twodjs Posted January 1, 2018 #780 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Hi ChazR - your cabin, 7249 is on the port side. The Magic Carpet is on the starboard side. You can relax! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MVPinBoynton Posted January 1, 2018 #781 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Forgive me but I am a little confused here....if you booked on the port side and then switched to the starboard for a better view of the MC isn't the MC on the port side? We are in cabin 7249 and hope we are well away from the MC.. If you are so interested on the view of the MC should you not have switched or am I confused? Charles As others have already told you, you were confused; but glad my post gave you an opportunity to clear it up. I think we will both thoroughly enjoy the Edge next year. It will certainly help to make 2019 a happy new year for me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare C-Dragons Posted January 1, 2018 #783 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I am in 8236 is my cabin near the mc? And is infinite veranda? Sent from my iPad using Forums Yes, your cabin is an infinite verandah. It is located a short distance aft of the Magic Carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getty123 Posted January 1, 2018 #784 Share Posted January 1, 2018 You are booked in a Sky Suite. Your cabin has a balcony, so no, you will not have an Infinite verandah. Thanks I am confused, so what the differents. I seen to have a big door that opens up with a window at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare C-Dragons Posted January 1, 2018 #785 Share Posted January 1, 2018 ThanksI am confused, so what the differents. I seen to have a big door that opens up with a window at the end. What you are describing is an infinite verandah cabin. It does not have a traditional verandah. By opening the doors and window that you refer too, a verandah is “created”. When all are closed, there is a larger cabin space. This is part of the description of a Sky Suite from the X website: “These large suites feature a king-sized bed with views to the floor-to-ceiling window and sliding glass door. From the sitting area, featuring a signature Kelly Hoppen wooden rocker, step out onto a private veranda.” You are booked in a Sky Suite which has a sliding glass door and a traditional open air verandah.

Getty123 Posted January 1, 2018 #788 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Thanks again, now I understand, the infinite verandas are smaller them the S1, on the s1 can you open the window at the edge, I guess yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise47 Posted January 2, 2018 #790 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Lloyd555, thanks for sharing the aerial photos by Benoit Marembert from November 2017 they are all great. But The Edge construction is farther along than these photos shows. Those photos also shows how large,that new the Royal Caribbean ship is too The Edge.

The Edge is definitely further along, but it's always nice to see aerial photos (of the ship progress). Will be posting similar photos taken on Saturday when they become available. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarwood3 Posted January 2, 2018 #792 Share Posted January 2, 2018 So just got a letter from Travel Agent from Celebrity. The ship is further along than they anticipated, so the inaugural will be pushed up one week. Anyone booked on the inaugural, can switch to the new itinerary a week earlier, same price, same cabin etc. New stops are Key West, Cozumel, Costa Maya and Grand Cayman. In addition, there will be 4 preview cruises that are 3 day round trips from FT Lauderdale to the Bahamas prior to the inaugural. I’m really shocked.

dgraham Posted January 3, 2018 #793 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Small question. Where do the helicopters land? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare steamboats Posted January 3, 2018 #794 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Small question. Where do the helicopters land? Almost none of the newer ships do have a helipad a helicopter can actually land on. It´s just an area where they can winch people up. But even in a case of emergency it´s up to the pilot of the helicopter and the ship´s captain what area they do use for winching. In many cases it´s the upper pool deck. Modern recue helicopters are way to heavy to land on a cruise ship. steamboats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forward bow area, where many helipads are located, just happens to be the part of the ship that moves the most, typically an up and down movement as the bow lifts up over waves. Not the best place at all. Much safer to lower a basket and lift the person up. And even that is risky and is only done as a last resort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd555 Posted January 3, 2018 Author #796 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) From French article ... https://www.ouest-france.fr/pays-de-la-loire/saint-nazaire-44600/double-mouvement-de-paquebots-le-19-janvier-5481372 Unless there is a last minute change, related to the weather for example, a mega port operation is scheduled to take place on Friday, January 19. On that day, the Symphony of the Seas (spring delivery) must leave its basin for three days of sea trials and therefore return the following Sunday. At the same time, the second most advanced liner, the Celebrity Edge (delivery end 2018) will leave its current form of construction for its first bath in the Loire. she will then come to position herself along the quay of Penhoët, passing through the form Joubert.

Getty123 Posted January 4, 2018 #799 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Yes, I hope we can see it as well. But, Celebrity has kept a lot of secrets, which I understand. We still don’t know much about the ship. Thanks jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QE2_Fan Posted January 4, 2018 #800 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Didn't realize how much smaller the Edge is compared to the Symphony of the Seas. the Edge is no small ship on her own right - it’s more like not realising how much larger Symphony of the Seas is compared to the Edge [emoji38] You sure do get a sense Of scale just how large the Oasis class ships are! Been a silent but avid watcher of this thread. Been Marvelous having the ability to see Edge grow from a keel plate into the final modern lady of the seas she will soon become! Thanks @Lloyd555 for the collating all the pictures, it’s been a fascinating journey and most appreciated!
