It had been a while since I won a Royal Up bid but yesterday my Royal Up was accepted. Went from an OV balcony to a junior suite on the Odyssey TA. 

Can I ask how much was your bid? We are booked same ship same cabin. 

A bit confused on a couple of things.  If we get the package do we both get a VOOM device since we are paying x2 on the price or is it one device split between our room.  If we get the VOOM separate we can get for one person one device correct?  We don't have to pay x 3 for 3 people right?  Lastly do we need stream to watch youtube?  Would be nice to have VOOM for one device only and use that at bedtime when daughter likes to listen to meditation youtube stations.  That's really the only thing I think we would really need stream for.  Plan would be to download a couple of movies off amazon prior to trip to watch if needed.

Going on Odyssey this Saturday 

menus have been posted for weeks 

making reservations for kid activities 

is the real problem 

Which activities? I thought all kid stuff was FCFS.

Anyone book this with kids and snorkled? Website says adult snorkle gear so curious how that worked with younger ones.

Highly recommend Victor Bodden tours.  Private tour but less than ship excursion.  The more people in your group the less per person price.  It includes RT from ship back to port.  We used this tour twice and loved being able to select where and what to do.  Small van with A/C and great tour guide. 

We used Victor Bodden many many years ago, so glad to see them still recommended. To this day this was my favorite tour of all the ones i’ve done.

The app shows my daughter will be in a 6-8 year old club.

Thank you, this is very helpful. When I did a few different google searches I couldn’t find anything. 

Thanks all my planner confirmed to get the letter from guest services although RC did follow up with me today and was able to find me the letter ahead of time. I didn’t want to wait until on ship to find out we missed doing something. This at least saved us time waiting in line on ship.

To answer I did not use RC’s wedding group, we are having a ceremony and cocktail hour reception on the island stop of Nassau and are hitting Coco Cay the day before so we will hit the mandated 24 hours. 
 

Thanks for the feedback and congrats we are getting excited getting into our countdown!

Hello All--

Looking for some guidance as the customer service line wasn't able to answer my question.  Getting married in Nassau next month on the port stop.  We were told to legally be married in Bahamas we need a letter from the captain stating when we arrived in Bahamian waters.  Anyone know how to go about getting this?

Can you reccomend your driver if you had one of the 14 person vans? We have at least 10 of us in our group and wasn't able to get Tex again as he drives the smaller vans.
