Odyssey of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Good Cruise. Lots to do on board. Ship layout is pretty good. . .

I enjoyed everything about the cruise and the experience. The staff was great and amazing and a pleasant. The drink package is horrible for the cup that provided is my only complaint.

This was my first solo cruise and the most relaxing. I don't know if it was the sway of the ship or because of the small capacity because it was so so peaceful. The comedy, magic, and ship shows were wonderful with great food all around. All the staff were very polite, helpful, great attitudes. I cannot wait for my next trip.

This cruise was not a shareable experience. We should have gone to disney world!

Royal is the only way we go after almost every cruise line prior too. Without talking $10K and above cruises, they are the standard. Thanks for another memorable time.

Average! Basic! I will pass on this class! Nothing about this ship or crusie was over the top or great. Merch for sale was basic and cheap stuff. Food was beyond basic. Often served cold and just was not up to standard when compaired to the ships in the Oasis class. Ship layout is totally boring. Better venues and things to do on the Oasis class ships. If I crusie Royal again (likely taking a break) I will stick to the Oasis class, even if it means repeating a ship.

Cruise was impacted by COVID. At first, no information was given as to why we returned to Fort Lauderdale for an emergency medical evacuation or why the next day, a show was cancelled, even though, it was obvious it was COVID related. As the number of infected grew, no active measures were taken to ensure that transmission would be limited. No enforcement of mask wearing indoors (guests often would wear masks under their noses or on chins or hold a drink to appear to be drinking so they didn't have to), people would sit at tables that were marked unavailable for distancing and no effort was made to ask them to find another suitable site, elevators had greater than 6 people packed inside and often individuals would not be wearing a mask inside, I applaud the attempts to maintain cleanliness and the sanitizers available but human behavior made all of that moot. It wasn't until the end of the cruise that some control was implemented at the buffet to maintain distancing but by then almost 90 (exact figure was never provided just a percentage infected - 1.9%) passenger and crew had become infected that we knew of. In addition, we were told that the cruise companies always knew infections were inevitable; however, given that, they had no contingencies in place for being denied entry to ports of calls.

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.

Ship was beautiful. Unfortunately Covid outbreak put a damper on the holiday (not the fault of the cruise line). The ship staff did a good job catering to the passengers.

Love the ports. Food was great except for MDR. Rooms and theaters too cramped. Pubs and entwas great, Don’t miss the comedy shows. Outdoor activities were good too. I won’t choose this ship again unless it is going to ports I can’t get to on another ship. I hope they discontinue the Odyssey class of ships.

I have never had service as incredible as I had it on this cruise. We ended up getting spoiled because everything was taken care of for us. It was truly an incredible trip!

Large, new Ship with at about 70% capacity for this cruise. It was GREAT !

Royal Caribbean is the way to go… so much thought put in to technology and passengers as well crew. Always Royal!

This ship is beautiful and well equipted. If you are use to Oasis class you will see a difference in size, but not in quality or amenities. There are some kinks to work out since returning from COVID, but overall a wonderful experience.

We had a great trip. The ship was clean, the staff was amazing and we were so happy to return to the sea. Our servers, Matthew and Mark were delightful and took great care of us during our dinners. Pool time was great. The splash pad area for kids was a hit with our boys. All in all it was a great trip

The ship was very pretty but a lot things required extra charge.

It was a great experience, the ship was very nice. The staff and crew were great. No complaints at all.

Service food entertainment perfect throughly enjoyed each and everyday thank you

Perhaps best cruise experience ever. Of course there were only 1100 guests, so felt like ship was ours alone. Staff was excellent.

Two outstanding waiters in the main dining room: JC AND MARK. I can't say enough good things about these two! We loved them and hated to say good-bye at the end of our cruise! No better people on this planet then JC and Mark. Another fantastic person was our Maitre d' whose name was foreign to me and I'm sorry I can't give it to you.
