Book them now - they will be popular.big balconies and bigger cabins! AQ showers were amazing - jealous!! As you know we have one of each booked.... but we will be booking a back up cruise, just in case our Jan cruise becomes a one and done! Not giving up yet but too many evening venues are floating light shows....very harsh on the eyes and brain for us! Glad you are enjoying dinner on the MC.. what's for dinner, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about it looks repulsive to me! Repulsive..wierd ,,,.freakish...creepy! But we don"t have to go there..Hope that is the restaurant part not the outer EDEN area.... I am Interested in hearing about quiet mellow spaces for nightime fun..no jarring music and lights..My light show days are behind me. Need to preserve what's left of my hearing too!

I am wondering if that is when Captain Kate boards the Edge to be ready to take over for Captain Costas' vacation 6 moths later. I had been looking forward to possibly meeting Captain Costas, because I’d heard so many good things about him, but it appears I’ll miss him. Having sailed with both Captain Kafetzis and Captain McCue, I must say I found that both made an effort to mingle with passengers. Both were approachable, charming, popular, and highly competent. I’ll be happy sailing with any of the three. Edited December 4, 2018 by Silkroad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmb4567 Posted December 4, 2018 #1054 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I know I'm not booked in an IV or a suite but I'm really exited about my Deluxe Oceanview #9111 forward facing cabin. Maybe sometime in the future I'll be able to book an IV cabin. Have you seen this or talked to anyone who is staying here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harborgirl246 Posted December 4, 2018 #1057 Share Posted December 4, 2018 We absolutely loved our IV cabin and would book it again when prices come down. We don’t do room service so no problem with the veranda for us. We loved the soft neutral decor and the bathroom was functional and plenty of storage. There is a drawer under the sink also. There was ample closet space and much more storage than the S class balcony. So glad I don’t have to stand on the bed to get to those cabinets! We will be on Silhouette in a few days and hope that we’ll settle in and not be wishing for the Edge! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtcruising Posted December 4, 2018 Author #1059 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Here is the Blu outside dining (from Maureen): Here is the AQ shower heads (large rain at top and handheld) - looks wonderful! AQ bed near balcony - some really enjoyed this set up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtcruising Posted December 4, 2018 Author #1060 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Sunset Veranda cabin in our cabin crawl - two couples had two adjacent SVs and connected at the balconies, which were larger than normal. Cabin was longer than IV's as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtcruising Posted December 4, 2018 Author #1062 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Cabins above Eden - someone asked about noise above the outside Eden area. I went last night to check it out. There was no one sitting in the outside area, but they had a speaker out there broadcasting the show music. Someone on this cruise told me that she had her window closed and heard the Crescendo from Eden. I'm not sure if it was the speaker or not, but I would bet that they will stop using that since people above will complain. I think there is some risk of noise there, but not sure if they will take care of it before your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcampo Posted December 4, 2018 #1068 Share Posted December 4, 2018 VT, How was dinner on the MC? Was it on 5? If so, did you have the menu from Raw or did you have the buffet with seafood and caviar, like last night. Just wondering about the details of your dinner. Thank you!

vtcruising Posted December 4, 2018 Author #1069 Share Posted December 4, 2018 The Gelateria opposite Cafe al Bacio isn't on this ship. There is some gelato in the OVC next to the ice cream, though with a limited selection. You can get your free scoop of gelato there for Captains' Club. Ocean View Cafe, very nice place to eat, with lots of choices: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a separate menu of seafood and sushi ala carte. We had lovely Asian salads, shrimp tempura rolls and a seafood platter. It was a lovely night out there with very attentive service. They so want this MC concept to work! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtcruising Posted December 4, 2018 Author #1073 Share Posted December 4, 2018 As to 11268, I will start a thread about comparisons between S1 aft and S1/S2 midship, since I think there will be a lot of discussion. 🙂 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would you say the MC menu is not suitable for non-fish eaters? My other half won't do fish but we were tempted in by the chicken and steak entrees from the Raw on 5 dinner menu - did they feature?. It would be a shame if MC was out of bounds too (as well as Eden). Edited December 4, 2018 by dides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marilyn, I’m very happy to read this update! You’ll be restored to your original beauty in time to return to lovely Edge in January🙂 I can’t thank you enough for being such an inspirational force on the Edge threads.
