I love their mirror pose.

Shark - I think the operative question here is.... after this long vacation, do you still remember where you live and how to get back there??  😆

 

We leave Sunday and board the Odyssey on Tuesday.  We just bit on an offer today to upgrade our V1 cabin to one of the aft view penthouse spa suites.  Now I'm REALLY counting the days until we board....

We did manage to find our way home, yes!  Barely 2 hours from Vancouver to SFO & then the usual 5 hours to our place in the middle of the Pacific.  That's a breeze compared to coming home from Europe or Asia!   

 

Don't think I've ever seen a pic of a spa penthouse, could you post one?!   I really like the aft view, in fact, my favorite Colonnade breakfast table is the one right smack in the middle of the deck, right on the aft rail, looking at that pretty wake behind us.

We really love the Spa Penthouses, as long is you don’t get an accessible one.    On the three smaller ships there is no elevator to the deck.   There is a chair on the circular staircase can be used on the smaller ships.

Start a new thread!  We will all enjoy it!

I will do so!  But to wrap up on this thread, about 10 days ago I contracted COVID.  Funny to actually be "relieved" to go ahead and get it far enough out from our departure to not cause us to have to cancel.  I had really been worrying about that, or testing positive while on-board the cruise.  I was lucky to have a pretty mild case.  Really seemed mostly like a moderately bad cold.  DH now has it too, and has felt worse than I did ("man cold" you know).  In the meantime, our bag shipped off with Luggage Forwarding and is sitting at the airport near Vancouver waiting to be delivered to the ship.  I am SO psyched to get on board.  Only 9 days to go!

Was down at Canada Place yesterday, where Odyssey was berthed.  She seems in a great state to welcome us next week!
