I just saw a wonderland video from Odyssey, and saw they added back a mad hatter- our very favorite cruise member ever!  If any of you onboard go, and catch his name, can you tell me?  While he always remembers us, and where we are from (he literally greatest us last time “hello my friends from Mn”), we ALWAYS forget his name… which i feel bad about it, but alas, I’m bad with names 😞

I think you may have seen the same video I watched today (not sure though).  If you look at the windows in the back of the restaurant, you can tell that the video was shot on an Oasis class ship.  Wonderland on the Odyssey is quite small and does not have the windows like on the Oasis ships.  Now, that is assuming we both watched the same video today that started with the Mad Hatter

Even though we don't cruise until November, I am so looking forward to the bumper cars.  It has been years since I have been on one.  IFly now that scares me.  John have your done the Northstar yet?   Is it a solid floor or glass?  I do have a fear of heights but really really want to do it.

 

Northstar is day 5, I believe.  Don't think floor is glass, but there is a glass floor at top of mid ship elevator bank that looks cool

and this is why I love going to Nassau.   Not so much for the port, but for the views around the port and with a ship in the distance.  toodles

 

Not Atlantis

So… just curious how crowded the shows are?  We are on the next sailing.  Out of an “abundance of caution”, we had planned on skipping, but your reviews made them sound so awesome!!!  

 

Haven't seen one yet, maybe tonight.

 

Overall very empty

How did you get on your back against the floor? ,

That has to be the oldest instructor I have ever seen working in the IFLY on a Royal Ship. Finding workers must be getting tough even for the cruise lines.

This is in the SL, they may have a similar on in DL, I haven't visited yet. Obviously need to be at least Diamond in C&A to use DL

 

This one was very nice.  JS and higher have a Lavazo espresso machine in room. Made a decent lungo yesterday

 

 

Our next 3 cruises are in suites.  Dumb question.  If I want to have a cup of coffee from the machine in our suite, how do I make a plain old cup of American coffee?  I have never adapted to all of the fancy sugar filled coffees and can't handle the caffeine jolt from expresso.  Just want to wake up and not stay jacked up for hours.  Thanks!

On the iFly I found that I had to get in the right position and freeze up my limbs to stay there.  The air is pushing against you and you have to hold steady.

I rolled over twice. He was good, I suck. Your comment is unwarranted and unnecessary 😒

Use the Americano button

It wasn’t until I did iFLY that I realized I had a lot of extra skin on my face!  😆

At The Book. 

 

My advice, arrive early😉

You did good!   I chickened out on our last sailing on Anthem.    Maybe I will do on our March sailing when we have our son and fiance with us as they really want to do it. 

I did it on the Quantum Inaugural seven years ago.  Let’s just say I wasn’t the worst one!  I also did the trapeze with my granddaughter. I refuse to do the Flowrider though😳

[John&LaLa]

I arrived 30 minutes early for The Book, and still couldn't find a solo seat down low. 

 

Balcony was Ok. I did get to see this, though

 

Thank goodness for masks 😷

More Old Fashioned's

Rum up in SL, no picture, but very good.

 

Makers Mark in MDR. Probably my favorite so far

 

Gentleman Jack in Pinnacle Lounge was sub par. But it did get me back on stage for Karaoke 🎤 🤪 

 

[John&LaLa]

Headed back to Music Hall for cover band. 

 

Legends of Rock 🤙

The Pub has Poutine🤣🍟

 

Prepping for concert

 

I'm at a high top in the back row if anyone wants to stop by
