I wrote about how the Internet aboard ship is “…Really?” back in April. Time for an update.
Health Emergencies while Residential Cruising
It all comes down to one thing: Doing your homework.
Ship Life
One Year In: Life On The Odyssey
September 30 marks one year since we sailed away from Belfast, finally starting our Residential Cruising journey that we set into motion in May of 2023.
Our Talented Performers
I’m often asked if we have entertainment onboard, “like a regular cruise ship.” Indeed so. They vary in their quality, right up to absolutely superb.
The Light at Night
I’ve talked about “community” and the talented people on board our ship from several different angles. This one is a very different angle.
Party Like There’s No Tomorrow
“Wednesday is canceled.”
The Media Takes Notice
It’s true that “the media” has long been interested in the Residential Cruising concept, even if I did have to kick them to look at the bigger picture.
Jumping Ship for a Bit
We are on our way back to the ship after 15 days ashore. The “why” is an example of one of the options for how to do routine medical care when you live a Residential Cruising life.
Dock Rock
Kit and I have both noticed that when we get off the ship onto solid soil, we often feel like we are still “rocking” as if we’re still aboard the ship. Other residents make similar comments: it’s obviously common for those of us who have been aboard for quite awhile (over 8 months now!)
The Tobago Surprise
The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is an island nation I’ve long known of since learning about the West Indies. I learned a bit more because our ship’s Chief Purser, Alex, grew up there, and still lives there.
How’s the Internet …Really?
So how’s the Internet aboard …really? For me, the vast majority of time: Satisfactory! But….
The Officers Answer Questions
Some Q&As with, particularly, our two captains helps to explain the differences between cruising, and Residential Cruising.
Time Zones When Cruising Around the World
What time is it? Time to answer one of the most-asked questions. Seriously!
Launch Checklist
Coming along? Here’s what you need to do first, not counting the obvious of reserving your space, flying to meet the ship, yadda yadda. This is necessarily slanted toward Americans since that’s what I know, but others can probably get some ideas here too.
