Creator's Key Takeaways

I found the ship to be very unique and different compared to other cruise ships.

The entire service team on Odyssey of the Seas was fantastic.

The food was a huge improvement because we did choose to pay extra and do the specialty dining.

I was so relieved to see a child lock on the veranda door on Odyssey.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book dinner at specialty restaurants during sunset if they have a sea view.

✓Make sure to meet Captain Merrick if he's still on the Odyssey.

✓Consider the Cocoa Beach Club upgrade for a special day.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Child safety on veranda doors — Odyssey has child locks on veranda doors, which is a relief compared to older ships.

Rough seas on winter cruises — Being on a newer ship like Odyssey helps with rough seas, and the food is better for relaxing.
