And what brand are they using on this ship? THanks for all the great pictures. Great question! It hadn’t occurred to me that the toiletries might be different. Vt, could you also tell us if the toiletries are likely to trigger allergies (scented, light scent, or unscented)? The ones in use in non-suites on the other ships are fine for me, but if Edge’s are highly scented, I’ll need to pack my own for our April TA.

Question about the cabanas: Can you actually rent half of a cabana or is that especially done for these TA/promotional cruises? I might be interested if it's half the price and quiet place. No it will be available for all, I assume. Mine is rented for the Dec 1 regular cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtcruising Posted November 26, 2018 Author #203 Share Posted November 26, 2018 These are in the concierge shower: This is the lotion and ingredients: Here is is the shower head. Wonderful - has 4 settings and is removable. The shower is huge! Secret: if you leave the Bathroom door open you will see a bit of ocean from your shower. Just hope those window washers don’t go by! Here is the control. It works perfectly from my phone and I can use my phone as a key!! I haven’t done the virtual tour . Will try later. Got to go hear Lisa and Richard talk!😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamthesea Posted November 26, 2018 #204 Share Posted November 26, 2018 To add to Host Anne's comments. When replying/quoting post, could everyone try not to re-post the photos that have already been shown. Just backspace them to delete off of your reply. It gets annoying having to scan through the same photos over and over again. Makes the thread longer than it needs to be and harder to read new post. VT - I am thrilled with your review and so glad that you are having a great time! I have a couple of measuring request for the IV. Could you please measure the height and width of the largest cubby next to the bed. And also the H/W/L of one of the corner shelves in the bathroom. Wanting to see if my collapsible cubbie's will fit in those spaces. Thanks so much! Also, when you get time, could you please post some more photos of the stateroom and bathroom. Maybe a shot further out for the bathroom. Hard to get an idea of the size (supposedly larger than the Solstice class, which I do not see) with the close-ups that you showed before. Thank you so much! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtcruising Posted November 26, 2018 Author #205 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Just saw MC go up from 2 to 5. I’ll try to upload video. It makes one medium buzz the whole time and a clangs here and there and had one loud bang. Just took 3 min.

beachbunny6 Posted November 26, 2018 #206 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Thanks for the information about the shampoo, conditioner, etc. I will continue to bring my own, since lavender makes me really nauseous. Hope your tender ride was fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He swam laps and said it was delightful. Best on a cruise ship! The IV control panel tripped be up already. I woke up at 1 am too hot so went to turn the temp down and hit the wrong button. The shade went up (makes a noise) and every light came on ( I hit the “morning” button). Then I started punching buttons to stop the shade and turn off the lights. My DH slept through the whole thing! Pretty funny! -------------------------------------------- 😀 LOL, the visuals on that movie... Glad you got it worked out... bon voyage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a Moroccan Oil person so brought my own. I tried the lotion and smell is mild - hands feel nice. Bathroom soap is mild.

TeeRick Posted November 26, 2018 #217 Share Posted November 26, 2018 On 11/25/2018 at 9:55 AM, Host Jazzbeau said: Ship 'size' isn't based on length or width, but on 'tonnage' [which is actually a measure of the volume of all of a ship's enclosed spaces]. Here are the tonnage specs for these ships: Infinity 90,940 Edge 129,500 Reflection 125,366 What's good is that Edge is larger than Reflection but has fewer passengers. Thus the space per passenger is 44.4 for Edge vs. 41.2 for Reflection. Edge has the best ratio of any Celebrity ship, and Reflection the worst [except the Galapagos ships] Since Harmony is there as well- her stats: Tonnage 227,000 Length 1188 Beam 217 Capacity 5479 plus crew They are all baby ships compared to Harmony!

Denny01 Posted November 26, 2018 #221 Share Posted November 26, 2018 VTCruiser - on a number of threads, there have been more than a few comments made by posters looking just at photos and saying how uncomforetable the lounges, chairs, sofas, etc are. I always get a kick out of such strong opinons. You may have already commented on this and I missed it, but can you give us your opinon based on actually sitting, and laying on a lounge if X put uncomfortable seats on the Edge because they look nice but are unusable please.

Silkroad Posted November 26, 2018 #222 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Vt, I think Denny’s idea is brilliant, but suggest you combine cocktail & wine testing with chair/sofa/settee/lounger testing😁 Cheers🥂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
