Oh, and the rocking chairs in some of the suites were amazing! They are so nice and I can see myself snuggling up on one of those to read my book by the veranda. 🙂

Ah, so that round thing was a footstool not a little table. Well, there's a solution (for one person in the room at least) for a footstool for the balcony. Again, I'm still disappointed in the lack of even a small coffee table in the room. Ordering room service for us seems unlikely for our first Edge cruise.
It can be used as a footstool, or just a little stool to sit on. I used it to sit when I Facetimed my kids with my husband and to store dirty clothes inside of it. The top is actually cushioned.

Is there a shallow or small drawer near the pull out table. ? Some said there was no drawer nearby just a dummy feature ..Where is the hair dryer stored,?
.Generally hair brushes, dryers and such are stowed in a drawer near the outlet and a mirror. I assume the pullout table is in place of a vanity in reg cabins.or I guess for a laptop ?
Prefer S and M class with full desk/ vanity...with drawers, plugs etc For a week , I'm sure we'll manage but why it was set up this way is a puzzle...like a bad dorm room .
If you look at VTCruisings pictures above of the pull out table, the white dresser is actually a refrigerator. The dresser next to that is all drawers that are sectioned off into two sections inside (I used it for his & hers stuff). If you notice the white box sitting on top of the fridge, that stores outlets to plug in things like your cell phones (it has USB plugs) and can be used for a hair dryer. The hairdryer in the two rooms I was in was stored in two different places, so it may not be in the same place in the room you book. In one, it was in the pull out drawer in the bathroom, in the other is was in a closet shelf, but it's stored in a bag and you can use it wherever you're most comfortable. The bathroom has a plug by the sink as well, so if you're more comfortable doing your hair in the bathroom, you have that option.

I did see one in a stateroom today that had some sort of hinge and someone said it was a sofa bed. I took about 300 pix today - I’ll look back through. 😀
Was it like the one in the Celebrity Suite? That looks like it had a convertible sofa, like the kind IKEA has where the sleeper part is stored under the sofa and it just rolls out and pulls up.

From Concierge class and up, the products are from Bigalow & Co and are amazing! I started in a concierge class suite and was moved down to a regular infinite veranda that just had proprietary Celebrity products and even though they were good, the Bigalow products were just amazing!
They do have the proprietary shampoos in a metal, non-removable bar, so you can’t take the products with you, I’m guessing to lower the costs.
The Bigelow products aren't "tied to the wall" and are a really nice, big size, so you can take them with you.

Solves the issue that reg staterooms have...no drawer near the little pull out desk/ makeup table
Under the sink, in the Concierge and Infinite Veranda cabins, there is also a pull-out drawer for things like your make-up, contacts, etc. I didn't notice if the suites had this, and I'm going to assume that the single and interior had this since they are similar rooms.

HI Luckylissette, thanks for the beautiful video... when you are doing the video of the missing cabins would it be possible to get to see the single cabins a bit better? the take was very fast and hard to see really anything.
thanks for your consideration,
Rose
Sure! I’ll do my best.

Great video!!
I noticed that in some of the rooms that the toiletries were in larger bottles in the shower, not the smaller size you normally see on some ships or in some hotels. Is that the case? I'm not necessarily opposed to that since it saves on waste, as long as the product is good.

Something I loved was that the footstool has a removable top so it acts as storage. I used it for dirty clothes since I never know what to do with them. 😂
also, the desk can slide into the dresser, so when you don’t need it you can slide it in and have a full sized mirror.

Good for you and very well deserved. From your video looks like you had a great time and didn't want to get off the ship.
I didn't. It was such a nice ship and was perfect as an escape for my husband and me. I don't think I would do this ship with my kids because they're young and would probably get easily bored (that's what Royal's for), but as an adult getaway cruise, it's perfect!

so it is between the rails that raise & lower the Magic Carpet?
This particular stateroom is, but I really didn't see it as an issue because the Magic Carpet only moves about 2-3 times per day.
Also, because it's between the Magic Carpet rails, it allows for more space for a longer room and more balcony space, but everyone has their own preferences. 🙂

Luckylissette - Thanks for confirming what I thought it was, a S3. Also thanks for sharing your video and experience on Edge with us here on CC.
It's not a problem! That's my perk for being married to a Royal employee that works on new builds and leaves me alone with our kids for months at a time; I get to be one of the first on the new ships. 😂

Per cabana or half cabana, not per person.
It's per cabana. I didn't see anything on the paperwork I saw about half cabanas, but I saw that they were $400 per day per cabana. I guess if you're going to reserve an Infinite veranda suite, getting a cabana as opposed to access into The Retreat would be a cheaper option.

Thanks for the video.
Did a staff member say the pathway would be roped off, or did you see the rope?
A member told me.

That’s my video. It’s an S3 Sky Suite, mid-ship. I don’t remember exact room, but looking at the deck plan I think it was 11168.

I just got off the ship and this was not the case. I was on for its employee shakedown cruis3 thatbgot in Friday and there was a towel on every lounge chair in the public areas, Solarium, and in The Retreat areas. You did not have to show your sea pass card to get a towel.
This may be bcause it was a special sailing, but I didn’t see any indication otherwise and did not see an area like on Royal to get your towels showing your seapass.

That’s from my video. The area will be roped off for non-cabana guests. It’s is sectionedniff and numbered, so even though one section has sofas back to back, they are still in the same cabana. Here’s the link to the video I uploaded. https://youtu.be/IsB5qe2yYiY Let me know if you have any more questions.
St. Thomas/San Juan excursions suitable for 2 and 4 year old
in Family Cruises
Posted
I did San Juan with my 4 year old and 1 year old and it was very doable. Everything is within walking distance. We didn’t do the beach but we walked over to the San Cristobal fort and walked all over it. It was fine with an umbrella stroller. I wouldn’t do it with anything bigger than that. We were able to navigate the streets just fine.
As for St Thomas, I haven done that port with kids yet, butihave done was t as art of the ships excursion and taking a taxi. Megan’s Bay is amazing and the kids should love it. I haven’t seen car seats on the beach so that tells me that either the taxis have them or they look the other way. I would definitely do as Dulciana suggests and search on the boards.
