Creator's Key Takeaways

We just spent seven days on Royal Caribbean's Odyssey of the Seas. We sailed over New Year's.

It was our first New Year's cruise and we absolutely loved it.

So Odyssey of the Seas was not a bad choice for us. has a bad bed, but it wasn't a bad choice.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider a room location that avoids busy areas for a quieter experience.
If you need a softer bed, note it when booking or bring a mattress topper.
Book specialty dining or packages in advance for better value.
