The Magic Carpet looks cool!

I got the email too! As a Captains Club member. Someone said there is a cruise conference around the same time so hopefully news will follow through about the ship then. It's very unusual that there is hardly any info about these ships! I hope that there are some short inaugural cruises from Europe!

NO online bookings right now, only call in bookings - what a letdown. I am at work and can't sit on a call for 30 minutes to get through

[Jim_Iain]

Just called in and spoke to agent. Only booking December 2018 - April are available at this time. 7 day eastern and western Caribbean. You can only book by calling in.

 

I decided to wait.

It will be sailing alternating east and west Caribbean cruises out of Fort Lauderdale.

I'm at work until this evening and can't call in or watch Facebook. Does anybody know, did they state, when online booking starts?

You should be able to watch here.

 

They say one oclock for online.

When I spoke with agent he said was not aware when online bookings would open. They do have a page available with details of the ship

Thanks for the post.

Have mix feelings about ship decor.

Only 5 min wait to get to X rep. Wonder why they are not that busy.....:D

[Iamthesea]

Reminds me of the Oasis class which we tried only once. :rolleyes:

 

I'm not crazy about that big orange structure! Now we will not be able to sit in a lounger and look out at the sea from the upper deck? Where can one go to sun if they do not want to be in the thick of things? Hopefully they have a few places/other deck areas.

 

However, saying the above, I can remember when DH and I sunned the Solstice class. Now it's a favorite! :)

Not ready for booking? Given all the hype, Celebrity should have worked the kinks out of their website. Given that the Eclipse 14 night winter cruise out of Florida is not sailing winter 2019, I am surprised that the Edge is only doing 7 night cruises out of Ft. lauderdale. For those of us who like longer cruises, the Edge schedule is a disappointment. I will not do B2B out of Florida in the winter. You spend too much time at sea.

I noticed that all passengers on pictures are not older that 30-35 years old - exact targeted demographics. ;)

Very similar to IKEA.

 

X will make more money by offering 7 nighters rather than the longer sailings for the initial cruises. The Magic Carpet reminds me slightly of the Rising Tides Bar on Royal.

[gordylad]

looked at some photos of the cabins with balconies looks like the top window slides down and no longer a sliding door balcony........or is it?

[flyingv4me]

Looking forward to actual deck plans being released. 12% suites vs 5% on current ships according to the press conference. Not surprising, really.

[kikki21]

I like the design of the new ship but not quite sure about the Magic Carpet, it's definitely different & bigger staterooms are always going to go down well. So I guess we don't know if there will be any pre inaugural sailings on her.

It does say booking online will open up this evening.

THAT really stood out to me.

 

Love the look of the ship but very pricey for a bad Canadian dollar.

[flyingv4me]

Correct. Plus french doors to close off the balcony area if so desired. With the french doors open, the cabin is much larger than S class. I kinda like the idea of the balcony window that slides up/down.

[flyingv4me]

I do like that there will be single cabins, and not insides either, but balcony.

[chamima]

A lot of it is stuff I expected - not necessarily looked forward to but expected. :(

7 day itineraries, an upgraded and whole separate experience for suites (lounge, pool, dining room and area of the ship) and no more Aqua class. :(

 

I'm glad the Solstice class is still around.

 

 

EDIT: I stand corrected. Someone posted there is still Aqua class.:D

Brilliant idea to have an own deck for tender launches! :)

I assume you have to call to get the pricing? Can you give use your example? What price and category?

Thanks
