On the Edge class ships, can you order off the MDR menu in Blu?

As everyone has stated, the Elite Cocktail Hour is meaningless when you have a package. Enjoy the package and drink when and where you’d like. 

We enjoy the ECH in the sky lounge. We sit at the bar and order from our PDP without a problem. I like the appetizers. We would go to the ECH over going to MC or Retreat. I did not like the ECH on the Edge for it was in the Club with no windows. 

I sent the required information to shareholderbenefit@rccl.com last weekend and got an email saying X received my email. Only took 2 or 3 days and my OBC showed up online.

If this program ever comes back- what would be the point of the upcharge in the MDR?  Just book a Specialty Restaurant instead.

I need more research on the steaks. If I'm having a steak on a X ship. Which restaurant has the best quality steak. Specialty restaurant, Luminae or MDR with upcharge.

I have been able to order off the MDR menu while dining in Luminae on both the M Class and S Class ships last year. I have not tried to order off the Blu menu.  

Last Nov we did Solstice out of LA with a day in Ensenada. I showed my seapass card and US driver license to get back on the ship. Depending on the country I'm visiting. I might bring a photo copy of my passport with me while in town.

Ahh.  Didn’t know that.  On my sailing they are about an additional $500 pp.

 

Edit:  Nope.  Still not available.

From my research Aquasky suite on M Class ships about more $500 pp and S Class ships about $1000 more pp.

That cabin probably got snapped up quickly.  I see it’s not available.

Remember 6132 is now an AS ( AquaSky Suite) with large balcony.

The last I knew you must call the CC number to get the discount before your cruise.

This has all been so helpful. I

lobe blown glass. I have been

to demos in Venice that were amazing. But I have so much glass I really only want to do it if I can make my own. And the choices they give are not that interesting to me. Do they also sell other pieces made by the experts? 

Yes, if you ask. They have blown pieces. Normally on top of the Glass Annealing Oven. I've bought one. 

I've made 6 pieces. Great fun. I'll be doing 2 more this Sept. Check out the thread below.

We have only sailed on Edge once. That sailing we were in a sky suite. My dislikes are. Luminae has limited food choices and noisy. Edge Retreat does not have a real bar. Retreat sundeck had limited shade. Retreat sundeck bar seating area. Not a nice area for lunch on port day when it rains as you get wet. Yes we got wet. Luminae not open on port days for lunch.

Friends booked Apex for Iceland. We decided to join them and give E Class suites another try. Apex does have a bar in the Retreat Lounge.

I would talk to X or your TA. See photo with sky suite adjoining balcony or inside cabin. My understanding is that these cabins are what you need. Booking together and paying an extra charge for access to the Retreat and Luminae. 

If I remember correctly. The angle balconies aft of the elevators. The more aft the bigger the balcony.  You need to think about if you want the bed by the balcony or near the closet. One of my favorite angle balcony are cabins 2105, 2107 or 2109. Right out to the pool and up one level for drinks and snacks.

Do you have E-Doc's. Luggage tags seem to be on the 2nd to the last page.

Retreat sun deck bar is always open for lunch even on port days. Can order shrimp cocktail, the famed Luminae burger, a chicken sandwich and one or two other items from their food menu.

 

I'm also a fan of the Luminae burger too. I usually cut the huge buns in half in an effort to reduce carbs. Also always ask for mayo on the side as it pairs perfectly with the truffle fries.

I had the Luminae burger in Luminae. No top bun for me also. We also had lunch on a port day on the Edge. I ordered 2 shrimp and 2 chicken Caesar wraps. Portions on the small side back in 2019. Had lunch last year on a port day in Alaska at the Retreat sun deck on Millie.

I’m ok with this if there is a surf machine. The young people call it flow rider.  They could remove the Retreat Sundeck to make space for it.

I want both. Thanks for calling me young.

By the way, what kind of key are they using?

3 or 4 side 

They use an L shaped Allen Wrench 6 sided.

I looked at car services and taking the bus. There were four of us. Our one way 24 hour Hertz car rental was $563.10. With in that price was $250 for one way drop off.

Interesting about the raw wood railings because we saw this on our recent sailing on the Solstice.  Several of the balconies below us had that when we boarded. However, at our first port, walking back to the ship, we saw workers on the balconies.  Sure enough, they had re-varnished the railings (or whatever one does to the railing to make it look nice again😊). 

I wood like the unvarnished railings over gray metal railings. Nice to see X is re-varnishing verses replacing with metal railings
