1. GET YOUR GAME ON AT SEAPLEX
The largest indoor activity space at sea, SeaPlex, is a staple on every Quantum Class ship — but the one onboard Odyssey of the Seas takes playtime to a whole new level. It’s home to a reimagined upper deck that introduces the most interactive arcade ever to set sail. Here, you’ll find everything from classic to modern games. Plus a Playmakers℠ Sports Bar & Arcade, offering game day faves with prime views of all the action below in the bumper cars arena. Head’s up — it also transforms into a roller rink and the scene of epic glow-in-the-dark laser tag battles.
2. SUIT UP FOR AN EPIC LASER TAG BATTLE IN CLASH FOR THE CRYSTAL CITY
The SeaPlex onboard Odyssey of the Seas is also home to the latest glow-in-the-dark laser tag faceoff: Clash for the Crystal City. If you’re brave enough to suit up for this adrenaline-amping experience, you’ll get to go head-to-head against Yetis or Snowshifters as you race to claim a mythical ice city and save your clan from extinction.
3. HANG TEN ON THE FLOWRIDER*
As far as iconic top deck attractions go, the FlowRider* is by far one of the most popular among our guests. This 40-foot-long surf simulator cycles 30,000 gallons of rushing water over an incline, providing prime waves all day for anybody looking to brush up on their surf skills. You can tame the tide on your feet like a pro, boogie board over the swell, or watch wipeouts from the stadium seating. Whatever you choose, though, prepare to get splashed.
4. SOAK UP THE VIEWS FROM NORTH STAR
When you cruise with us, every experience is about raising the bar and creating unforgettable moments. One of the best examples of this is North Star, an observation capsule that raises you over 300 feet above sea level so you can soak up breathtaking 360-degree views of the surrounding sights. It holds the Guinness World Record as the tallest viewing deck on a cruise ship — and it should definitely be on your list of must-try onboard attractions during your Odyssey of the Seas adventure.
5. ROCK OUT AT MUSIC HALL
Catch some of the best cover bands in the music business at Music Hall, a multi-level concert venue where the atmosphere is always buzzing and the performances always live up to the hype. You can boogie to the beat on the dance floor and enjoy front row views of the stage, or jam out from the bar or intimate lounge spaces throughout the venue. From disco to country to classic rock, every show here is out of this world.
6. CUE THE ISLAND VIBES AT THE LIME & COCONUT
No island-hopping cruise getaway is complete without an island bar — and that’s where The Lime and Coconut comes in. No matter where in the world you’re cruising on Odyssey of the Seas, this multi-level poolside hangout dials up the Caribbean vibes with refreshing tropical cocktails across two bars, live music and DJs, and plenty of opportunities to unwind and enjoy the sunshine. At night, this deckside hotspot comes alive and transforms into the ultimate tropical turn-up.
7. DAZZLE ALL YOUR SENSES AT TWO70®
It’s a place that can take you anyplace —welcome to Two70®. Where cutting-edge tech can transform 270 degrees of windows two stories high right before your eyes. One minute you’re soaking up sweeping ocean views, the next you’re totally immersed in another place, anywhere in the world —or maybe somewhere you’ve never even imagined.
