Tee & Chilli Posted April 3, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Check in was smooth. Arrived around 11:35 at the parking lot. From the lot to check in and boarding took less than 45 minutes. I was stressing out over making UDP and show reservations. All is well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Oceansaway17 Posted April 3, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 3, 2022 good luck. those guys from You tube - JJ Cruise had to drive 19 hours from Indiana due to SW flight cancelled. Look for them or watch their video. They are hosting a group of folks and they are the nicest guys who are married and cruise a lot. Also, I was supposed to be on this cruise but cancelled a few months back and then booked the Wonder for this Friday 8th. I have done Anthem and Ovation and was unsure if I would like Odyssey for some of the changes. Might give her a go next year. still do enjoy your trip and it might be interesting to ask how many folks missed the ship due to cancelled flights yesterday.

DerekB Posted April 3, 2022 #6 Share Posted April 3, 2022 If I understood correctly, you have the Unlimited Dining Package? If so, do you plan on trying to use it at the pub or Giovanni's wine bar? There has been VERY inconsistant reporting on if it works at either. Some stating that it worked at both, no problem - some saying it didn't work at either. And of course, some saying it worked at one and not the other - not to mention that it worked "sometimes." Just curious to hear if you go to either what you're experience is. I'll be joining in 20 days for the transatlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand some confusion early on, but by now the crew should have it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare perfect match Posted April 4, 2022 #12 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Thanks for the accessible balcony cabin pictures. We’re trying to get friends who need an accessible cabin to join us on Odyssey next year. Your pictures will help as they like to be able to see things like the positioning of grab rails and room layout in general before they book. Have a great cruise!

The only way someone using a scooter or wheelchair can get to Playmakers is by using the accessible elevator. Go to deck 15. Go to the back of the bumper cars. There is a hallway that looks like crew only. There is an elevator that takes you to deck 16. For everyone else, go to 15 and then take the steps to 16. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
