Oh how exhausting that would be, I think I would more like to relax then keep up with a thread on here for 9 months.

Maybe do a brief report once a week would be more doable.

 

Probably nightly recaps, with some breaks during our port intensive sections

If I may, I have a couple more questions.

 

1- Can you tell me which pier the Odyssey docks at in Port Everglades?

2- did the do the Love and marriage show (I know old and cheesey, but we always like it.

3- According to some port site websites, they are showing the Feb 12 sailing as having arrival time on 2/16 in Curaçao at noon instead of listed 8am.   What time did you arrive in Curaçao?

 

thanx again for all your fantastic pictures and hints and suggestions.  I know they will help us make the most of our sailing.

We arrived early 

 

I don't recall Love and Marriage.  I'll post rest of compasses tomorrow

Then fortunately, you won't be the one doing it.

I would be curious to see what the final cost for the things you decide to do at all the ports? but then again you may be better off not knowing what you are spending at all the port stops. Could get ugly really fast.  That is what would scare me on a cruise like that?

But since the issue involves you, your point is the only one that matters.

Did you know that you can download the Royal app now, select the current sailing on the Odyssey and you will see the daily menus for all dining venues? Actually looks like they have them all up to the middle of May. 

I just checked the app for my May Cruise and gained 10 lbs just reading it

Have you already been all over the world, or will many of these ports be new to you?

And a great way to remember things. I find I forget places and names. A diary would be an excellent way to document your adventure.

Dinner tonight was with Pat and Bucky. They're staying on for the 6 day Western.

 

In theater now for the comic. 

 

Bailey's is always a good after dinner, but before binging drink. 😉

 

Not sure I mentioned this but extra leg room along the wall where tend to sit.👍

[John&LaLa]

Had lunch at Giovanni's Wine Bar

 

Meatballs $9

 

Fried Lasagna $9

 

Reminds me of the fried mac n cheese at Cheesecake Factory

 

Giovanni's Pizza. 

 

 

Our bill was $2.36 since we applied our $25 Pinnacle dinner voucher. 😁

 

It was very tasty, but be aware they cover it in ground black pepper. Next time we'll ask for it lighter.  

 

They also drizzle it with honey. I asked for it on the side.

[Ocean Boy]

@John&LaLayou should try an espresso martini with Bailey's and see what you think. I got hooked on them.

Thank you for this photo. 
The Meyers are a branch of my family, and all of my family lives in Papenburg except for the descendants of my grandparents. They came to NY in 1909, and everyone else stayed in Papenburg. 
My cousin Bernhard headed up Meyer Werft (Works in English) but like me, he’s getting old. Probably retired now. 
They stay very busy, probably because they build good ships. 

Wow, Mimi!  How interesting!!  Now I see where your great interest in ships and boats comes from!😉

Plus I moved from

New York City to Jacksonville Fl at the tender age of 3 months on a passenger ship. Clyde Mallory Lines Chippewa. 
So cruising is in my blood!

Did you observe and see what the amounts of each liquor is in the Crescendo? Equal amounts, or more of one of them? Inquiring minds would love to know. 😁

It sounds like it would be fun.  Worth a try! Thanks

If you try it, do not use the headset the first time. It is fun with it, but disorienting. I enjoyed it more without the headset most times
