I wonder if, since the ship was built after covid started, they did a change on the fly for more recirculation. Anybody have a recollection of how thats done on Apex or edge? Certainly more than S class. Here's a photo of the Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rare Cruise Critic Chris Posted April 27, 2022 Author Members #128 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Dinner in Le Voyage was pretty spectacular, I have to say. I would choose this restaurant over Eden for a special meal on the ship. It should do well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rare Cruise Critic Chris Posted April 27, 2022 Author Members #129 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Don't sleep on the Stage Door show. Yes, every cruise line has a Broadway hits show. But Celebrity did something different here with its new technology and screens. All in all, I thought the production shows were a step above what I've seen out there lately. I see a lot of shows, and I was entertained. Of the 3 new shows, I liked Elements the least. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spas are identical on the Edge and Apex,so it would interesting if any enhancements were made. I REALLY wish they would utilize the outside forward deck at the spa. It's such a wonderful space but it's terribly wasted on both the Edge and Apex since there's no seating, no nothing except for a few sculptures. And there was no T pool anywhere., could be a nice spot for a hot tub area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the capacity is 50 pax so I imagine it's hard to get a reservation? We had a pretty "interesting" Goop discussion. I read about Gwenyth Paltrow possibly being on a Beyond cruise? I read about 4/27 but is it confirmed that she will be on board? Hope X gives up on Goop! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not recommend the specialty dining package, unless your only goal is to save money...You don't "book" your reservations until on board and Eden, Le Voyage may be sold out for the entire cruise at that point. It happened to a lot of folks on my March Apex cruise. I tried to book Eden again after dinning there the first night and it was sold out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Gal Posted April 27, 2022 #136 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) We were in a CS on the Edge & have one booked on the Beyond in Oct. We found that the tub shower leaked all over the floor. It was a bad design-narrow and slippery, too. Have they made any improvements to the bath situation? Thank you for the pictures of the CS.

Is your comment about on board only reservations apply to when you have a package? or any reservation. There are times when a discount for a specific specialty restaurant or night may be offered through your Cruise a planner. However, if you purchase a specialty dining package of a certain number of nights (i.e. 3, 4, 5 nights), you cannot make reservations before boarding. There will be an arbitrary reservation made in one of the restaurants by Celebrity for either the first or second night, but it is basically a place-holder which you can change once onboard.

If it's the same design as in the Sky Suites what you have to do is before opening the glass door to exit just quickly swipe your hand on inside ledges of the tub to wipe away any accumulated water. Then nothing will drip from the inside to the outside when you open the door. Literally several swipes did the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X should just put squeegie in each shower if it cannot get the situation fixed the right way. Just what I want to do in a suite or any cabin-use my hand to push the water away from a shower inside door.

Rare hcat Posted April 30, 2022 #146 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Nice article and enjoyed the posts here. Thank you for sharing. If LLP 's target is Gen X she may be "missing the boat" by overlooking others who like to cruise. Hoppen decor was not that popular or comfortable on the other E ships, and GOOP has fallen short so far ( lack of cohesive brand identity) Other than that we are looking forward to our BEYOND cruise.,..even if we are generation "happily retired". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us it means more time for the gym, hiking, swimming, gardening, dh golf, enjoying our vacation home, many other interests, ability to spend more time enjoying life and our grands..they def keep us feeling young! We will add cruising back in slowly as we start to feel safe with it. First one is BEYOND in Nov. Loved all the photis in this report! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
