Have not been on edge yet but we are sailing on march 22 and we had to buy 4 night because 3 night was sold out so just a thought they do sell out 

Does edge offer discounts also afraid won't be able to get any deals on board this ship as I heard the specialties are hard to get into on the edge

Thank you so much will do

Thank you we bought the 4 night today

Does anyone know if you can purchase dining packages on board. We will sailing on the Edge March 22 when I go to the cruise planner it will only let me do 4 night or more packages so dont know if I should wait till on board or book the 4 night package. Thanks in advance John

Thank you very much for the reply. It’s good to know that Cozumel night menu is less interesting. We might book a specialty restaurant for that night.

 

Just to make sure I understand correctly (my English is not 100 % 😊)… our itinerary is:

1^st night: FLL

2^nd night: HMC

3^rd night: At sea

4^th night: Ocho Rios

5^th night: Grand Cayman

6^th night: Cozumel

7^th night: At sea

Did you do the same itinerary? If so, the first formal night was on HMC day or at sea day ?

Thank you again !

3rd and 5th for formal

1.  Did you notice any 1st night specialty restaurant discounts?

2.  Do you have the when/where?  If not, what time were the evening shows @ the main theater?

3.  What shore excursions did you do?

  

1 no discounts on any specialty any night on this ship they do offer specials for 2 night for 33 for the italian and asian but we did not do any this year 

2shows 8 and 10 Humanity was amazing stages was ok but everyone has there own opinons the 2 production shows have no singers they are dance shows the singer are in the alternate 3 rooms bb kings rolling stong and billboard and those were awesome the production shows will change every 4 months also test kitchen was on both sea days at 1pm very informative if you like cooking shows 

3 wedid not do any boat excursions

4 did not like new layout of the daily planner very hard to follow

We are used to the venue on another cruise line that has a pretty extensive offering of specialty coffee drinks.

I liked having that fancy Vanilla Latte every morning.

Can you all tell me what HAL has to offer, and where one would go for these specialty coffees?

Thanks!!!

Best spot is the explorations cafe but they do not open till 8 am they are located on deck 12 also on deck 3 is the dutch cafe but they do not have as extensive menu for coffee if you are used to celebrity they have a better coffee program but this ship was fantastic in every other way from the showers in room to food including lobster at the buffet and great entertainment we had a fantastic time and booked again

Hi - could you clarify (for my pea brain)?

Was the first formal night on the same day as Half Moon Cay, or the at-sea day?

Was the second formal night after Cayman or Cozumel?

I'm hoping that the NS Western itineraries are the same so I can plan.

Thank you!

They did half moon cay first day also worst day for dining room imo was cozumel worst meal of week

Hi ! Nice to know you enjoyed your cruise on the NS. We will do the western itinary as well in April. Can you tell me on what night were  the formal nights ? We want to book speciality restaurants but do not want to miss any formal nights ! Thank you ! 

They did formal on 2 and 4th nights also what i thought was amazing they had lobster and filet at the buffet i never had that on any other line before the food at the buffet was actually some of the best buffet food i ever had on a ship also the sweet pretzel at the pizza place was amazing the carmel almond crunch but only avail in the evenings

Did you go to Ocho Rios?  If you did, where did you dock?  Thanks for your help.

We went to montego bay people that tried to do falls thru ship tours got some money back as they did not have enough time at falls and only did a small portion 

 Just off what a great trip food was fabulous booked another on this ship for next year yes there were some hiccups but overall a fantastic cruise any questions i would be happy to answer ps one thing our last stop was cozumel they never told us to wait to buy jewelry till mexico which they should have cause you get 8.9 % back from the mexican goverment sadly we bought in the cayman islands 

I called today they told me they are no longer offering it hope they were wrong maybe someone knows if it is still being offered on the ship John

Sorry if this has been asked but this will be our first time on hal does anyone know if they offer a dicount for the specialty restaurants on the first night if what is the discount thank you
