Fellow Residents, Chris aka Zeus & Laura aka Hera, pictured below love a good Murder Mystery night. They go all out and this one had 120 passengers, the Captain, Hotel Manager and several other Crew and the entertainment staff participating, in this ship wide event.  We were all given roles, and togas with Greek or Roman roles.  Many of the Gods and Goddess had major roles while many others, just played along.

Bosco loves a good role play event and he was given the part of Leto, the mistress of Zeus who bore him his twins Apollo and Artemis. Bosco committed to the role and shaved his beard off to play Leto. Mimi, the daughter of Kim & Phil who is a theatrical makeup artist, just happened to be visiting and she did his makeup. So many people had no idea who he was! Luckily he escaped the murders that claimed the lives of his 2 children! 

Here are some of my other favorite characters of the night!

We broke into 5 teams to compete and try and solve the murders. I was suppose to be part of the green team, but had my wrist band on backwards and thought I was with the silver group, for the first hour of play!! We had a scavenger hunt all over the ship looking for clues. Some really got into their roles - it was a fun way to pass a sea day !

DILI, TIMOR LESTE

By Pat Patrick • April 23, 2026
We met up with the Ship in Timor Leste or East Timor, one of the youngest countries in the World . This sovereign state just gained their independence on May 20, 2002 from prior Portuguese rule (1515 until 1975) and Indonesian occupation (1975 until 1999). The Ship was anchored off the coastal town of Dili, the capital city with a population of roughly 1.4 million.

FAREWELL TO YEBEN ISLANDS, RAJA AMPAT, INDONESIA

I know people laugh when I say we took a vacation from the Ship , they view this whole amazing voyage as a vacation! But the reality is the Ship is my home now, and almost everybody loves a vacation away from home, to unwind and recharge! So my life on the Odyssey, is not that different. I really appreciated my two weeks away at Eco Cove Resort , on Yeben Island in Raja Ampat, Indonesia !

RAJA AMPAT - FINAL DIVES FOR NOW!

By Pat Patrick • April 19, 2026
I got to do 14 dives and 5 snorkel trips over our two weeks at Eco Cove Resort. I feel much more confident and comfortable diving, practice does truly help! Eco has these t-shirts that list all their Resort excursions - we made a nice dent in all of them and it's hard to pick a favorite!
