Just back from Odyssey. No indoor pool (small 3' deep ones in Solarium). iFly and Northstar are free in port (get reservations once onboard in the app). Both cost while sailing for longer experience. In our case both were cheaper once you got onboard than booking in advance. iFly in advance was was $34-$50, onboard was $24. Staff great and Windjammer pretty good food. Had one day with four kinds of carved meat at lunch. Seating often available far aft when front parts are full. Also, hot oatmeal/raisin and coconut cookies at front of Windjammer next to the hard serve ice cream.

Yup but interesting that onboard ifly is 24 and Northstar 19, both cheaper than all sale prices in the Cruise Planner.

Good point. Just because offer is for an inside you can upgrade to higher cabin or combine offers from two people. Have to call - not possible with link.

Problem with goport is their pickups are some airport hotels and airport. We rented car for days in Orlando and used Gosport after turning car in. You can also rent car and drop off near Port and reserve Gosport for trip back to airport if you want to avoid pickup hassle at cape when ship returns. See the Orlando board for lots of advice.

Actually got it for this cruise. Even following link from notification I haven't gotten to the questions for last six cruises.

Or switch to a different cruise and back. Reloads whatever is currently available for that cruise.

Easiest solution to that is use an old phone with no sim card in it. As long as phone doesn't use esims.

It's the people yelling down the halls, not the elevator itself.

Last year and a half we see maybe 30 people on a ship with masks. Twelve cruises on Royal, Celebrity and Princess. Similar to what we see in local grocery.

Used to see drinks plus voom and soda plus voom. Sometimes more expensive than separate price. Since they went to new satellite system about a year ago (with only one speed internet) haven't seen packages.

Just note when you go that Atlantis is cash free and they want a photo ID to use a credit card for food.

Odyssey dropped off a crew member in Bermuda at 7 pm, then had to turn around and drop off a passenger at around 7 am.

Ocean World. Dolphin show and experience, shark demo, beach, snorkeling in tank, great bird house where you can feed them. Pretty good park food. We would go again.

Tried to book an onboard Northstar experience and kept getting an "oops, something went wrong" message when adding it to the shopping cart. Asked at help desk and after checking my internet connection, stopping and restarting app, and logging in again he looked and said there was only one space and I was trying to book two. So if you see the Oops, try booking for one person. Don't visit the help desk.

Normal port all aboard is 30 minutes before departure. Tender ports may be 45 to an hour. Initial departure port in US is generally 90 minutes (depends on when they submit final manifest). Times can change even from the time posted at the gangway. If weather is coming in ships leave early. Rare, but they have even left ship excursions.
