thjeepster Posted September 10, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Good Morning all. I was wondering if anyone has the 6-day Cruise Compasses for Odyssey? We will be sailing next month and wanted to see possible times and dates for certain things. We will be getting married on the ship during the first sea day and wanted to see what else might be happening around that time. Also, do they have the freestyle machines like some of the other ships? Any suggestions for places to take our wedding photos? We will have our photographer for 2 hours and wanted to have a plan ready for where we need to go in the hour after the ceremony. Thanks in advance!!!

Rare twangster Posted September 10, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Last sea day of a 6 night cruise on Odyssey today as we make our way back to PEV. I'll be posting a cruise recap with photos, videos and the cruise compasses in a few days once I get back home. Yes to freestyle but crew takes your cup and does the dispensing. So many great photo spots come to mind, it's a beautiful ship and a well done evolution from her sisters but also very familiar to those like me that like this class.

When we were on Adventure last month crew did exactly what you stated. However, when we were on Mariner last week you placed the cup on the machine and added ice yourself. The only thing the crew did was push the buttons to dispense what you wanted to drink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the ship is too new for those to have made it on board yet? im praying they are there next month. I collect them and would like to have it and maybe hang a sign on the back saying just married lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Day 3)….did they serve lobster tails? I see that love and marriage game show was day 3….did you go? If so, how many people attend? Hopefully it will stay on that day for us since that is our wedding day!! Did you have a great time? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, how many people attend? Hopefully it will stay on that day for us since that is our wedding day!! Did you have a great time? Thanks again! There were around 1,300 guests on my sailing. There was one formal night but there was a second almost formal night with lobster on night 5 (Cozumel). I say "almost" because some crew talked it up like it would be a formal night with lobster but the cruise compass stated "Casual". Lobster was served. I did not attend Love & Marriage. There was so much going on I had to pick from things to do plus there was a group of friends on board so we often found ourselves at a bar or hanging out having fun but not attending every event. It was a fantastic cruise experience. I've looked at my calendar many times trying to figure out how to make room to book Odyssey again. All but one of my ten remaining 2021 cruises have CWC FCC applied to them and it gets messy using CWC when FCC has been applied (without loss of FCC) or I'd be very tempted to do a CWC on some of them and book Odyssey again. However I really like the cruises I have booked, so my next Odyssey cruise might have to wait until 2021. I've always liked Quantum class and Odyssey is a well executed evolution of a class I really enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formal nights are any night YOU want them to be. The rest of the ship observes it on day 3 on the 6 night itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more concerned with which night they served the lobster tails since we are trying to decide which day will have our free honeymoon dinner in the specialty restaurant (dont want to miss lobster lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KALCJ1 Posted September 12, 2021 #15 Share Posted September 12, 2021 You mention being in a category 4D …which deck were you on? We have a 4D deck 7 forward cabin…but really preferred deck 12 & centrally located. Just curious if the view will be ok looking out & just lifeboats looking down. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoconnl Posted September 13, 2021 #16 Share Posted September 13, 2021 so what bar would you recommend for a nice pre-dinner drink. We usually have a cocktail in the R-bar or champagne bar on other ships, but I'm not sure which ones on Odyssey will offer a similar experience. I was thinking maybe upstairs in the music hall towards the windows ,so the music is in the background. Thanks Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other bars have periods when they are quiet but also have music or events at times. Casino bar is convenient to the dining room. It wasn't smoky until deeper into the casino on my visits. Music hall on deck 4 bar was open and mostly without loud music until later. Same with Boleros. The pub didn't really get cranking until after 9pm. Schooner Bar may or may not have an event or music in the pre-dinner hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandebeach Posted September 13, 2021 #18 Share Posted September 13, 2021 In relation to taking some wedding photos, there were a lot of cute and quirky spots, like this hallway by the music hall and the back of the casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
