Crowded and full of kids

Wished I knew about winter break. There were many kids running amuck. Knocking on doors, running through hallways and playing with the elevators. This ship's elevators are small and crowded. We used the stairs to climb 8 or more decks routinely because of the wait for the elevators. Loved the complimentary restaurant choices. Beautiful ship. Great comedy shows. Lots of activities and lots of fun We enjoyed the soda package. Able to serve ourselves for soda is easy and quick

Great Time to Cruise!!!

The Odyssey is a nice ship with lots of activities. The crew was definitely appreciative of having passengers again and went above and beyond to please everyone. The wait staff at the pool was always available and even regularly brought us water! Hardly a wait for anything, which was magnificent. I wish I could have stayed onboard for another couple of trips!

Slight Let-Down

Overall not a bad ship - it was clean and our room steward, Wilton, was awesome and attentive. I was expecting better service from crew because it was a smaller ship; however, I was disappointed. Room service for breakfast was ordered for 7:30 and did not arrive until 8:45am (after we left). Buffet did not change-up - ALWAYS the same exact food for lunch. We were supposed to meet for excursions at 8am and one day, they started calling groups at 7:56am - we luckily arrived to meet early, but then only waited on the stairwell near the gangway since the doors were not open yet. The last morning, the Windjammer had no coffee cups at both stations - one station told me to go to the other only to find out they had no cups either - very frustrating! Finally found cups at an unmanned station only to find no coffee there. Not a good way to end the cruise. Also, the pool tables had 5 sticks with no tips - only 1 workable stick. All-in-all, found that this ship lacked attention to detail and some communication issues.

Cruise tips

Mardi Gras

Mardi Gras

Be careful of your cabin location. Be cautious of tiered balconies and the location of smoking areas

Grand Turk Island

People in grand turk seemed to be bothered by tourists. I felt like I was in their way

Nassau, Bahamas

We did an excursion that was a tour of Nassau and it was pretty nice. We visited a winery, chocolate factory and the Queens staircase, which were all very nice. I was disappointed that our itinerary changed since this replaced Grand Cayman. Nassau was picky about wearing masks - even on the pier with nobody around us. We were chased down the road by a man who appeared to be on drugs, so I did not feel that it was the safest place.

Oranjestad, Aruba

I love Aruba - felt very safe. The country is clean and kept up well. We took an excursion that included riding around for almost 5 hours on UTVs. It was an excellent tour and was worth the money. They were not nuts about wearing facemasks everywhere, which was pleasant for us.

Odyssey of the Seas

Odyssey of the Seas

Go to the Wonderland and do so with an open mind - it is quite an experience. Also, do not miss The Book or The Effectors shows.

Willemstad, Curacao

I love Curacao - this is another clean and safe country. They were not to strict on facemasks in this country either, which was nice for us! We took an excursion that took us to Hato Caves and Mambo Beach. It was okay - nothing that special. The caves were nice but not as nice as the ones in Virginia and the beach was very busy and packed.
