Smokers don’t realize how they reek from their smoke. It is really bad when you have a seat in the theater or lounge and a smoker sits next or around you. It is also a problem on a confined bus tour. That is why we no longer take tours. On the Edge class the smoking areas are usually: Port side areas are deck 4 rear outside of Eden, Sunset bar, and rear of pool area. Starboard is the Mast Bar. My wife will get migraines and I can feel your pain seeing what she goes thru. I don’t get migraines but I break out in hives from the smell of cigarette smoke. Hope this helps Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

You don’t need to attend the beyond the podium unless there is nothing else to do. It is always shown on the in room TV and runs continuously. Do some channel surfing and you will find it. It may be on the CD channel. I think that is why the presentation may not be well attended. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I don’t know what kind of zoo the comedian is referring to as all the zoos that I have been to are organized and under control with the animals confined in pens, or cages. 🤷‍♂️ It appears to be more of a jungle where the animals are running wild. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

The difference would be if the bed is by the balcony or lavatory. Also if the head of the bed is towards the front of the ship or the rear. The later may affect those with motion issues that have a problem with the way they are moving when laying down. The cabin may have an obstructed view, be too far from the stairs or elevators, be near a public area, or have one above or below. Other differences would be the deck level and location that affect the movement in the cabin. The cabin may also be close to a smoking area. Depending on your preference. Some cabins in the same category also have larger balconies. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

In St Maarten you should try walking to town instead of taking the water taxi. It is a 1/2 mile walk. Along the way you can see mountain goats in the cliff on the opposite side of the road. Crabs and etc in the draining ditch along the walkway. There are a few beverage stands, and also people with coolers selling beer, and other drinks for a few dollars to drink along the way. There is also a cheese store that provides samples. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

There is also monitor as you enter the buffet that shows what the daily themes will be for the entire cruise. It may take a few minutes of watching to get to the screen that shows it. I would suggest having your phone ready to take a photo when it pops up. I think it is near the port side entrance Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

When in a suite I have a hard time not dining in Luminae on sea days. Eden is nice for their chocolate cookies and brownies. It is a hard choice between Luminae and Eden Cafe on sea days. We will have lunch in Luminae and then go to Eden Cafe and stock up on their brownies and Cookies. Their cookies are different than those served at Cafe al Bacio and the buffet. Have a little and keep the rest of for later on. Chocolate and bourbon makes a nice combo. I suggest to try the Chocolate Pill for desert in Luminae if you love chocolate. It is on the Daniel Buolard (sp) option at the bottom of the main dinner menu every night in Luminae. It is easy to miss when the desert menu is delivered because it isn’t on it. So you have to remember to order it. Or just take a photo of the main menu and look it when ordering a desert. Tip also order a scoop of gelato or ice cream to go with it. Honestly I can’t tell the difference so I get the flavor that I want and is available. I think gelato has less cream so it doesn’t have as many calories. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

You need to try all of the bars. What I could tell you today will change tomorrow. I like old fashions. It doesn’t take me long to find the bar and BT that makes it the correct way (the way that I like it). Same bar different BT and the drink is different. I will tell them how I like it and they still can’t get it right. The BTs in the retreat lounge will normally make the drinks the way you like. I usually start out with asking for an Old Fashion to give it a try. You never know, I may like it better than the way that i usually drink them. You have a drink pack. Try as many drinks as you think you may like. EX at the Martini Bar I order a drink. Don’t like it then looking at the menu based on that drink I can eliminate many others as they are just a variation. I don’t like real sweet foo foo drinks so I usually avoid those frozen drinks at the pool. I may occasionally give one a try but end up leaving it. You need to find the bar, and BT on your own On our last cruise on the Constellation in a suite we spent most of our bar time in the Retreat Lounge, and Cellar Masters. Never sat at the Martini bar, Rendezvous, or any outside bars. We found the bar and BTs that we liked. Prior to that cruise we were also in a suite and spent most of our bar time in the Retreat lounge, Craft Social, Eden, and Martini Bar. The time before on the Beyond we spent a lot of time at the World Class bar. The BTs changed and so did some of their drinks, especially paying extra for a drink that use to be included in the premium pack. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

I found the duck on Celebrity to be rather chewy. 😱 Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Having the same problem this morning. Gave up. Don’t really need to sign in for what I wanted to see. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Never noticed it. I had to go to the website to see what this thread was referring to. Sometimes when there is too much it is like you can’t see the forest for the trees. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

It use to be the prepaid gratuities, $400 pp SBC, premium bev pack, premium wifi. and butler. On our last cruise in a SS we didn’t have a dedicated butler but have heard that they are rolling out the service again starting on the Edge Class ships. May take some time to staffing the whole fleet. New bookings don’t include the gratuities or any SBC. Everything is nice but the way the prices are I doubt we will be booking anymore in a suite. Can’t justify the extra cost. I know people will say once you try a suite you will never go back. Not true. We have done it a few times and not missed it. We booked our next 3 cruises in AQ and won’t do a move up bid. Enjoy it while you can and don’t chase after what others do. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Do you think? I am sure that they regret commissioning her. Too bad they let her ruin the other ships during their upgrading before waking up. I do have to congratulate Kelly for giving them a bigger con job than P. T. Barnum, and snow job than Colonel Parker. Shame on those that approved the final designs. They should all be canned. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

The big winner is not designed by Kelly Hoppen. I wonder why they made that comment????🙄 Adding 12 more cabins with a capacity of 4 people will also add 12 to 48 more passengers in Luminae with the normal being 24. The area isn’t that large and If they add more tables it will be very congested Happy to see that they are going to have a walk in shower instead of those dangerous bath tubs. Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

If you booked thru a big box warehouse your cruise won’t be eligible. I think there is also a clause that pertains to group rates not being eligible. 🤷‍♂️ Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅
