😅 Reviving this thread as we're in desperate need for some insight. Need advice from cruisers who have stayed above the theatre on Deck 6. Were there rehearsals carried out on any of the Edge-class ships before 9am and after 10pm? Our cabin is right above the edge of the theatre. Trying to manage my expectations by researching as much as possible about the noise level of these rooms. We haven't been able to find out much on CC or the other cruise sites. Now I'm hoping that past cruisers can offer their valuable feedback. Thanks!

Here are a couple pics while I'm here in Key West (I don't have shipboard wifi). You can call the view obstructed but IMO I can see PLENTY of ocean/scenery.... I'll review more and add more pics post cruise.

Hi balisong187, 

We are dying to hear about your experience on an Edge-class ship and your insights into stateroom 6127. Any chance you're back from your cruise yet? If not, sorry to disturb. Enjoy your holidays! 🤭

I believe you both need to be on the same package(s) in order to prevent you both from sharing each one. 

I guessed as much. Oh well. Thanks for the info though!

You have to have 3 days left in your cruise to purchase a beverage package 

Oh darn. Three days may be a bit much for a trial run. I can see myself being rolled off the ship after a free flow of lattes, smoothies, pina colada and margaritas! 😝

We got charged a corkage fee and we did not even bring wine into the dining room!  Obviously someone else’s charge so the real party may not even have been charged!!!

Oh dear! How much was the corkage? Hope you managed to get it refunded.

And you both have to sign up for it.

I see. Does it have to be the same package for both? Or could I opt for the non-alcoholic and my other half, the classic or premium? 

Thanks, everyone, for the valuable information! Just out of curiosity, is it common to see passengers walking around with a glass of wine in their hands? 

😅 We plan to bring onboard two bottles of wine that were given to us as presents. Being lightweights, a drink package would be wasted on us. A glass of wine with our dinner is more our speed. Here's the question though. I understand that we can be expected to pay corkage when we first open a bottle of our own wine in the dining room but what happens If we don't finish the bottle in one sitting? Would we be charged a second corkage fee for having it again the next day in the dining room? 

On a related note, are we able to sign up for a non-alcoholic, classic or premium drink package towards the end of our cruise if let's say, we just wanted to try it out for a day? Would we both have to sign up for the same package?

Any insights or advice would be much appreciated.

The cabins on this deck have the lifeboats directly underneath so that’s why they say obstructed view.  I stayed in a similar cabin more towards the middle of the ship.  If you are looking straight out you don’t notice any obstruction. You can see the lifeboats when you are standing close to the window. I didn’t mind it at all and would stay in one of these cabins again.

Thank you so much for the confirmation and reassurance. I'll be one happy camper as long as the rehearsals or noisy activities in the theatre are carried out at godly hours.

Appreciate you taking the time to post photos of cabin 6127. I had a feeling that there might be something right underneath the window and indeed there is! Oh well, I can live with it. Rather have this then the continuous creaking sound a Beyond passenger recently had to contend with in their cabin. Poor thing. 

Anyway, enjoy the rest of your cruise!  Here's hoping that the rehearsals aren't being carried out in the theatre at ungodly hours and disturbing your rest in 6127. 

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on 6127, Balisong187. And the rest of the ship - the food, the service, the activities, the entertainment, basically anything and everything!

Although I'm sure there are ships that surpass her in design these days, back then, I thought the Solstice was the most stunning ship on the seas. I still remember the awe-inspiring MDR. I think I will miss the grandeur of one on the Edge. 

Enjoy your cruise!!!

Thanks for the great link, TMLAalum! It appears that stateroom 6127 wasn't included in the list, so here's hoping that it wasn't an oversight.

As was scouring the web the past few weeks, I came across another (albeit less official) website with photos of rooms with obstructed view. Thought I might as well share it here too.

https://www.cruisedeckplans.com/ships/ov.php?ship=Celebrity-Edge&cabins=Edge

The strange thing is that although they did include a photo of room 6127, I can't seem to detect any obstruction in it. Perhaps, the default camera angle wasn't able to capture it within the frame.

Oh, wow! How wonderful is this. Would be so grateful to have your feedback on the room or anything about the ship, for that matter! Nothing is too mundane. First-time Edge-class cruisers here! We'll be on the 9N Australian Wine Cruise on the Celebrity Edge for our long-overdue honeymoon. We absolutely adored our Solstice Alaskan and Western Mediterranean cruises pre-Covid. This will be our first cruise post-pandemic. Thanks so much in advance.  

🙏🙏 We have been scouring the entire web, other cruise sites and of course, Cruise Critic, but haven't had much luck finding any reviews on this stateroom. Unfortunately, we do not have many to choose from so would appreciate any advice from experienced Edge-class cruisers.

Based on the deck plans of the Edge -class ships, it seems like this room is located at the edge (no pun intended) of the main theatre, which is one level below the room. We are perfectly fine with noise from the regular nightly performances during the usual hours but understand that rehearsals are also carried out during the rest of the day. Are rehearsals or any other activities that might be considered noisy, scheduled before 9am or after 11pm (i.e. the ungodly hours)? Any advice would be much appreciated. 
 

Hi, hi!

Appreciate all the reviews and comments from CC members so far regarding cabins on Ovation, Quantum and Anthem (and I've read quite a few :D) but I still haven't been able to find information on the cabins above. I'm a light sleeper and hopefully that explains the reason for my slight OCD on cabin location.

So far, reviews of similar cabins to 9508 (a large ocean view cabin at the bow of the ship) suggest that there might be an issue with noise but they were on either the Quantum or Anthem (something about a crew common area on deck 7 where employees party and create quite a din late at night on a cruise to the Caribbean and noise generated by waves crashing against the bow). This has led me to consider 12585 (a large inside cabin) but it's located next to a blank space on the deck plans and another huge blank space right above it on deck 13. Sadly, these are the only two rooms left on the ship within my budget.

Any experience on these rooms or even similar rooms would be most welcomed!
