I've used my Premium Package at the Martini Bar.    Possibly the other thread was referring to the restriction of using you Captain's Club Free Drink hours (5-7) at the Martini Bar (which is specifically listed as not included).  

That was my thought too. Great minds....

I believe the Martini Bar confusion is not those who have the Premium package, but those with the Classic. Some have been able to pay the difference, some have not been charged extra and some have been flatly refused service.

I read about that too, but this was the first I had heard about the Premium packages being refused too. That incident of refusing to make a regular martini for a Classic package guest on one ship is most likely not a fleet-wide policy.

 

I think the Edge is different in that there is a 120 person capacity in the Martini Bar area. It is more than a bar, since there is often live music there and it is a central gathering place. I can't imagine that they aren't servicing all packages. 🙂

Talking about the Casino.  Here’s a peek.

One of my favorites!!  Poker at the bar.  I know it's not the smartest thing in the world to do, but it's enjoyable to do a little poker while drinking a few or 5 drinks.  

If you get a chance...Any keno machines?

Just took a look and didn't see any Keno machines.    I'm not a gambler (haven't even hit Pearl yet) so may not know what I'm looking for.    The machines at the bar are multi-game and looks like there are 4 games to select from.

Today started out clear but has been VERY windy and we have had a couple showers.    The winds have been hitting at 25-35 MPH.   I had to move my walking inside as it was too strong in certain sections of the track to walk.

Last night 11/13 was our 3rd Chic night.    It was a very festive night with activities abounding all over the ship.   We decided to FINALLY  stop by to see the Eden show which was at 10:15.    It was much more entertaining that I had expected.   I think I was a bit scared off by the number of early reports.     I'm sure it has been mentioned that they changed the show to be less immersive and is not only 45 minutes long.     I would guess that the upper areas were only 15-20% occupied so plenty of seating with a really good view.

Jim - I did not realize that you were so limber and acrobatic!

 

Guess I have to practice up for the show on our sailing next week! LOL

11/13 - Chic Night

For starters Iain had the Escargot and I had the smoked trouts

We both selected the Lobster 🦞 for dinner.   We specifically ordered only one which for us was a perfect serving size.  It was very tender and nicely prepared.

For desert I ordered the Baked Alaska which I haven’t had in over 10 years.   I was pleasantly surprised was delicious.

The interesting thing is Iain said the shirtless guy was one of his smoking buddies.

The worst part of the cruise is when you come back to the room and find these on your Bed. 

Tomorrow will be a busy day for the crew.  They say they have to report at 3:45 am for immagration. 

 

Walk off is scheduled to begin at 6:20

Nice videos. I just noticed from them and then had to go back to your earlier pictures of Eden that they have removed the very obtrusive stage that was ever present during our voyage.

wondering if it is movable as I recall it being there earlier in the cruise.   
 

Just looked back and pictures and found it.
