Odyssey January 15 short review so far

[cruise4fam]

Currently on the Odyssey that left January 15. 
1. Check in very easy. Coastguard was inspecting we boarded 12:30.

2. Great food so far. 1st night Chops and it was outstanding!! 2nd night Costal kitchen.

3. Crew going way above and constantly cleaning. I heard there was about 1,300. 
4. Room jr suite. Large and comfortable. 

5. Ship is beautiful and spotless. 

6. We stopped yesterday in Nassau from 8-4:30. We went down town to shop. 
7. Casino has a good amount of people but not packed.

8. 1600 approx guests. Not a lot of kids  have seen maybe 20. 

9. Everyone is wearing masks. I feel very safe and comfortable with the procedures. 
Not sure if I will be able to get on often but I will try. 🛳

Sounds great! Hoping to be onboard the 29th! Could you tell me which days are the formal nights? Have a great trip!

[birdylady]

Awesome.  SO looking forward to our turn in February.  One favor,  Can you please let us know when the top tier welcome back party is being held?  I'm hoping to coordinate a Slot Pull and want to make sure I don't' conflict with that (or if there are slot tournaments going on).  

 

Safe and smooth sailing.

Thanx

Erika

Thanks for posting!

[Trixie21]

Thanks for posting - great to hear you are having an enjoyable vacation .

We are on the first Odyssey European cruise in May , which I suspect is quite fully booked so we will see how that all pans out!

Meantime I am very interested in everyone's onboard experiences!

[cruise4fam]

We made it to Aruba and we are cleared and can go off the ship!! Excited since this is my first time here. 😎 

A couple of thoughts for those interested.

1. Crew is outstanding!!! Very attentive and constantly cleaning.

2. Food wonderful. Buffet is open for din when I was last on it was not.

3. I don’t do shows so I can not comment on them. 
Still feeling very safe and happy to be on board 🛳

Glad to hear things seem to be going well on Odyssey...I think the main reason....back to reduced capacity.

My experience on her in Sept was awesome....both ship and crew.

I agree lower capacity definitely makes the difference.

I hope to be on there Feb 6th. My Jan 9th Jewel trip was cancelled by RCI less than 48 hours from departure. I found out first from a passenger that was on Jewel at the time.  It was super stressful and time consuming to book this Odyssey trip.  I appreciate any reports you make! Thank you

[fliprcruiser]

Aruba was open, excursions running like normal.  Windy. But a great day on Aruba

[mduffy1834]

Thanks for the review - boarding on Sunday, fingers crossed.

 

Have a great next couple of days

Your welcome!! At least you were able to rebook so that’s great. I really love the Odyssey second time I am on it.

Docked in Curaçao today. My family is really enjoying the Odyssey. Crew is outstanding and you can see how hard they work. Food has been great the only thing not impressed with is the desserts. Which is probably a good thing. Lot’s of choices just nothing that I absolutely have to have. 
My family did Teppanyaki last night it was excellent!!   
I feel totally safe and happy to be on a cruise. Constant cleaning going on. In the buffet tables are turned over quickly with cleaning and sanitizing.

So was this on Day 3 of 8 night cruise, correct? Did they call this formal night or dress your best? Do you know yet when second formal night is?  We are doing this cruise March 26th, so I’m trying to plan best night to go to Teppanyaki. Thanks in advance!
