Just be aware that there is a 50/50 chance of getting onto Grand Cayman. Unfortunately, our tour had to be canceled due to rough seas shortly after one of the tenders tore a piling from the pier due to the high surf. Other than that, Odessey is incredible! We just returned yesterday. Happy sailing! ⛵️
This is our forth cruise. Our first time on Royal Caribbean. We are leaving March, out of Fort Lauderdale. We booked a virtual inside cabin, on the 10th floor. We will see how this turns out
My kids and l are going on the Odyssey Dec 2023. I am not a fan of the balcony but l like to be in the middle/ middle of the ship..l chose the 6th floor with the obstructive balcony because the room was larger. I am afraid of heights l have no plans to go out on the balcony. Lol..
Great video. Question for you regarding the "secret" spacious ocean view. How come you prefer a lower floor corner room over a higher floor room? I have a 9110 room but the 11th floor corners rooms both just became available.
11 is the same deck as Adventure Ocean which is very convenient if you have kids. I think it came to size. Some appear to be a little larger than others.
Thanks! I think 11 looks slightly bigger by the bed than 8 or 9 from looking at the video. i think I’ll just stick with the 9 because I heard that higher floors are not as ideal for people who gets a little sea sick.
Super helpful video. Thank you. I'm on a 7th floor balcony on Odyssey 7580 and reservation says 0% obstruction, but I think I'll be looking over a lifeboat (sigh...). Is it worth trying to switch? Will they even do that?
You can switch if there is something available in your category. But I don’t think it will be bad. If that location on the ship is good for you, then I wouldn’t move.
I'm going with my 18-year-old daughter. So we don't really need to be near the adventure place. We just want to quiet location with great views. Also, I hear that You could feel more movement at the front of the ship. Can I change my room at this point? Our cruise is June 9th. I didn't see anywhere to change it online, so I guess I have to call. Also, is it worth it to bid on an upgraded room? This is our first cruise. Thank you so much for your help. 😊
Cabin 7188 says on my info 5D but obstructed. 5d on the deck places doesn’t say obstructed. Can you please advised ? It was a guaranteed ( the choose) cabin so not sure I can switch .
On the Odyssey, deck 6 is where the lifeboats are. My guess is, there is a lifeboat just below your balcony. 5Ds on that deck are sporadic, so it’s probably a pretty good view, especially at a GTY. Very centrally located. I would say that’s a good assignment.
We needed connecting rooms but rooms 10127 and 10129 are directly below Adventure Ocean and it sounds like a herd of elephants are up there. Do not recommend those cabins at all.
We just got assigned 13231 with "they choose" -- do you think we might have a problem with pool noise above us? We've never been this close previously. Thank you!!
I personally have never had an issue with pool noise when directly below the pool. I know some people report it, but we love being this close the the pool deck
There will be some pros and cons. Pro - you have an extra large balcony. Cons - It will be a little obstructed because of the liftboats. Also, you have a long walk to the closest elevator. Not horrible, but a lot depends on the mobility of your party. Hope that helps.
