Alcohol for my kids? Sounds like a good trade.

Wait, are there people who still don't bring one of these along???

The best way to get a coffee maker aboard is to hide it in a crock pot and surrounded with rum runners. You're welcome!

If you're lucky, you'll stumble upon the channel showing Doogie Howser, MD, dubbed in Greek.

What are your other reasons? Inquiring minds want to know...

It's nice that you're getting a little break from the daily time changes. Last year our first stop was Malaga and we lost an hour each of the first six nights. I noticed on day four that the ship felt very empty as I made my way down to get my morning coffee, as that's when it really seemed to hit people.

No problem! I'm enjoying following along with you. It's taking me back to a year ago! Looking forward to being on Odyssey again later this year out of Bayonne in December, and the westbound TA in October of '25.

Yep, you need to check them out. I think I was getting 6 or 7 at a time and returning them soaking wet an hour later. Lol

Hand washing works out pretty well. We brought some oversized zip lock bags to to laundry during our 26 night b2b. It saved time being able to do more clothes at once. Pro tip: get a bunch of pool towels to roll the wet laundry in before hanging, to speed drying time.

There's nothing worse than a steak you can't edit. 😠

Actually for accuracy I should say that our Holy Land trip was altered at the last minute due to unrest. Our overnight in Ashdod was cancelled, and an overnight in Haifa was planned instead. Haifa was originally one day. BUT...after just a few hours in Haifa, we departed before the immigration process was complete. Very disappointing! Santorini was added to the itinerary at that point. It was still an amazing trip!

Following! We were on this TA last April, b2b with the Holy Land and really loved it.

Graig Murphy? That's the comedian performing day 8, 10 pm, in the theater on the current sailing. 🤷‍♂️

Surround the steamer with rum runners. You're welcome.

According to a certain site called Cruise Critic, pier runners actually can be entertaining to watch. 🙂 https://www.cruisecritic.com/articles/5-hilarious-cruise-pier-runners?lid=42u7ac8979k2&crm_source=58226&crm_pos=us&crm_cid=001a3948-ac9f-4bdd-a47a-d17981aa6152&crm_rid=3sS5eIgB4ZnXyT5mGz7n&crm_cname=04.07.24 US Weekender - Other- 5 Hilarious Cruise Pier Runners

I can't believe it took so long!🤣

This has been a very entertaining thread, for so many reasons! 🤣

I was hoping for video. 🙂

If there is a fee, rest assured it is to enhance your experience.

Wow. You booked a trip on Six Flags Of The Seas and were surprised that there were tons of kids. Bless your heart.

Fruit is free in the Windjammer.

My cape is still at the cleaners. I hope my ascot will suffice.

I'm glad they finally have a place of their own!

How do you know it really is? 😁
