  1. I hope you like Odyssey as much as I do.
  2. I really like Odyssey. However it was the Voyager class, the Explorer to be exact, that I did my first RCI cruise on. It is a very nice class of ship and it sold me on RCI. I hope you have a great time.
  3. I was bike riding on Saturday and it was crazy what I was riding through. That video doesn't even portray how intense it was.
  4. Does it really matter in the end? You either pay more at deposit or you pay more at final. It has no effect on the bottom line.
  5. Ok, so you would rather "supplement" your cruise fare by 150% rather than 125%? Does it make the slightest difference if you view it as a multiplier or supplement?
  6. Location might bring more people, that could become friends, to the lounge.
  7. The startup did have some issues with procurement of supplies as well as beefing up labor. Was RCI supposed to wait for covid to disappear, supply chains to resolve, fully staff ships, and then restart at 100%? How much longer would that have extended the shutdown? I think RCI did the best they could. In return I got to do a couple of cruises relatively inexpensively, received double C&A points, and got to experience an Oasis class ship at 50% occupancy and Odyssey at a little over 60%. Both were very, very enjoyable cruises. I'm glad you are happy with your decision to move on from cruising. I'm still very much enjoying it.
  8. There was a time when I cared nothing about balconies. However, as time goes on my needs evolved. I still enjoy the goings on around the ship but love having a private and quiet space to retreat to where I can still be outside.
  9. Is RCI not a product you believe in? Do you still use it? As for the shutdown, RCI managed to take care of their assets (ships), pay employees that were needed to look after those assets, deal with refunds of customer money, and managed to come out alive on the other side. It doesn't seem to me that management did all that badly.
  10. Though I don't happen to fall into the category, I suspect there is a decent size group of people who are back in their cabins well before midnight. I have been on some ships where the music in Bolaro's was so loud that I was uncomfortable sitting in there. My preference would be a cabin not in the near vicinity.
  11. 17 hrs to get from Spain to Boston?😳
  12. So no reduced deposit and no refundable option. Next maybe the OBC will become history too.
