Wonderful! Can’t wait😁

 

Thanks so so much for your live review, Marilyn. I’m so happy you’re having such fun! Have a margarita for me, ok?

 

Cheers!

Michelle

Not a problem! I will get one soon. Having wine at LPC now. This should be fun. I am roaring you Michelle!

Thanks for the info.... the plug by the bed is great... no more tripping over the cord in the middle of the night. Someone earlier in the day posted the updated photo of Mr Edge.  I looked at previous photos... the glass looked about 18" or more lower than it is now. I am basing that on one photo taken at a long range and one other closer shot. I can now sleep. I am telling you... give me your problem and I will worry for you. Also, I am really great at funerals of total strangers... you would swear I was a close relation... just how I am wired I guess.  Hope you are having a great time.    I keep seeing comments on facebook about the cabin seeming narrower than other cabins... but I think that the fact that the cabin is actually longer makes it look narrower... Also lack of curtains which can add the illusion of height might also impact perception of size.   I can not wait until our cruise.

We are liking the IV so far! More than I thought!😀❤️

Vt... I’m so happy for you! Please, enjoy every single moment of your cruise onboard Edge! It’s definitely a wonderful ship! 

 

I will be sailing on the 29th... I had a question regarding drinks. Are they complimentary on this cruise? Or at a fee like usual. Sorry if this seems a bit of a stupid question 😂 but I just wanted to be sure! 

 

Enjoy Le Petit Chef!

They are free!!! I asked how top shelf they will go and not too Top but I’ve been getting Patron!!  They will give us 50% off all bottles so we may get a nice bottle that we otherwise wouldn’t. 🙃

we got the expensive drinks in Eden free too! What a fun place that is - very nice bartenders!

Solarium is gorgeous too! I could live there. The loungers are comfy and a beautiful color. My bed is pretty hard - maybe I’ll sneak down to the solarium.

No small tables next to lounge chairs so where do you put a drink, book, etc.?  Noticed the same thing at the pool deck. The second photo looks like double loungers.

Are you able to see price of drinks at each bar? Will drinks at Eden and RTG be covered by the Premium package?

[hcat]

I am enjoying the live reports and comments..Vt you are so gracious, sharing your cruise with us all!

 

BLU, Solarium, RTG etc look awesome...can't wait to hear about  night life on EDGE!

 

Are any stores open?

I will look forward to meeting you on the 27th.

Hi VT!

Thanks so much for all the info and photos! I am so happy for you.....after so much time planning, investigating, imagining.....you’re finally onboard! The ship looks beautiful. I am vowing to book a voyage on her next month while I’m on the Equinox.

My husband is also one of the “just tell me the date and give me a suitcase and I’m ready” guys. Once onboard, he needs a drink, a cigar and decent internet and he’s happy !  So....my question is....is there a cigar smoking area at the Sunset Bar as on S-Class ships? 

Enjoy, enjoy , enjoy your sailings !

What ship has small tables next to the loungers?   It would be nice but I have never seen any tables next to loungers on any ship.

[RBKL]

We're in 12136 for the Dec 1 Preview cruise with you.

 

Thanks for posting from the Edge. We appreciate all the info you've shared.

Th S class solarium has a wooden frame on the loungers that you can put drinks, etc. 

[caroak]

If my recollection is correct Crystal and Oceania had some small side tables but those ships are a lot smaller and a lot less passengers.

The Oceania Riviera has them.  Here is a pic from the pool deck.

Certainly not a table on S-class ships

Not exactly an apples to apples comparison in cruise lines

[AtlantaCruiser72]

I know I have seen small tables between some pool side loungers on both HAL and Princess, which are direct competition to Celebrity.  Maybe not on all ships, or by all pools, but they definitely have them!

 

Royal Princess Main Pool

 

Konigsdam Main Pool

Here are some tables on the Nieuw Amsterdam.

Now it’s time to get back to talking about VT on the Edge. 

[J18ktleo]

Can I please make a request?

Can we please PLEASE stop posting stuff that is NOT related to this thread?

It really is challenging to keep logging on and on and reading stuff in another conversation...

I'm anxious to see pictures of THE EDGE, have plenty of pictures of every other cruise line out there and if not we can google it!

 

Thank you.....

So far I like 12136. It has a cool view of MC. It’s quiet so far. Wayan, the cabin attendant, is amazingly attentive. 

 

I will I’ll post pictures soon. See you on the Dec 1 cruise!

[vtcruising]

 

Sorry that I haven’t answered all posts in order. I have 200 posts to go though from all threads and have been so busy. 

 

LPC was fun- menu different than original but good. Didn’t care for the dessert . There are 2 choices.but only one that goes with the story. Our waitress was top notch and kept filling our wine glasses. I love wine with dinner but I don’t usually have more than 2 glasses. I got caught up in the excitement and that’s why I didn’t do any posts last night. ☺️

 

The plan today is to go to Nassau and they Will give the manifest to the authorizes to satisfy the foreign port visit requirement. We will stay on ship and be there 4-5 hours. We can go out on a tender ride to tour around the outside of the ship, if we want to so we will do that- really looking forward to it. 😀

 

Here is the schedule for today. We are going to be very busy and I will do my Thermal Suites too.

 

 

A few things:

My DH loves the pool!! 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!

 

The storage is pretty good. There are 3 drawers in main cabin and 3 in closet. There is also some storage under the coral. There is no top drawer above refrig as it looks - just a fridge in there. It has a code lock on it. The safe is in closet and it seems a little smaller than usual. I will try to measure today. BTW, I don’t find the cabin sterile.

 

 

 

Plugs by bed - people use too one for CPAP

 

 

 

 

Door hanger 😀

There is a smoking are on the starboard side of the Sunset Bar. I noticed. I am assuming they allow cigars per usual. I haven’t see a smoking policy yet. I will try to find one.

 

That Sunset Bar was hopping last night at sailaway. There are TAs from all over (other countries than US) and there was a helicopter zooming around us taking aerial photos. We stopped about 4 miles out from port for the photo shoot. Every time they would swoop down we would all shout and wave. My DH was on the IV when it pulled next to us to shoot the MC- luckily he was dressed!!
