I thought Odyssey had a retractable roof over one of the pools?

Anthem (also Quantum, Ovation, Spectrum) has a retractable roof, although I've never seen it opened.

Odyssey is not covered.

Maybe La Patisserie?

But because you are all being so patient with me, here are some pictures of my very first Disney back in 1997. 
 

My first Disney World visit was in 1971.  Last visit was 1998, just before Animal Kingdom opened.

How similar is she to the Anthem?

Odyssey ... has Playmakers. El Loco Fresh, Teppanyaki, and two story MDR

no Johnny Rockets

no indoor pool

no outdoor WJ seating

Yep, Knew this was coming.  Just received a few of these for clients.  The 12 day Canaries sailing prior to this one has been shortened to 8 days

I thought the previous sailings was 9 day Southampton to Rome?  Is that sailing also cancelled?

You can also use your coupons for unopened canned and other contained beverages (beer, Truly, soda, water) to take and keep in your refrigerator in your stateroom.  We do that with unused coupons frequently as they expire daily.  Nice on our balcony from time to time without having to go to a bar to get them.

Still have a John Smith's, Old Speckled Hen, Red Stripe, and Bummer's in my home fridge from my last cruise.  😄

No need to wait. Since it’s my 2 kids that would be left on the dock (joking) there was no chance I wanted to take a huge risk like that.  So I made an appt with a State Passport Agency had to drive 3 hours this AM and pick up Thursday, another 3 hour drive.  But now we have no worries.  I just can’t take the risk some stickler dock person decides to enforce this rule which doesn’t apply.  

Mark your calendar ...

Make some new friends. 😉🍹

Meet a D+ couple on our Arctic Crossing in 2022 that shared their unused vouchers for some night caps.  🙂  They have joined us on our TA next week.  I can see some "free" night caps in the near future.  😄

... and noise is not an issue for me as I'm deaf so hearing aid is off when I sleep!! 😉  

Ditto.  🙂  One of the advantages of being hearing impaired. 

I can also shut off my aids to hear the annoyingly loud music at a comfortable level.

Changed my password BUT now I am being forced to buy a new phone.  I still have an Iphone 8 (I know I KNOW - but I love my phone).  Now their app requires you to have ios version 17.  Guess what?  8 does not support 17 - my version is 16.7.7.  

Thanks for the heads up.  Have been putting off updating to iOS 17, but just installed on my two iPhone SE2.

You're not missing much, imo.  And then that damn song sticks in your head for the rest of the day! 😖

Here you go ... 😄

We just got assigned our last cabin for the June 23 sailing, and it looks like a pretty "meh" location. 3848. Looks like it's close to elevators, bathrooms, and main dining room traffic. Only upside I can see is that it looks like a cabin that won't get a ton of traffic after hours as there is nothing else there. Has anyone ever stayed here or near here who can out my mind at ease? It's for my sons, who are both 17-20 and can sleep through a train but still would rather it not be very very loud for them.

Taste of the Caribbean Tasting Experience

Taste of the Caribbean ... in the Pacific.  😄

Saw Mamma Mia when it debuted on Quantum of the Seas.  It was the long version with an intermission.

Every other time I've gone threw the Canal WJ was open early at 6am, but was interesting watching hundreds getting there Helipad spot early too have such a long wait. Different being after Lunch by time we got threw first set Locks. 

On my Panama Canal transit, the prime viewing spots were packed.  A quick rain shower and they cleared out.   I had an umbrella and rain jacket, so I moved in to secure a prime spot.  🙂

What is this I hear them giving 100 Crown and Anchor points to make up to those who had to change passwords?😉😉😉

I need 303 points before next Sunday.  🤞

Is this an actual engine issue or is it normal maintenance?

Oasis = 🐱🦁🐯 ....... 😜

Aqua 80 on Oasis is very good, if you like the music.

It’s another splendid day here at Disney World. The weather so far has been gorgeous: beautiful and sunny, but not too hot or humid. 

Package up some of that good weather, in case we need to release in on the TA.  🙂

We are port at Cork Ireland on 7/21 this year on Serenade.  

Technically, it's Cobh.  😄

Are you going to kiss the Blarney Stone?  😉

Also note that the price drop will be based on the current terms of booking.  For example, if your original booking included OBC and the price drop does not, you will lose the OBC.

Call who you booked with (RCI or TA) to ask for the price drop.
