    Life on an Odyssey...
    
    	From their thoroughbred lines to the state-of-the-art stabilizers,
    navigation and communication equipment, the Odyssey ships are a
    pinnacle of a long legacy of truly fine cruising vessels.  Their
    broad decks are always immaculate, and their brightwork sparkles
    from loving attention.  Inside, your Odyssey is finished with rich
    leather, polished hardwoods, plush carpets and attractive artwork.
     Tables are set with fine European linens, Royal Doulton China,
    sparkling crystal and silverware.  Fresh flowers and live plants
    are everywhere.  In the dining room, your personal steward will guide
    you through the sumptuous menus and wine list and take care of any
    special requests.
    
    All the comforts of home, and more...
    
    	Your spacious stateroom is filled with the sort of luxurious
    amenities which will make it a home away from home.  Three-channel
    music system, ample closets, American electrical current, individual
    temperature control and a roomy modern bathroom, warm pastel decor,
    plus the thoughtful daily service by your personal cabin steward
    and the convenience of 24-hour room service by phone.
    
    
    Well, that should give you some idea of the ship.  Have fun!

    I have not been on the Royal Odyssey, but my parents have - several
    times.  They book at least one cruise a year on this ship, and have
    nothing but good to say about it.
    
    So far they've been on the RO to the far east, the Panama Canal,
    last year Australia, next year Scandanavia.
    
    Since they are very picky people, I'm inclined to believe that this
    ship is as good as they say.
