After an afternoon nap I headed back out to see if my sun position estimates were right.  This is Governor's Beach.

 

 

While waiting I grabbed a few drinks and dinner at The West Deck Beach Bar.

 

 

Looks like this is going to work out perfectly.

 

 

Time for another round.

Those drinks look delicious! What restaurant is that? Which beach?

If child is with you, they treat you pretty badly these days. Think something similar to walking around ship with big bell around your neck, yelling, “unclean, unclean”.

Didn't experience this one bit! They treated our little one like royalty! We always stayed in areas where we were supposed to but even just out and around the ship, crew would literally go out of their way to stop and interact with her.

So where was your "spot" on this cruise for laying out by the pool.  I'm trying to figure out what will be a good spot for us.  On Freedom and Voyager class ships(only ones we've been on the since our honeymoon) we've staked out the solarium for the comfy chairs, very near bar, and adult only pool(really don't care that much about the adult only part).  I'm thinking for odyssey we'll be up around the track since there seem to be so few chairs in the sun around the pool.

 

Also will depend on crowds, at the end of match, I'm expecting a pretty full ship.

 

Thanks for the review.

Dan

Im with you there! Thats why we always went to the solarium too! Comfy chairs and close bar! The adult only thing didn't matter as much. I actually think the solarium is a bit too quiet sometimes. The solarium on Odyssey was gorgeous though so if you can, spend some time there. If you're talking about a new spot, I am guessing you may have some younger ones in tow.

Our spot was on the main deck, just under the overhang, edge of the pool starboard side. I always insist that we go out into the sun areas but Nichole likes the mix of sun and shade as the sun moves around. Here is a picture. Keep in mind, the furniture isn't laid out like this right now. I think less chairs to promote some distance.... The circle on the pic is exactly where the 5 chairs were, under the upper deck..

Debarkation Day:

I never sleep well the night before debarkation. I am just restless and wondering, are we back yet? Are we back yet? Finally our alarms went off, we got up and got cleaned up. We pack throughout the week as things get dirty and that way its not a panic pack in the morning. That way we can just do our own luggage and there is no delay getting off or chaos at the port.

I love the fact that Royal has the windjammer open for a full breakfast on debarkation day! It makes it feel a little less, "thanks but get off!" We headed to the windjammer for a quick breakfast and then did self assist off the ship. Nichole, the little one and I were heading straight to the airport for our flight home.

I believe we were supposed to have an 11am flight and we were off and at FLL by 8:45. That was with a shuttle ride to get MIL and Berts truck and drive to the airport. Not saying that it always happens that smooth but it did for us.

Final thoughts:

The Odyssey is a beautiful and modern ship with tons to offer regardless of your style of cruising. The health protocols were not intrusive nor were they overbearing at all. I am a person that wouldn't mind if they went maskless tomorrow but it didn't affect the mood of our vacation or our experience at all! The requirement to book a ship excursion with an unvaccinated toddler was a bit silly. Once we were off the ship, she interacted with people and in spaces the same as if we had brought her off ourselves.

All the food was good! There were things that stood out and things that were just average but nothing that I would say "I would never eat that again". Other ships have a much more impressive kids splash area if that is an amenity you would want when traveling with kids. The crew onboard treated our little one like a princess! Even though she is on the shy side, it was a wonderful experience to see so many crew be so nice to her. All and all, this was a wonderful cruise! Cruising in a post pandemic world is still a great experience and will only get better! If you have any reservations about the current state of cruise travel, don't give it another thought!

I hope you've all enjoyed this review. If you have any questions or there was something specific that I didn't cover or answer please feel free to ask!

Day continued:

We arrived at the main dining room and as usual, Juan, May, Michael and Ericsson were waiting to take care of us!

 I started with the coconut shrimp and Nichole had a salad. We both then had the turkey dinner.

I finished with a puff pastry and I think Nichole had strawberry shortcake but I can't be positive.

We wrapped up dinner with cappuccinos and espresso martinis and then said goodbye to a team that provided excellent service and took great care of us throughout our entire vacation. Juan surprised the little one with friend before we left!

The last day of a cruise is always sad. No one wants vacation to end but it's more than that. I tend to be a friendly person and really get to know the crew members that I frequently see, be it a server, room attendant or bartender (although those seem to be the ones I get to know the best). They take great care of you for your entire trip and sometimes even create great memories. When you leave, it feels like you're leaving a friend behind. They see so many people and may not remember you but I have also returned to ships and seen crew members that immediately remembered us like old friends!

We said our goodbyes and headed to.......

Schooner bar!!! One last night cap! Here we chatted with 2 other crew members that worked above and beyond to provide a high level of service to us! They even remembered the little ones name (who am I kidding, more crew on that ship knew about her than us!) We finished up our drinks said some more goodbyes and headed upstairs for bed.

Next up: Debarkation day and final thoughts

Day 8: Last Sea Day

We awoke for our last day at sea. To be honest, I actually really enjoy sea days! For me, the ship is the destination and the ports are just a bonus! This trip technically being 6 sea days didn't bother me at all!

Nichole and I traded off with our plan for the last day. I headed upstairs to grab chairs and Nichole stayed back at the room. Once the little one woke up,  Nichole brought her to me at the chairs and then went and caught a workout and when she finished, we all headed to grab a quick breakfast.

I managed to snag the same chairs in Ericssons area. We'd been doing the same thing all week, couldn't change it up now! I noticed a few separate times throughout the trip where towels and belongings of people reserving chairs were cleared by crew members. Sometimes we saw people come back and throw attitude that their stuff got moved. I say good for the crew! I've never been one to hold a chair for more than 20-30 minutes. I don't grab chairs unless I plan on being in them or at least at the pool.

Day 8 was similar to day 7! The band and the DJ had great sets. The weather was good but you could already feel it cooling down as we sailed north towards Florida. The vibe at the pool was a bit different for day 8. The crowd was definitely not as pumped up or active but everyone was still having a good time. We spent the entire day at the pool. We only left for lunch.

When DJ Markus' ended his set at 4pm, I went over and told him how talented I thought he was and that he may be the best open format cruise ship DJ I've seen. I asked if he was playing at RED which was at 270 that night and he said yes but not to expect too much. I've been to so many RED events on Royal and they've all been really disappointing. RED is sold as the night club experience but I don't know of any night clubs that play all the gimmick dance songs that I've heard at RED. This got me thinking, I wonder if Royal requires the DJ to stick to a strict format for RED. DJ Markus did explain that the venue is awesome and the equipment they give him is awesome but the crowd makes it and it all depends. I wanted to check it out and see for myself but one other issue was, why is RED a late night event on the last night!? It's usually a night before a sea day so those that go can recover. I'm not sure if this is a change because it's not popular or what.

The girls headed down to get ready for our last dinner and went to the sunshine bar in the solarium for one last poolside cocktail. Man I wish I saw more of that solarium! I headed down, got ready and we made our way to the main dining room.

Next up: Day 8 continued

We just booked the cruise yesterday. There are very limited excursions left so not sure what we’re going to do about that :/. All the beach breaks are sold out. 

Don't kick yourself about that. Most of the beach breaks if any, were booked out months before our sailing.

Thanks for the info , what about getting off the ships in port?  were there excursions you could go on ?

The only way to get off the ship is to book a ship sponsored excursion. There were some that we could go on but it seemed like the beach breaks were either booked or cancelled. For our curaçao excursion we did a cave tour that also included some beach time as well.

Thank you for sharing! Do you happen to know if they will let a 37 month old toddler into the Royal Tots and Babies? I know the cutoff is 36 months and after that they are supposed to go into the 3-5 club, but they have to also be potty trained and my son is not.

When we checked in to AO they specifically asked if she was potty trained. They said if she wasn't she couldn't be in the 3-5 room because they can not assist the children with any bathroom needs. The kids need to get themselves to the bathroom, the staff can assist with hand washing.

Day 7 Continued:

We got ready for dinner and headed down to the main dining room. Night 7 was the second formal night. Night 3 was the first formal night. Night 3 was actually called formal night but 7 was called dress your best in the compass. The cruise director was still calling night 7 formal night during his announcements. We chose to treat night 2 as a second formal night and the whole family dressed for the occasion.

We arrived at the main dining room and our team was waiting for us once again. Other than the first 3 cruises we did on Disney, we usually do my time dining and have a different server each night but I really enjoyed having the same team each night during this cruise. We got to know them and they got to know us. All of the dining room teams on all of our cruises have always been pleasant but the level of service is on a whole different level when you have the same team every night!

Night 7 was lobster night and you guessed it, thats what we had. Nichole started with a caprese salad and I had a quiche like appetizer which I really enjoyed.

Then the lobster tails! 2 Caribbean lobster tails with vegetables and a baked potato!

We finished off dinner with dessert. Baked Alaska for me and Nichole had the molten chocolate cake!

I forgot to mention, I never really mentioned the little ones dinner because she did the Spaghetti Bolognese every night! She loved it and could not get enough of the bolognese sauce! Dessert for her changed up some but stayed mostly consistent between cookies and brownies.

After dinner, we headed to the schooner bar...again. Why mess with success!? To be honest, Nichole and I really enjoy the schooner bar no matter the ship or sailing. In fact when cruising was shut down, I constantly would say "I just want to sit at the schooner bar, drink cocktails and listen to the piano player". We spent so much time at schooner on this cruise because we really enjoyed the bartenders there and it was one of the only non vaccinated bars on the ship. We had a pre-show cocktail and then headed to the theatre for The Effectors. 

The Effectors is the signature production on the Odyssey. The claimed it to be the most technologically advanced production that they've ever done. The cast was very talented, the show was entertaining and there was a bit of a story line which tied it all together. The technology involved in the show was pretty impressive! We enjoyed it and he little one did too before she started to fade!

You guessed it!! After the show, we headed back to the room for some rest. 9pm feels so much later when you eat dinner at 5:30! I hope I haven't lost my cruising edge! We settled in and got some sleep after another busy day at sea!

Next up Day 8: Last Sea Day

Day 7: Sea Day

We awoke for another day at sea and started the day like others. Nichole and I came up with a plan to trade off for the next 2 seas days. Knowing that we wanted prime real estate for the pool for the day at sea, one would go to the pool and get chairs and one would stay with the little one till she woke up and bring her to the pool. Nichole went first and got the same chairs we'd spent the week in. The only reason we really wanted to be in those chairs was because that was Ericsson's aka trouble's station. Once the little one woke up, we headed up and I brought her to the chairs. I then went and caught a workout and when I finished, we all headed to grab a quick breakfast.

We didn't stay away from the chairs long, staff was clearing the towels and belongings of those that were trying to reserve chairs for extended periods of time. Just before heading to breakfast, we sailed into a rain shower. I was bummed because I was really hoping for good weather the last 2 days so the little one as well as mom and dad could spend as much time in the sun as possible before heading back to the cold. Ironically, after about 40 minutes of clouds and rain, the skies brightened up and the day might have been the pick of the week.

We spent the entire day at the pool, Ericsson took great care of us, the band and DJ both had great sets as well! The vibe from the crowd was awesome as well, everyone was in a party mood and enjoying both sets! At some point during the day, the little one got hold of the water camera and kept herself quite busy "taking" pictures throughout the day! After sorting through and deleting a hundred or so pictures, there were some actual keepers as well!

As the day wore on, little one needed some rest so mom took her down for a nap while MIL, Bert and I stayed up at the pool. The DJ ended another great set and we all had one more round before heading downstairs to get ready for dinner!

Great review! We will be on the Odyssey at the end of March. It'll be our first time with our one year old. 

 

Did your daughter sleep in a play pen? If so, do you have any pictures of how the play pen in the cabin? Is the mattress in the play pen sufficient for sleeping? TIA!

Thank you for following along! Odyssey is a beautiful ship! Our daughter slept on the converted sofa bed so I can't help with the play pen logistics. Please feel free to ask any questions you have!

Following along and headed on Odyssey in April with an almost 2.5 year told. We love cruising and were are Loyal to Royal!! We splurged on an AFT balcony so we can enjoy time when she heads to bed. Any advice you can give my way having a toddler on board? TIA Did you have to ask for towel animals each night?

 

Great plan to splurge on the aft balcony! The balcony was definitely a place where we unwound a bit when she was napping or sleeping! We basically agreed that we wouldn't sail with her without one. You're going to love Odyssey! Gorgeous ship, although we didn't explore nearly as much as we usually do! Our little one was treated like royalty the entire trip! Every crew member knew her and as we walked around the ship, many called her by name! We even bumped into the Captain one day and he stopped to say hi to her!

As for towel animals, we only got 3 for the whole sailing. That being said, our stateroom attendant was definitely on the bare minimum side. We had to ask for compasses after we didn't get them for the first 2 days. He was pleasant but definitely didn't go the extra mile like others. If you want them every night, you might have to mention it.

Just off the Odyssey a few weeks ago. We had our 3 yo daughter with us. Vaccinated adults still receive vaccinated wrist bans and are allowed in vaccinated only areas w/o child. Main dining room you will be limited to assigned dining 1st or 2nd seating, no my time allowed. Each ships venues differ vaccinated vs unvaccinated but most specialty restaurants are everyone allowed. Adventure Ocean is open. Ship census will dictate how difficult it is to get your child/children into the club. You will be guaranteed a certain amount of time at adventure ocean for the sailing, we were on for 8 days and it was 8 hours guaranteed. Because of the low child count on our sailing, we could walk in at anytime though and not have any issues. Pools, splash pads and other activities are operating normally. Unvaccinated children are allowed at certain shows that are for vaccinated and unvaccinated. All in all, it seemed almost normal. If you have any questions or I can answer anything specific, feel free to ask!

Really enjoying your review! So glad you were able to make lemonade out of the cancellation lemons you were handed - the beach looks beautiful. I am also curious about what happened to the folks that dipped out. Pretty brave move! 

Thank you for following along! So glad to hear that others are reading and viewing! I included it in the next post but no idea what happened to them. We saw them again the next day so I know they made it back and weren't removed but as I said, I wouldn't want to chance trouble for a few extra hours!

Day 6 Continued:

One thing I forgot to mention, when we got back to the ship it was business as usual. There wasn't a head count, we didn't have to do any type of special check in and no one was looking for the family that was missing. It kind of struck me that once you're off on the ship excursion, it's the honor system coming back. Not saying that for sure but seemed that way. Either way, I wouldn't recommend chancing some type of trouble for a few extra hours on shore.

After hitting cafe 270 for lunch, we headed to the pool for some swimming, cocktails and ice cream for the little one! I literally lost count how many she had during the trip! It's amazing how quickly the afternoon drifts away and dinner time sneaks up on you when you have the 5:30 seating. After spending the rest of the day at the pool, we head downstairs to get ready for dinner.

Dinner night 6 was again in the main dining room. Juan, May, Ericsson and Michael were all waiting for us and it was another great experience as usual!

Nichole had a salad for her appetizer and I had the poblano soup which was very good!

For my entree I had the short rib. Which was also very good. Very tender with good flavors. I can't recall Nichole's entree.

Dessert was a chocolate creme for Nichole and Creme Brûlée for me. I thought Nichole's Chocolate was too rich. Creme Brûlée was good but average.

After dinner we head to Schooner for 90s trivia and of course to see some of our favorite bar tenders on the ship! We played trivia but didn't even come close to winning. After trivia we headed to Tap Factory at the request of the little one.

Tap Factory was ok but not any of our favorites. The performers again were talented, just not our thing. Not story line, no speech at all just tapping and lots of percussion. I'm not saying it wasn't impressive or entertaining but not something I'd rush to see again. Little one was tired as well and didn't seem to enjoy it as much as other shows.

After the show we head back to the room where we had another new friend! Little one insisted we keep this guy for the rest of the trip!

Next up Day 7: Sea Day

Day 6 Continued:

Once back on the bus, we headed for Mambo Beach. This trip took us around to the other side of the island and our guide continued the informative tour about Curacao. This time she included information about other neighborhoods, the religion on the island and talked about the defunct refinery that was massive but not in operation due to poor management. She really included info about everything!

On our way to Mambo beach we had to go over the Queen Juliana Bridge which gave great views of the Odyssey and downtown Willemstad.

We made our way through some more neighborhoods and ended up at Mambo beach where we would have around 2 hours of free time to explore, lounge, shop and swim.

Mambo Beach BLVD was actually really cool and I would've loved to spend the entire day there! There was a couple of really nice cove style beaches, tons of shops, a few different beach clubs and bars. We had an area set aside for us which we were required to sit in but once we picked loungers, we were able to go anywhere we pleased.

After a few great hours here, we headed back to the bus and were headed back to the ship. Something interesting we noted was a family of 4 with 2 unvaccinated children was missing. Nichole and I were curious if they chose this excursion to go to the beach and then go missing when it came time to go back to the ship. Being unsure of what kind of accountability was waiting back at the ship, we were curious to see what would happen.

The guide gave more information and tidbits about the economy, immigration and other things. It was really informative! The ride wrapped up at the port and was we exited the bus, we headed to the ship. I grabbed a few shots of her before we got on.

I will say I wasn't thrilled when I first saw the big writing and was disappointed that the wonder would have it as well but it really grew on me!  We headed back onto the ship for lunch and some pool time!

Day 6: Curacao!

We've never been to Curacao so we were excited for this port! Just like Aruba, our original ship sponsored excursion was cancelled by the operator but at least this time we were able to find a decent second choice! Originally we had booked some type of beach day but after the cancellation, we booked a cave exploration that included some beach time as well.

The little one was starting to feel the effects of all the fun and excitement. Usually she's getting us up but we got her up just as we were starting to send lines to shore. I think she was excited to be getting off the ship as well!

We opted for in room breakfast this morning as we had to get to the excursion desk by 8:15. I believe this was a requirement because we were traveling with an unvaccinated child. Once checking in there, they sent us on our way down to the gangway and off the ship we went.

We typically don't do many ship sponsored excursions but have done a few. I forgot how organized it all is! They had everyone lined up and organized to board the busses. No confusion or chaos at all. There were announcements in the port are to wear masks while in the port area. When we boarded the bus, the staff was all in masks and they sanitized our hands as we boarded the bus as well.

Once onboard the bus, the guide provided all kinds of information about Curacao on the way to the caves which was about 20 minutes away. She talked about the government, the infrastructure, education, public safety infrastructure, healthcare, retirement system, different neighborhoods, etc... It was really interesting and I enjoyed finding out all that info about the island. I had never had that type of experience before. When we arrived at the caves, we exited the bus and the guide said we could take our masks off!

The Hato Caves are a popular tourist attraction for Curacao and were very interesting to tour! They're located close to the airport,   We usually do beach or snorkel excursions so the experience was very different than what we usually do. The guide had some decent knowledge of the caves but I did feel like he rushed our group a little compared to the other groups that we saw touring. Just luck of the draw! This is the view from the entrance to the cave.

As we entered the cave, we were given some history and then informed we could only take pictures in certain places. I had already snapped a few pics before that though.

I guess one of the big reasons for no pictures is the fact that there are bats in the cave (which we did see) and they don't want flashes causing the bats to become aggressive.

This was one of the allowed rooms. Thats the hole that the bats exit and enter in the evening when they go to feed. The rest of the pics are randoms from around the cave.

The entire cave tour was about 25 minutes give or take. We ended up back where we began and headed back down for the bus.

I plan on using my unlimited dining package on March 4 at this restaurant. I’m also going to use my beverage package for the awesome specialty drinks that they have.

I hate to admit, that's what initially caught our eye! Then we looked at the food and we really wanted to try it!

Based upon the menu and type of venue, I am guessing this will be a specialty restaurant. Thanks!

Hi everyone! There is some information out about this new restaurant but not a lot! Knowing that this is a new concept, and all the information hasn't been released yet, does anyone know if this will be included in the UDP? Thanks!

Day 5 Continued:

We arrived at the dining room as a party of 3. MIL and Bert went ashore to Aruba and with a 10:30 all aboard, we knew we probably wouldn't see them for the rest of the night. Our serving team took great care of us again and we had another great dinner experience.

I had the baby back ribs and they were pretty good! It was definitely a filling meal. Nichole I believe had the pan seared sole.

For dessert was the English Trifle and the chocolate cookie a la mode. The cookie was ok, the trifle was a let down.

After dinner we headed to the Schooner Bar for a pre show cocktail. The little one insisted that she wanted to go see another show. The entertainment for night 6 was a one night only type of thing. Singer Danny Cannis with jazz and greatest hits. The show was good and he had a lot of talent. A very Michael Buble, Frank Sinatra vibe but also sang hits from Louis Armstrong and Stevie Wonder. Like I said, very talented and a good show!

Once the show was over, we headed back to the room for some rest. We knew we had an early morning excursion so we wanted to make sure the little one was rested. As I've said, a very different trip for us! Usually we'd go have a few more cocktails and catch the piano player in the Schooner Bar or some other entertainment. The little one was done and we weren't far behind, keeping up with her all day definitely made staying up late a bit more difficult!

Next up: Day 6 Curaçao!!

Day 5: Aruba (Kind of)

Day 5 started out sunny and warm, very little wind on the ship as well! We were ported in Aruba. The ship had been cleared and passengers were allowed to depart! It was also a very long port day, departure was at 10:30pm.

The reason I have Aruba listed as "kind of" is that Nichole, myself and the little one would be staying on the ship. Not exactly my choice for a port like this! Nichole and I have been to Aruba twice and loved it both times. Unfortunately, because we're traveling with an unvaccinated child, we had to book a ship sponsored excursion. We had one booked for a beach sail and beach break but the contract company cancelled that entire excursion. All the other excursion were snorkel tours and land tours. We would be booking something just to say we got off and for us it wasn't worth it.

We stayed on the ship and basically owned it but it was still more populated than I thought it would be, especially in the afternoon. At least the weather was gorgeous for the pool! After spending the day on the ship, playing at the pool and with the upper deck games, we head down to get ready for dinner.

Day 4: Sea Day # 2

Day 4 started out similar to day 2. Nichole and I traded off as we got in our morning runs and then we all headed to the windjammer for breakfast. After breakfast, we head to the pool and spent much of the day there! This was such a different cruise than I am used to! I am used to a few hours pool then a trivia or something like that, then more pool or lounge time. Ericsson took good care of us at the pool once again!

Something I did forget to mention. One of the reasons I didn't mind spending time by the pool was the music! The ships DJ, DJ Markus was the best cruise ship DJ I have seen and heard. Not only were his skills of mixing comparable to superstar DJs but his music choices had every single person on the pool deck satisfied. He literally mixed Beach Boys with modern day hits and made it all sound great! When he or the band were not playing, there were what sounded like prerecorded "sets" by DJ Markus playing at lower volumes throughout the day. It kept the pool deck entertaining.

After a day at the pool, we headed to dinner. It certainly wasn't the Chefs Table but it still was delicious and our team, Juan, May, Michael and Ericsson took great care of us! The asian pork taco appetizer is so good!

After dinner we headed to the show. Night 4 featured Pete Matthews. He was a comedic juggler and his show was probably the best thing I saw on the ship during the cruise. He was hilarious and his juggling was on point too! Even the little one loved his act. She was laughing and clapping because everyone else was but it was all family friendly.

We made it back to the room after the show and we had a new friend!

Our cabin steward was satisfactory but not overly friendly and we did have to ask for specific things. It's kind of interesting how they are hit or miss but I guess that's everything in life. MIL and Berts steward was amazing!

Next up: Day 5 Aruba (kind of)

Day 3 Continued:

We planned to get ready and then I would walk Nichole, MIL and Bert to the Chefs table. Unfortunately this is where the Adventure Ocean time blocks create a logistical challenge. The blocks start at 7pm by Chefs table starts at 6:30. One of us would have to be late to the table. Since it was Nicholes mom and step dad, I elected to be late. Now this is where I say that adventure ocean doesn't open 1 second before the time block. We had hoped that maybe they would open early but no luck. 7pm sharp, they opened the doors and in we went. Drop off was easy again. They asked what DD liked to do, gave me a phone, took her temp and in she went. I headed downstairs to the Chefs table.

A warm welcome from the sommelier, my family and our table mates! I made my apologies and everyone was very understanding! The sommelier caught me up on the first course, the aperitif and the first wine and we were off! The sommelier actually laughed when he saw how quickly I caught up to everyone! Our table mates were amazing too and we continued to see them throughout the cruise!

You just never know when you go to something like this. The table mates can make or break the whole experience but these people were lovely. They were all cousins that travel together and they've all cruised quite a bit. All of them were diamond members. When they described how much they've cruised I told them I wanted to be like them when I grow up!

The Chefs Table was absolutely amazing! This was our second one (first being allure) and I would definitely do it again and again!

In case anyone is wondering, we had them take their masks off for the picture!

We drank and ate and ate some more. It was a great evening! Things wrapped up around 10 minutes before 10. As we were on our way up to Adventure Ocean, the phone rang. The little one was tired and wondering where we were. We headed up grabbed her and headed back to the room. She said she had good time and would go back again but she was tired...we were all tired. In a food and wine coma, off to bed we went!

Next up: Day 4, another sea day!
