Btj301 Posted September 12, 2017 #326 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Lloyd555, Were the Celebrity S class ships built in large sections like this? Lloyd555, thanks for another awesome photo. All ships are built in mega blocks like this since the 1970s Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tall-Cruiser Posted September 12, 2017 #328 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) Lloyd - Very very cool and nice close-up shots of the Balcony/Window. Many thanks for sharing. LLoyd - Would those Edge balcony Cabins be decks, 6, 7,8 and 9? The photo with the oval openings looks to be deck 5.

SantaFeFan Posted September 13, 2017 #331 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) Edge build and windows. Looks like an office building, not a cruise ship. Not very appealing. I am having a hard time getting excited about this class. I am a huge fan of the Solstice class, but this design so far has been underwhelming. Seems all gimmicks and razzle dazzle with too little substance. And what is with this mysterious need to be so secretive with so little shown in the reveals so far? It's almost like they are trying to keep people in the dark so as to not create bad press. Reminds me how some really bad movies aren't previewed before being release because the are such dogs that the studios don't want bad press killing them before their first showings. I am enjoying the photos of the construction process, however. Being mechanically inclined, I am a rapt observer of how things go together, especially big machines.

twodjs Posted September 13, 2017 #332 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Thank you, Lloyd. Really enjoy seeing such quick progress! I love what has been revealed so far. We're booked in Aqua Class in March, 2019. It's not for everyone - I get that - but the design esthetic pleases me. Great posts with the photos.

I think we have to wait until the shell is ready Then we see the ship in full shape. I think it will be a beautiful ship. Of course not everyone will like it. You have to try something new to stand out. And they are mysterious because when they say it all at once it does not stay exciting any more. That's why I think they always reveal little and then talk about it then give again what and so on. I like the EDGE class because it's different. And for me the area inside is more important. Okay the rooftop garden and the pool deck are also important. But these two are great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare hcat Posted September 14, 2017 #339 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Great photos...thanks Lloyd Still confused about the smaller looking windows..hope they are not the Infinite balcony windows???????? We have AQ booked with Infinite balc ...hope we won't feel too closed in...If we ever book another cruise on EDGE, we would most likely take a reg balcony....AQ prices now are sky high!

Of course they are the Infinite Balconies. They aren't small, they just appear that way due to the size of the ship. They are about the same size as a normal balcony opening.

DachshundsRule Posted September 15, 2017 #343 Share Posted September 15, 2017 This is going to be an incredible ship for cooler itineraries - imagine an Alaska tour with the infinite balconies. Or a transatlantic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getty123 Posted September 16, 2017 #345 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I am sure that they will one of edges class after the 2nd ship is built. But they start with the reliable Caribbean.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they start with the reliable Caribbean.:D I'm hoping that Beyond will do a West bound TA when it joins the fleet in Spring 2020. But I suspect it will stay in Europe (Northern or Med) for the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biker19 Posted September 17, 2017 #347 Share Posted September 17, 2017 agreed, so why aren't they selling it's first TA? To ensure they don't repeat the issues Quantum had. Brand new class of ship right out of the yard is bound to have issues- don't want to expose paying customers to that.

You must be ready. On the Quantum TA there lots of workers on the ship still finishing things. You are not going to find out customer related issues on a sea trial. Even the maiden from PE is bound to have issues. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand new class of ship right out of the yard is bound to have issues- don't want to expose paying customers to that. I don´t think the Quantum is what they have in mind. Although, yes, the Quantum was not really finished by the time she came out (and I was on the pre inaugural prior to the TA). But I remember quite a disaster happening last year with a ship from the same shipyard the Edge is built right now. They added two weeks of short cruises prior to the so called maiden cruise... that ship goes by the name of Harmony of the Seas ;)! After several media reports especially in GB and videos from passengers they had to pay a lot (mainly in future cruise credits) to get out of it. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
