We chose Odyssey of the Seas, because we have kids ages 10, 5 and 2, and there seemed to be a lot to do. The bumper cars were one of the things we were looking forward to, only to find out it’s almost a 2 hour wait! We waited in line for about an hour before we said we are wasting our time. Wish they would designate times for certain ages. The ship has a rule you can’t save poolside lounges, ...
A little about us: we just retired at the ages of 59 and 63 and this was our 25th cruise (I think). We primarily sail with Royal and Norwegian. We are Emerald status with Royal.
We booked this cruise 48 hours before sailing! We were told we booked the last available cabin on the ship which was an inside cabin. We always book a balcony but decided to go with it since we were getting a ...
I travelled with my two kids under 3, husband and parents. Firstly , the pack and play they provide for babies is disgusting- it’s hard plywood and I wouldn’t make my worst enemy sleep on that. Because of this- my kids had to sleep with me the entire vacation… the food was terrible , poor selection and taste and quality was poor. Service was just okay, nothing compared to the service I’ve received ...
The artwork on this ship was fun and breathtaking. I loved the bumper cars and indoor ping pong tables. The shows were next level fantastic. The holiday xmas decor and activities were wonderful! I really enjoyed the ship having lighting of the tree event, Santa arriving, carolers, and theme music. The cabins on this ship were beautifully designed. The cabins choice of decor, design, and color ...
Starting out. We are in our early 70s and very fit. We had to walk up 5 ramps to get to the main opening to the ship. Very unorganized........ Could not get into our room until 1:30. no big deal. Purchased the VIP. Had lunch after a few questions, in the main dining room and that was okay. Checked back a couple times on our room and it was not ready yet. The ship seemed very enclosed and ...
My husband and 3 teen sons wanted to go on a cruise (I've cruised before). We went during winter break and had side-by-side rooms, ocean view balconies. No issues with embarking and disembarking. Very organized.
Rooms were very clean for our germaphobe family; did see one stain on the carpet but not a big issue. Bathroom spotless and no urine smells. Clean sheets and towels. No dust, though we ...
I've taken two cruises in the past, both pre-pandemic, and I found this cruise to be quite underwhelming in the food quality and staff morale areas. There's a lot more 'extra costs' than ever before, so much so that I found it spoiled the good parts of the cruise experience such as the stateroom and other positive attributes.
I had an inside stateroom, and was impressed by how clean it was not ...

We also bought the Ultimate Dining Package ( ...
We were booked on this ship previously but had to cancel due to Covid 19. When things got back to normal, we started looking to decide on which ship to sail on and when. We booked and cruised on two different ships and found the Odyssey superb. Once on board you get a feeling of joy and seeing the smiling faces of staff/crew really enhances the mood.
This is the most beautiful ship I ...
Sailed out of Fort Laud port. The ship is different! The effectors show was amazing and the show girls show was one of the best shows on royal Caribbean. The ship is small/mid size not too big not too small of a ship. This ship was sailed during December and the holiday decoration was beautiful and creative! The lighting of the Christmas tree, seeing Santa clause, and music was absolutely ...
