First look at my Cabin !!!

I flew overnight Philly to Dublin, got in at 8:15am, took the 9am Bus from Dublin Airport to Downtown Belfast, roughly 2 hours and hired a Cab to take me from bus depot to Harlon & Wolff shipyard to go on board the Odyssey for the first time since early June. After a quick stop at guest services to pick up my room keys, I headed down the Lido Deck to my Cabin #6065. Here's my first impressions!

I am really happy with size, layout and furnishing - what I expected! The artwork is fine, like the Van Gogh vibes from Provence - had a great trip there and it is bright and sunny! Had to track down one of my suitcases, but everything else was there and waiting for me.

Going to take a few days to unpack and get settled, more to come.

PAPEETE - NIGHT LIFE- BACHLORETTE PARTY

By Patricia Patrick • January 19, 2026
I threw together an impromptu Bachelorette party for Angie tonight! Angie and Gian are getting married for a third time in Hawaii next week.They will be alone this time and it turns out she never had a Shower or Bachelorette to celebrate her first 2 marriages on the Ship, last May! Our girl deserved a fun night to celebrate her! So we took over a section the outdoor seating at Les 3 Brassuers, and their great band had us all up dancing! It's amazing what you can do with a bunch of WhatsApp messages to fellow ladies, some tulle, sparkles and always handy flower lei's ! One of the ladies even went and bought her some lingerie! I love our supportive community!

PAPEETE, FRENCH POLYNESIA

By Patricia Patrick • January 19, 2026
I got to go Sailing Again! We were supposed to head to the COOK ISLANDS after the lovely Rangiroa and the Tuamotu Archipelago, but due to stormy weather there, with all unprotected tender ports, they made the decision to head us southwest, back to the protected port in Papeeta (Tahiti). We got lucky and Holly ( pictured below) found us a sailboat available for charter.

RANGIROA, FRENCH POLYNESIA - Drone Shots

By Patricia Patrick • January 14, 2026
Since Janette Emerich is generous enough to share her drone photos with all of us on board the Ship, I have to share them with you all. This beauty is why I said we felt like we were in a screen saver the whole day in Rangiroa! I love the height perspective in the photos it really captures so much more. Blue Lagoon below:
