it. Plenty of space, drinks and food. We normally prefer CoCo Beach club but these days it's about 5 times more expensive. I'd pay more bit not that much. Hideaway is a great alternative.

We just came off of Adventure of the Seas, and I also hate to say something negative about Chops, however, I totally agree with you. I ordered the shrimp and lobster and both were mushy. My husband said could have been from warm water they were caught in instead of cold water. We were questioning why the difference from previous cruises. Thank you.
