Monday night I developed a pain in my abdomen…Tuesday it got worse…when it hadn’t gotten better Wednesday morning I called my PA’s office…no available appointments this week…but they have a walk-in clinic…no appointments necessary. So off I went there. I was really impressed!! Very nice people…I was seen in about 29 minutes…provider wanted a CT scan done…walked next door to their lab and in ten minutes I was having the scan. The staff were all so very nice!! I grew up with my father being the Director of The Emory Clinic, VP of the Woodruff Health Sciences Center and head of the cardio thoracic department…all surgeons who thought they were gods…. To meet medical professionals who treat you like a friend was so nice especially when you’re scared and in pain. I got the lab results by the time I got home. Of course I had no idea what it meant…🤭 But then a text that an antibiotic had been sent to my pharmacy. So now I’m on the mend and it’s great to know a walk-in no appointment needed option is available! The girls have been taking turns being furry heating pads. Their warmth and purring is very soothing!!

When I had Mohs surgery on the side of my nose I was horrified that the tiny spot required the crater he dug out of my face and the huge unwieldy bandage on my nose. Couldn’t wear glasses. I felt the dermatologist should have prepared me for what the incision might look like so I wouldn’t have been so shocked. But it healed well…and DH had an idea what his might look like when the sun finally caught up with him…

I’ve sailed Edge three times, Apex and Beyond once…all in an infinite veranda cabin…not a suite. Honestly, if you didn’t know The Retreat existed you’d never know. True the suites have the only forward facing area…and I thought I’d miss the Sky Lounge of the S Class…but Eden is a spectacular venue! And the 4 MDR concept with the extra menu options is amazing! Edge Class ships are stunningly beautiful; you definitely do not have to be in a suite to enjoy them.

Noises in cabin on Celebrity Ascent and Beyond
helen haywood replied to dacf's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Was this an aft or forward cabin? I have a sunset veranda booked on Beyond soon…hoping for the best. Have a porthole cabin booked on Ascent but not until 2026…refundable deposit…if these reports continue I’ll cancel that cruise and stick to only M and S Classes on Celebrity. Sigh. -

Noises in cabin on Celebrity Ascent and Beyond
helen haywood replied to dacf's topic in Celebrity Cruises
As the Edge and Apex are slightly smaller than Beyond and Ascent…I’m assuming something in the design change adding more cabins is at fault for producing the noises. -
Beyond- still beyond creaking and clicking
helen haywood replied to Dylan0474mac's topic in Celebrity Cruises
As to why people continue to book Beyond, I don’t know how many people who either reported here or experienced noises but are unaware of Cruise Critic (🙀) are actually giving Beyond another try. I know I mentioned in my post +301 that I’m only giving Beyond another chance because I’m booking an aft Sunset Veranda. So many people here have read the comments but not experienced the noises first hand and poo poo the complaints as “all ships make noises while sailing.” If I experience the same banging hammer and bowling ball noises I had in an IV in the Sunset Veranda, you can absolutely believe I will not sail Beyond again! -

The CD did not give Captain Kate the question re noise. Surprise.
