Year 5, Day 177 “Living the Dream”. Friday, 10/24/2025 – Day 18 of 30 day trip to Rome, Italy with a Mediterranean cruise and a transatlantic cruise back to Bayonne, NJ. Day 3 of 14 night transatlantic cruise on Odyssey of the Seas – Sea day 2 of 2 traveling from Civitavecchia, Italy to Cartagena, Spain. Most of the day we just wandered the ship. The sea is much calmer today. First thing is a deck four video.

















Had to capture this interesting picture.

We went to the Top Tier event for Diamond Plus and Pinnacle. The best part of the event was the Captain entertained us. You have to watch the video of Captain Marek Slaby singing. He is a great performer. Hoping as we do this crossing and Melissa approaches that he is a great Captain as well. Actually, I am hoping he is a better Captain. He warned us of the upcoming storm. He said – “Just remember you are the ones who booked a transatlantic cruise in November” . I think we are in trouble.






Viewed my home cameras and my African Violet is liking me not being home.




A little afternoon house research and also casino time.

Tonight is Dress your best night. You never know who is watching you or at your door. Throw a towel over that dog. We headed to dinner and while we were getting dressed for dinner. Someone ducked us. Going to rehide her.




The view is always beautiful when the sun is setting or rising over the ocean from the sea.
