Royal Caribbean website

@@bobwebb71048 thank you!!

There were over 6,000 on our ship.

It was very crowded around the pool with 6,000 people but everything else was greT

It's an amazing ship. Getting on is a hassle. They gave us a time to board and said they would not let us in until our time. We were early so we stopped at Starbucks. We git to the terminal the traffic was back up fo a quarter mile to drop off our bags then we hand to stand in a long line for 45 minutes t get on the ship. Most in the line had late boarding times but no one checked. Get there as early as you can. My grandkids parent had a tough time waiting with the kids because they waited for ther 12:30 boarding time

@@bobwebb71048 wow, my boys are teens our ck in time is 1:30. I see they didnt allow cams on their slides?

Our time was 11:30. We got their around 11 and the traffic was long to drop off our bags. The parking garage was full and they sent us to a parking lot which was almost full. Not sure where the rest of the cars were parking. The line to get into the terminal was around the building. When we asked what time they were suppose to enter almost everyone's time was after 12:30. We asked if there was a line for 11:30 and were told to just get in the line. It took us over 45 minutes to get inside the terminal. We told thm we are royal carribean diamond members but that didn't help. My one daughter has 2 boys under 5. She got there at her Scheduled time around 12:30. She didn't get in to the ship until almost 3. It was so stressful with kids she was crying when she got to her room. Everything after all that was great. We had an amazing time. Hope you experience is less stressful. Get there early!

we will also be on the Oasis on 8/21-8/28. Look for me in the casino :>)

@@cliffs1956 Im sure ill see you then. Ill be the the guy with the big head looking confused😀😀😀😃

Glad you enjoyed the video. We had a great time. It was a fun group to travel with. Hope all your travels are as enjoyable

Thanks you! The metal bed frame is 2 ft X 6 ft. For the bed surface, I cut 2 feet off the bottom of 4' X 8' sheet of half inch plywood. I used this piece to make the cupholder table. I cut the remaining 4' x 6' plywood in half. I joined the two pieces with a piano hinge so that the 2 ft x 6 ft bed can be opened to 4 ft x 6 ft. Currently I have everything apart and in storage so that I can use the van for babysitting my grandkids. I'm hoping to you use everything this fall to go camping when the weather cools off. If I can get time off babysitting I will take more picture and a video and post them.

Bob Webb what is the weight capacity of the bed for each side?

@@amechealle5918 not sure of weight capacity but it handles 2 adults

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It was an amazing cruise

Thank you. I wanted something simple that I can use and then easily store when I'm not camping. I can also use it when I take my grandkids on a picnic.

I have designed the sink so that it is small enough to go anywhere in the van. Its light enough that I can also move it outside. I dont have any pictures of it in the van. Next time I use the van I will take pictures

The bech is 6 ft x 2 ft. Open into a bed its 4 x 6. I used a 4 x 8 piece of plywood. I cut 2 ft off the top and used that for the table

I used 1 inch pvc. I used 1/2 inch plywood for the bench/bed.

Its 15 x 15 and 24 inches tall. Not sure how much it weighs but its light enough to move easily. Since the video I added handles on the front and back to make it easy to pick up and move around inside the van or take out side. That's the advantage of using gallon bottles of water. They don't weigh a lot, are easy to replace, I can carry spares or buy them at the store. I wanted to be able to convert the Odyssey into a camper and then back into a family car with no damage to the vehicle.

Sounds great. I haven't had a chance to use my camper yet. I'm still looking at better ways to make it convenient for two people. I designed the camper so that my wife and I can take long weekend trips. We needed a bed wide enough to sleep together but can be folded out of the way when we are not sleeping. The way I have it configured we can access the space from either sliding door. To get extra space we will pull the front seat up as far as they go. There is storage under the bed for storage and 2 folding chairs. We will use an ice chest that will double as a second table. The sink takes up a little space but it is light and can be moved easily.Since we only plan to use it for short trips we will have plenty of space to move aournd inside.

@@bobwebb71048 So far I've only camped out by my house. The advantage of having a no-build build is that I was able to try out a lot of different combinations. I once tried 3 in one week. If I could only get out that 3rd row bench it would add some storage room. I also took out the folding cupholder table between the front seats so I could more easily move from the front seat to the back. Since I never use the armrests I would also like to take them off as well. My biggest concern now that my van is almost at 200,000 is the timing belt job and everything associated with that.

Luckily the 2019 rear seats fold down out of the way. It's a pain removing the second row seats. They are heavy and hard to handle but with them out and the front seats moved up there is over 8 feet of space. Since the bed is only 6 ft long that gives me 2 plus feet. The nice thing about it all is that I can easily remove everything with no damage to the car and can convert it back to six seats for my grandkids. We are hoping to try it this spring for short camping trip.

@@bobwebb71048 It's odd that no matter what the year there seem to be few Honda Odysseys that are converted into campers compared to Toyota Siennas for example. I have a neighbor across the street that has a Sienna that is the same color as my Odyssey and they look very much alike.

Here's the metal frame material at Home Depot: Everbilt 1-1/2 in. x 96 in. Zinc-Plated Slotted Angle-800117 - www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-1-1-2-in-x-96-in-Zinc-Plated-Slotted-Angle-800117/204325588

The metal for the frame was purchased at Home depot. I originally bought it to make shelves but never made them. I've have the metal for 5 or 6 years so I dont remember the cost.

We spent the first 2 days in Copenhagen before the cruise. We did research on the internet for sites to see. We use public transportation (train and subway) to get around. Once on the cruise we used cruises tours or Hop On Hop Off buses for most ports. In Russia we had 2 days so we used a private tour company (TJ Travel - www.st.petersburg-tours.ru). We had 5 other couple with us to keep the cost down. At Tallinn we took a taxi from the ship to Tallinn and when we were done we walked back to the ship.

We use Norwegian Cruise line and we please with the ship and interact. Having 2 days in St. Petersburg let us see all the sites. Peterhoff palace, the Hermitage, Faberge museum and Catherine's. palace. We even ride the subway which was amazing

I don't remember where I purchased the awning suction cups. I bought them from the internet.

the fold down seats come out very easily. Frees up lots of room to add storage.

Using milk crates would make under bed storage a pain in the butt.

Check out my updated video at czcams.com/video/_1FOHISfkfo/video.html. It shows frame I made with pvc pipes to hold the folded out bed. The pipes can be assembled and taken apart easily and stored away under the bench

Agree simple but great , also have same question

I have posted a newer video that shows a frame I made out of pvc pipe. The frame can be put together and taken apart easily and stored away taking up very little room.
