The water in The Bahamas is like the fountain of youth. Just stunning!

Coco Cay was fun, it’s a little theme park-like though. Pristine water, the adults only side was very nice.

Odyssey is to the left and one of the newer ships in the fleet.

Great Ship, Selected Areas Could Use More Staff
"On night 7 there was another production show called The Effectors, a high energy space type people doing some good songs.The next night we were in Aruba with an all board time of 9:30 PM and I guess because of that there was no show in the theater that night which was disappointing as it appeared that a lot of people were back on board by supper time...."Read More

My experience on Odyssey was generally positive, with a few hiccups. Here are some pros and cons: Pros: -The ship is beautiful, easily navigable, and well-equipped -The staff were all exceptionally friendly -My stateroom was spotlessly clean and had plenty of storage -Onboard activities were fun and diverse, but you need to book ahead of time! -The destinations on this ...

RCCL Odyssey of the Seas -- absolutely horrible!

Unbelievable experience on this ship! Where to start... The first day I found that all of the reservations that I had made for dinner were gone from the RCCL app so my husband and I went to the Main Dining Room directly to find out our dining time. It was a bit crowded, so I sought out a member of the wait staff that was outside of the dining room to explain our situation and seek guidance. ...

All great but entertainment a little lacking.

We love this class of ship. So many great venues. We’ve sailed on Ovation before and were really excited as Odyssey is even larger and has a couple additional places to dine or drink. We are a bit disappointed in the overall lack of appealing entertainment with some terrific venues being underutilized. Two70 sits eerily quiet during the day on sea days whereas Ovation had some live music. The ...

For the amount of money we paid for this cruise. It was not worth it. 1. Our balcony room couch/bed was like a hard block. We had to double up on comforters for the kids to sleep better. 2. the stateroom attendant was never around. We had to constantly call for towels, toilet paper, tissues. 3. the Windjammer food was the same for breakfast every day and even during lunch and dinner ...

This was our 8th cruise on Royal Caribbean. we've been on the Oasis class at least 4 times and on the Quantum class 4 times. The quantum class is our favorite, and the Odyssey did not disappoint. Embarkation: we signed up for the KEY program, which comes with free Wi-fi streaming for each guest who gets the key, and you can board early and there are a few benefits throughout the cruise (we ...

Cost cutting throughout, below RC Standards

Despite prices rising the last few years across all of RC’s ships, the cost cutting continues. Once a day stateroom service is a joke. RC should be embarrassed by this. When I was at guest services for a different matter, they grasped at straws to come up with explanations, or as I called them, excuses, as to why this was the case. My favourite was, “well all inclusive resorts only offer once a ...

A family of 14 travelled to Fort Lauderdale for an incredible gift from my mom on this adventure. I haven't been cruising for about 10 years (raising my kids) and I really loved my return to open water! Good things: 1. The ship was well maintained and flowed nicely. Our cabin and room attendant was 5star plus. 2. The windjammer was better than I remembered. 3. The ports of call ...

I have 12 Royal cruises under my belt before this and number 13 was NOT the lucky one. I cruised with my wife and my 17 year old son. This was the first RC cruise I went on where I did not have that, "I want to come back" feeling. The GOOD 1. Our waiter in the main dining room was spectacular. She was the shinning star of the cruise. 2. The casino was less smokey compared to other ...

We were on the ship as part of the Park West VIP program. Our previous cruise ships were in the 2200-3300 passenger range or smaller, so this was a departure in size, over 50% larger than our previous cruises. For the most part the ship accommodates the number of passengers well but they didn't increase the number or size of the bars and lounges enough to take the increased passenger load into ...

This will be the first and last time we cruise with Royal Caribean in any capacity. The food was all around pretty terrible, every soda machine except for 1 was broken during our first 5 days, the remaining that did work had very limited options as all diet options were sold out after day 2. You would think a cruise ship of this size would have a repair man so customers aren't all waiting 30 ...
