New info from Royal Caribbean on Odyssey of the Seas




Royal Caribbean announced further details on it's upcoming "Quantum Ultra" ship, Odyssey of the Seas.  Some of the highlights include a re-imagined pool deck, new dining, and tons of new entertainment.

Odyssey sailing start in November 2020 from Ft. Lauderdale.  She will then move to Rome in May 2021 for the summer season.




From the press release:

Bold in every direction, Odyssey’s highlights include the ultimate SeaPlex activity space that delivers a dose of adrenaline with new thrills, a little friendly competition and the most interactive arcade at sea. Adding to the mix, Odyssey will debut a reimagined Adventure Ocean where young adventure seekers can choose their own immersive experiences across an entirely new layout, while a new maxed-out teen lounge with gaming consoles, music and movies will provide endless hangout options indoors and outdoors on an exclusive patio. When it’s time to refuel, guests can enjoy the new Teppanyaki restaurant serving Far East flavors, and Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar with rustic Italian dishes and a contemporary flair. Entertainment across the ship will be punctuated by high-tech signature productions in the Royal Theater and Two70, where art and multimedia merge for surrounding, jaw-dropping performances only on Odyssey.

“Odyssey of the Seas will set an all-new standard created to deliver the most memorable vacations by combining immersive experiences, the best of Royal Caribbean’s trendsetting innovations and the signature ‘Royal Way’ service of our dedicated crew members,” said Michael Bayley, President and CEO, Royal Caribbean International. “This Quantum Ultra Class ship introduces a new way to see the world as she becomes our first purposefully built vessel for island hopping on both sides of the Atlantic.”


Fun Stuff:
Odyssey will feature the next generation of the Quantum Class' SeaPlex fun zone which is the largest indoor activity space at sea where there will be bumper cars, trapeze, laser tag, and sports.  There will also be the most interactive arcade to ever sail which will dominate the upper level of SeaPlex with VR games for individual and group play, augmented reality walls and floors for high-tech competitions and family experiences.  All that will be overlooked by Playmakers Sports Bar & Arcade which boasts a prime location within SeaPlex, with TVs at every angle and club-level views of the competition below and onscreen.  There will also be other favorites like the FlowRider, RipCord by iFly, and SkyPad.




Just Relax:
Odyssey will feature a two-level pool deck will offer a variety of options to sit back and soak up the sun with two open-air, resort-style pools and four whirlpools, surrounded by plenty of shady casitas and hammocks.  The Lime and Coconut bar will be two levels overlooking the pool area and you can grab some Mexican classics at El Loco Fresh.  

For the kids, there will be Splashaway Bay and for the adults, the peace of the Solarium.



Are you not entertained?
Royal's Quantum ships have some of the highest tech entertainment and Odyssey will continue that trend with Two70 which boasts 270-degree panoramic windows with sweeping ocean views from an expansive open area living room, which transforms in plain sight into a 135-foot-wide and 22-foot-tall screen.  At night the space turns into a multidimensional theater – where a troupe of six agile Roboscreens come to life in sync with music, special effects and multitalented live performers and aerialists.

In the Music Hall there will be an always-changing set list of live performances to enjoy.


Hungry Yet?
New on Odyssey will be Teppanyaki, serving authentic oriental flavors cooked in one of Japan’s traditional styles. Giovanni’s Italian Kitchen & Wine Bar is a new twist on an old favorite and will feature all you would expect in a classic Italian trattoria including hand-tossed pizzas fresh out of the oven.

There will also be Royal Caribbean favorites, Izumi, Chop’s Grille, Chef’s Table, and Wonderland.
