[Mrs.Dukes]

Thanks for sharing all the beautiful pictures. Looks like another fabulous cruise!

Dinner tonight in Cyprus.

 

 

 

 

 

Taverna Salad

 

 

Lamb Shank Tagine

 

 

Dessert Menu

 

 

Giaourti Me Meli

 

 

Baked Alaska

 

 

Upon check in the host/hostess will provide a bag for your mask.  Tuscany also did this.  Makes sense as opposed to putting your mask on the table or in your pocket.

The early dinner in Cyprus was to make sure I was done in time for the 7pm showing of Kaleidoscope in the theater.

 

With so few guests on board I had the front row (minus one for social distancing)  to myself.

 

 

 

Despite playing to nearly empty theater the cast didn't hold back and gave it everything.

 

 

 

 

 

Well done!

Day Seven - Sea Day

 

I'm going to miss this Steak & Egg Bagels with a view (plus a Bacon, Egg & Cheese Ciabatta).

 

 

I spent most of the rest of day 7 getting the content for this thread organized and uploaded.

 

The view from "my office" as I worked on this:

Day Eight - Port Everglades

 

Ocean Cafe opened at 6am so with a breakfast in my belly there were a few minutes left to explore the ship one last time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello Odyssey of the Seas!  The last time i was on her I was looking back towards terminal 25 and the Apex.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[twangster]

Odds and ends.

 

The cabins on Edge have a WiFi access point right inside the cabin. This is a much better design compared to other cruise lines (cough, cough Royal Caribbean) that place the access points in the hallway.

 

The phones have a USB charging port on the side

 

 

 The ship's Captain and Master.

 

 

Our progress...

 

[twangster]

Debarkation started for self assist guests at 7:20am.

 

From the moment I left my cabin I never stopped walking.

 

7:25am

 

7:26am

 

 

7:27am

 

 

Facial recognition for CBP.

 

Outside at 7:30am

 

 

The parking garage for drive to cruise guests. 7:33am

 

 

Port Everglades parking rates.

 

 

One last look from the parking garage over to Odyssey of the Seas

 

 

... and to the Edge.

Did you happen to notice if the app included a TV sleep timer? I've never managed to get a sleep timer to work on a ship. Having the TV on helps mask the sound of Hubby's snoring and I find I can get to sleep faster.

 

The TV remote has a sleep button.

 

 

Each press of the sleep button cycles through the sleep timer options.

What a great deal for that upgrade to the sunset veranda cabin!

 

Your photos are beautiful.  Thanks for taking us all along with you!

[mafig]

Some of the most beautiful photos of Edge I've seen.  👍

[long time lurker]

Thanks for a great review!  We are on the Edge in March for the first time.  We have a sunset veranda.  Could you tell me what deck you were on and if the balcony provided any shade?  TIA

[rvlandandsea]

Loved the pictures. Special mention to that inside cabin. I wondered about booking it. Great escape from a cold snowy day in Ottawa.

Thanks! I've had a sleep button on ships before, but never one that actually functioned. I'm happy to know that it does on this ship!

Deck 9.

 

All balconies will have sun or shade based on the angle of the sun and heading of the ship.  There was not constant sun on the balcony but there were times there was morning sun or afternoon sun coming in from an angle.

Amazing pictures! The Edge is such a beauty, we will be sailing on her in 2 weeks.
The ship looks like a ghost town, is this because Celebrity only allows a certain percentage to sail or is nobody booking cruises because of COVID?

Thanks again for such a gorgeous review. 

[beerrun]

Thank you for your review!  We were on the fence as to sail next week or reschedule once masking policy changes.  Your pictures are and excellent reminder of how amazing the Edge is and convinced us to go ahead and sail.

The virus and Omicron never cast any shade on this cruise.  It's a beautiful ship.  Enjoy your cruise.
