Year 5, Day 187 “Living the Dream”. Monday, 11/03/2025 – Day 28 of 30 day trip to Rome, Italy with a Mediterranean cruise and a transatlantic cruise back to Bayonne, NJ. Day 13 of 14 night transatlantic cruise on Odyssey of the Seas – At sea day 5 of 6 traveling from Tenerife, Canary Islands to Bayonne, NJ. Just today and tomorrow left. Since I had some casino winnings, I had another manicure pedicure done at 7:30am. Jenneth did a great job on my nails. The best manicures and pedicures are done on cruise ships. Although they can be expensive. I elected to get a less elaborate one this cruise and the cost was $138.24. Jenneth my nails technician is headed home to the Philippines when we get off the ship. She was supposed to get off before this cruise. She had to stay on for this cruise because her replacement never made the cruise due to flight delays. Jenneth loves this ship and her job with Royal Caribbean.
I also met Kevin the happy smiley hairdresser. He is moving to the Celebrity Equinox soon. We are scheduled to go on her in 2027.
We have very calm seas with very little sun and 68 degrees Fahrenheit today.
The deck by the pool is crowded with people wrapped blankets. Walking inside the ship there are barf bags on the stairwells for passengers experiencing seasickness. The Captain’s daily noon time announcement explains why they are there. There is a low pressure system developing off the east coast of the United States that we cannot avoid. Therefore tomorrow will be pretty bumpy with 40 to 45 mph winds. Across the deck you can expect 60 to 65 mph winds. Some decks will be closed. The waves will be 12 to 14 feet all day tomorrow and all the way into Bayonne, NJ. Woohoo – should be fun.
Here’s a video of the Solarium Bistro at lunch time on a sea day. If the Windjammer is completely flooded with people, you might want more peace and quiet. Then walk to the Solarium Bistro for your breakfast and/or lunch.
Our last time change is tonight with another hour back. Notices are out for ship departure in Bayonne.
Cruise Compass Day 13 of 14 – Odyssey of the Seas – At sea
A little something to ponder.
Here’s a link to today’s Amazon recommendation: https://amzn.to/492X2ol Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Straw: Perfect for traveling. Great on cruise ships. The ships water is fantastic. Much better than carrying the plastic water bottles. Especially if you are as concerned about adding more Microplastics in your body as I am. It is BPA, lead, and phthalate-free.
