Thank you for highlighting the beauty of Belfast. Moving to a villa with a bit more storage was a great decision. VV Odessey is like an old house. Everything looks good on the surface, but as you start to renovate you find problems under the surface. It's much better to find and fix those issues now. Stay positive! Life's not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.
@@TheKiwiOdysseyit's a ship not an old house! It is going to sea- you don't want to be finding problems as you go! A ridiculous comparison. I'm sorry but you are too gullible for words. Tell me, how can they guarantee 15 years of no monthly fees rise? You don't think that is a little weird? A bit strange? Just a tad unrealistic? Nowhere in the world would any business guarantee rates for 15 years, especially when they are to cover costs like food, drink, fuel, port fees. Exactly how does this business cope with inevitable rising costs
@@GeoffreyW-l4p I was saying true to dancing in the rain. I have always made lemonade with my lemons, and I’m not you to stop now. With DNV being so scrupulous with their findings I’m sure all will be well when we are sailing. The prices will go up as soon as we start sailing. The prices have already gone up since we booked. Life is for the living and we are living it. There is nothing gullible about me I assure you.
Watching another utube couple on the Villa Via Odyssey and they had the extra pulldown beds removed from cabin to give them more wall space to hang things. Have a great sail away today🎉 Been a long time coming but looks like you enjoyed your stay in Belfast and will have lots of memories.
I can't believe people go out of their way to be so nasty. You're going to make your cabin cozy and you'll get to see the world. Enjoy and best wishes.
Thank you for sharing your cabin. I’m following everyone and hope to join all of you with the next year if our plans go well. Love the changes to your room. Do you plan to get rid of the pull down beds and perhaps move the tv to the opposite wall? Just curious. Love the location of the bed for a view of sunrises and sunsets. I have total confidence the Odyssey will sail soon.
Actually, watch this space. We have upgraded again. lol. But we actually moved there because we wanted the beds. There is only one thing we want more than the beds and as soon as we can move in we will let you know. 😻 Make sure you come and say hi when you are on the ship.
Absolutely we can, the people you are referring to, did a lot more than just question. There are some people in this world who hold onto everything and spew it out at everyone trying to gather recruits, and when they don’t get them they go off at everyone around them making those around them not like them either. It was not a nice situation to be in.
@@TheKiwiOdysseyUnderstand but a company has to have thick skin and allow customers to complain all they want. I’m sorry but it just seems to reek of desperation that the company must weed out naysayers. Sometimes the naysayers are needed to keep a company on its toes!
@@janiceandrandyp.2614 that’s just it, there are lots of people who do that and they listen to everyone. These situations are not as the media have portrayed them. Way more to the story. But that’s all I will say.
@@TheKiwiOdysseyIf there is more to the story then it needs to be explained. We are listening to her story on UA-cam and it sounds like she was mistreated with no warning whatsoever. If only one side of the story is told THAT is the side everyone will believe.
Wow! I have no idea why people need to be so nasty! They mist have really miserable lives to seek out UA-cam videos where they can spew their bile! The rest of us enjoy seeing video updates about your adventure! Thanks for sharing with us. I hope you set sail soon!
That is exactly right. Thank you. There is not a lot of point in responding to those people. But I’m happy to talk with those that are enjoying the journey with us. Lots of love and hugs to you. Kat😻
Seriously people, stop bashing these poor people. I admire their positivity! Hang in there, folks. It ain't over till it's over. Have faith, you still may sail away and then all these negative Nancy's will be eating crow! Praying that happens soon! ❤🙏🤞
Thank you. I can tell you, it is definitely not a scam, I believe the definition of that is someone trying to sell you something that doesn’t exist. This ship exists. It is beautiful. What it is, is a start up company and with that always comes risks. Risks we are willing to take. Your prayers for us and the ship are always welcome. Thank you.
@@TheKiwiOdyssey I don't believe it is a scam or at least it didn't start that way. However if the definition is someone selling something that doesn't exist then at the time the vast majority of people purchased, the company press releases said they were going to fully remodel the cabins to a luxury level and included Virtual Windows in inside cabins and there would be a culinary center where residents could cook and a golf simulator. Instead all that was done to the cabins was changing the carpet, new tv and new coffee maker and a deep clean. No culinary center and no golf simulator. So people were sold on critical features that don't exist.
@@RetiredZGrt seems you may have been involved, so then you will also know that everyone has been given the opportunity to leave and get a full refund if they are not happy with the current circumstances. We are fine and things will get sorted as we go along, we are happy with this and are in it for the long haul.
And don't parade your life trying to monetise it if you can't accept criticism! Thank god your life is not my life- living in a shoe box and trying to pretend it is grand is not my idea of freedom. Go for it, it's going to fail. Your CaeO has a number of business failures behind him, but I guess you know all about those.
I’m not trying to monetise it, this is purely for us and our family to remember all the stuff. I’m quite happy to listen to criticism, I’m just saying if you don’t like what you see you don’t have to watch. It’s that simple.
This is the best place for video. I can make it private but I know others want to see the journey. I don’t have a problem with the comments, that’s why I haven’t blocked anyone. I’m just saying, if you don’t like it, don’t watch it.
Oh you poor people. That cabin looks horrible! The carpet is awful. And you are going to live there? The bathroom is god awful - I know you are trying to be positive but trusting the people running this tub to actually give you what they have promised is madness. I'm sure you'll set sail but getting them to do all the upgrades they have promised? Good luck with that! Once they have your money that's it. Still, let the buyer beware.
I can’t believe people bought into that junk! Now they have to pay their own way because the CEO stole their money! Those cabins are horrible! Tiny and cramped! Probably smell bad too, from that hundred year old carpet!
I live in Belfast. Thank you for showing it in a positive light . Hope you get to sail away soon.

Thank you for the nice report. You will be well situated in your new cabin. Hopefully not much longer!
Can’t wait for you to set sail! What an exciting life and all the wonderful adventures you will have.
Thank you
That you for sharing the tours of your rooms as well as different areas on the ship, and of course Belfast. I wish the best for you on this adventure!
Thank you. I appreciate it. Kat😻
I think you'll make your cabin comfortable and cozy! Best wishes!
Thank you so much. Love Kat😻

We actually like the pullmans, but we are moving to a balcony as soon as it is free.
I can't believe people go out of their way to be so nasty. You're going to make your cabin cozy and you'll get to see the world. Enjoy and best wishes.
Thank you so much. I appreciate your views. Love Kat😻
It's interesting for a 30 year old ship the rooms don't appear they have ever been updated.
They have not been
Not long now! Just around the corner! Love this idea. Going on my first cruise Jan 2025.
Seems like more light in the 2nd room thanks to the window and more room. Nice. Crossing fingers yall sail soon
Travelling 'the Kiwi Way' - Love it.
Wishing you all, all the best! Im sure you will set sail soon!❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much😻

I thought New Zealanders were smarter then that, you actually bought a cabin on this doomed ship.
Delayed sailing again and stuck in Belfast . Hope you set sailsoon
Can you question VVR management without fear that they will cancel your contract?
No

Are you allowed to paint or wallpaper your walls?
Those that have purchased are allowed to renovate their cabin, but you need to use approved materials and contractor for fire safety reasons.
I think your room is nice - IGNORE these negative Nellie’s.
Nice in compared to what ? A shed
Thanks MaggieDe, I appreciate that. Love Kat😻
Nice!! What cabin number was your previous room? Enjoy!!!

@@TheKiwiOdyssey on the other hand, why would they leave? It's sailing in a week! Since May.
Sure sounds like a big scam
How are the inspections going? Going to shove off soon?
It’s a work in progress, I’m sure you will know when everything is signed off.
Deserted like the Marie Celeste. Where are the other hostages?
🤣
I pick my moments, not everyone is happy being on camera and I find it’s easier not to film them, than ask for permission.
Agree they have the cash and they are stuck
all looks hideous..the cabins, the food, the scam...

Similar to a jail cell
I wouldn’t know.
😊😊😊
@@TheKiwiOdyssey well you do now 😂
No thank you…looks like a 1 star motel….you are being taken for a ride….run …btw I have a room for sale on the titanic want to buy one
Omg this made me spit out my drink

Rude
One man's treasure is another man's trash. If you can't be kind, be quiet.
Oh yeah you are so right. That ship is disgusting can you imagine the smell from that gross carpet? Ugh!!!
There is no smell, and the bad carpets were replaced. It really is fine.
Sure not like original advertised pics

What a rambling boring reply
