Pickle Ball is the sport with the low net

[@pamelawiggins9131]

I like that virtual balcony. That natural light is nice.😇

[@CeremmoniesbyJudith]

Great video to watch during Day 2 of Bo's chemo. Even the nurse was watching a wee bit. 🙂🙃

[@ericchristensen7959]

Virtual Balcony wow! You both deserve the Presidential Suite!!!!

[@momcruiser]

I love the quantum class ships! They are very elegant and easy to get around. 270 is my favorite place on the whole ship.

[@usagiwasabi]

I'm not typically an interior room type of gal, but I'd consider that virtual balcony for a budget cruise! It's amazing the things they can do with technology - I especially love the real time footage broadcast.

[@cindiwigglesworth9781]

Getting out of bed in the morning isn't so bad, when I can have my coffee with you guys!🥰❤🥰

[@debbiepowell8172]

Great video!!! I laughed so hard at you trying to make sense of the “social distancing “ that only applies to certain chairs. The one thing that has remained the same concerning covid rules is “ it makes no sense “. Enjoy!!!

[@Teri30]

Wonderful ship…I love cruising Royal Caribbean!

[@pbainsadventure8566]

I love cruising Royal Caribbean too and I’ve only been on 0😂.

[@ronsteitz4535]

No balcony,No cruise for us on any ship. We spend a lot of time on our balconies as a rule. Especially on sea days when decks are crowded. Breakfast and lunch are best eating on our private balcony. I worked Third shift for many yrs.and wake up in wee hrs in the morning and love to go sit out on balcony.👍

[@lorettachapman4244]

When we cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale, we stay at that Hampton Inn always.. great place!

The sport with the nets closer to the ground is pickleball.

Loved that ship! Absolutely beautiful! Have fun.

I heard this melody on Adventure of the Seas. It certainly is catchy! Thanks for sharing guys.

That was fun. What a beautiful ship! Looking forward to more vlogs! 🥰🥰❤️❤️

Love the energy!

[@monicadepoy5157]

You STILL have the excitement that the rest of us have when we cruise once a year, if fortunate. Thanks

[@thedaviszone5187]

Yeah My Monday morning vlog!! So fun!!

[@NauticalNurseNancy]

Wow, those screens and technology looked pretty cool!! What a fun ship!

[@conniejohnson9005]

It really looked like there was something in the back left corner of B1. Run back and check it's only been 2 years. Hahaha!

[@thelaceyknight]

Hey Dee & Jay, thank you so much for starting this series! Wow this ship is sooo modern clean and big & beautiful! Love it so far! Cant wait to see more of your adventures this series!

[@leolataylor5767]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Funsizecruiser]

What a beautiful ship w/quite the lg interior cabin!! You had me fooled as i thought you had a standard balcony room. Thanks for sharing & I'll stay tuned for more...have fun!!

[@davidgillilan7457]

Wow what a gorgeous ship…

[@robertocaluori6543]

I’ve been looking forward to this series of vlogs….keep ´em coming!!!!! No breaks for Parodeejay….

[@Bevh626]

I have cruised on this ship. Loved it! You should have gotten an outer cabin!

[@parodeejay]

We like to cruise while keeping budget in mind when we can, so we can continue to cruise more often. I’d say we probably do 75% of our cruises in interior cabins. Plus, we wanted to see what the virtual “balcony” hype was all about, ha ha. Turns out it wasn’t all that exciting!! :P

[@jptraveladventures]

Excited to see the virtual balcony as I have one in April on symphony of the seas.

[@jeffreysadventuresyoutube]

Great ship tour! RCCL is on our list for 2022. Can’t wait!! The food looks great!!

[@DJMARVeMARV]

Loving the coordinated intro.

[@jamithering9744]

The windows on the walking track slope are in the Spa. Great fun getting a pedicure and watching people lean into the wind and the slope of the track.😂

[@lindellhamilton5852]

I'm addicted. Love you two. 🤣😊👍🏼💜💐.

[@carmeljackson1271]

I like the virtual balcony had it on the Navigator of the Sea in 2019 😀. Have a great time!!!

[@pbainsadventure8566]

@15:44 That’s the first negative thing I’ve heard you say in any of your vlogs for the two years I’ve been watching you guys and you still found a way to put it nicely…gatta love Parodeejay

Just returned off the Symphony of the Seas, great ship. Just booked this one, already excited.

[@theboguesandthensome3975]

That ship looks like a luxury mall. It is so beautiful!

[@rongendron8705]

I just got off the ship, 12/18/21 & agree with you about the luxury mall look!

[@juliamccoun6171]

Love the virtual balcony!!!!! I could do that inside cabin!

[@Teri30]

I love love the Music Hall, I wish all the Royal Caribbean ships had one.

[@carolbaldner5115]

Beautiful ship. It is so weird to see such empty ships.

[@MCXConnectHub]

Honestly I got to go on Odyssey Of The Seas. It looks awesome.

[@stevelewis1935]

Nice room. We enjoyed the Anthem. Like to cruise on the Odyssey. Our next 7 day cruise will put us in Diamond. Think we will get a few free drinks then. Thanks for the ship tour. The North Star is awesome. We went way up in it on the Anthem

[@jessicageriene6841]

What a beautiful ship, one day I hope to sail on one of the mega ships. Have you guys.

Congratulations

Good morning!

[@mercyrodriguez5780]

We booked Wonder OTS, should have done Odyssey first. Beautiful ship!

[@xdieromantic7x]

I was supposed to sail odyssey in December but we ended up pushing it and now im sad because it won’t be on that ship. It’s beautiful

[@jamesries5534]

For my wife and I.... we had a virtual balcony cabin about 3 years ago when we went on a Southern Caribbean(Bonaire, Aruba, and Curacao). We had issues with ours and were given another cabin. Same issues but after we left the cabin we came back to ours working.....for a while. I am not going to say NO to another virtual balcony because there might have been a glitch in the one we had. We did have it on all night because of the sea noise. Too bad they don't have a scented virtual balcony.

[@rongendron8705]

I just got off the "Odyssey of the Seas" last Saturday, Dec. 18th, 2021, & was mostly impressed with the ship! I had a balcony cabin but saw a few "virtual cabins" & was very impressed with them, especially if you were wanted the cheapest fare! However, if you are not able to walk long distances, you may have trouble traversing this ship, as the restaurant & theaters are on either end, nearly a 1000 feet away! I had about 3000 aboard & experienced some problems using the free activities! I wonder what will happen when the ship is full?

[@willcooper6980]

I would go to as many events in 270 as possible. Plus the North Star and bumper cars.

[@CS-rg9bv]

How would you compare this class of ship to Edge-class? Which did you like the most?

[@parodeejay]

Odyssey was fantastic from a technological front with their shows and such, but the Edge-class is still our favorite overall, with Beyond being our favorite!! :D

After moving to Florida it is too hot for my long hair. I have been trying to decide what to do with it. Problem solved. I’m taking a picture of Dee to the hairdresser and saying I need this haircut. Think that will be the perfect length for me. Thanks Dee. Lol love the seat thing your so funny. Glad you felt safe social distancing from Dee outside. Think that dragonfly liked being next to her.🤣

[@monicadepoy5157]

What type of booking allows you to use the solarium area Bistro, etc. ?

[@jackiebyers3424]

The Solarium is open to all adult guests (usually over age 16 or 18, I think). Bistro is open to all cruisers regardless of cabin type. I love the Solarium.

[@barbarashuster9029]

Good choice of socks after our great game vs Cincinnati!

[@mandmgirl7227]

How do you do an Uber lift. Never used Uber so was wondering how it works. Love from Canada🐱🇨🇦

[@parodeejay]

They’re competitors called Uber and Lyft that I typically combine into my word “UberLyft”because we use both, whichever is cheaper at that moment, ha ha… it’s a rideshare app where “normal” folks offer up their vehicular services to drive you places. You just type in where you want to go, and it gives you pricing for different sized cars. Like a taxi service that’s always on call from your app, hah. We love it!! :D

[@mandmgirl7227]

Thank you for your help ☺️

[@archerychampion]

Low nets might be for pickleball.

[@parodeejay]

Yes indeed! We learned that, but not until day two, ha ha... never played it!! :D

How much is a mini suite

[@parodeejay]

It would depend on the sail date, I'm sure. I'd say try a mock booking on Royal's website for any dates you might be interested in.

Studies show that c thing can be easily transmitted through orange Adirondack chairs.

[@alk61695]

Do all interior cabins come with the virtual cabin or is that a special category? Also what very ugly socks.

[@Drknnja]

Yes on Quantum class ships, either virtual balcony or virtual view (window). Navigator has a few cabins with the feature (was the test ship) and I believe a few are available on Symphony and Harmony

[@mp5cartman]

The chair situation on Royal Caribbean needs to be fixed. It is just being a hassle and does not make sense at all. Everybody was tested and vaccinated, they need to relax with the chair restrictions a bit.

[@Pantherjonvideos]

Those darn adirondock(sp?) chairs are such a hazard! BUT, the chaise loungers are much safer, they have special nylon/unobtanium material that absorbs the C thingy..That's what it must be.🙃
