Actually I did that --- you can only see each on a list if you click right ..... I cut him out as otherwise it would have duplicated the previous 2 or 3 when I posted it ... it just blew him up i size... lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Airbalancer Posted August 8, 2022 #378 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I think I like M-class better than E-class ship there appears to be more locations to enjoy the water 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our requests relayed to the shoreside concierge were not relayed to anyone on board. We also had Apollo! He was great. In Luminae we also had a great waiter. His name was Yuda. Could you let me know if you see him? He may have gone on vacation. Had Yuda in the spring--he's probably ready to go on vacation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have some waterproof slickers that were really handy when we were in Scotland. Being a Scot Iain's second favorite expression is - "It's only water". <snip> Dare we ask what Iain's favorite expression is? Really enjoying following along - we didn't get to Bermuda this summer so it's been too long since we were on the Summit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked like the harbor was really busy. Glad you liked my "captures" from the PTZtv New York Harbor Webcam. It is too bad that you didn't get to have a close up visit to Lady Liberty, but it appears that you and Iain had a better view of her from your balcony than your cruise mates on the starboard side did?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieq Posted August 8, 2022 #386 Share Posted August 8, 2022 2 hours ago, Jim_Iain said: Ok. Back to walking. My regular walking 🚶♂️ route on nice days is Deck. 11 and 12. I walk the track but make a detour up to Retreat Sundeck around the front of ship and back down. Around the ship up the stairs to deck 12 Rooftop Terrace. This is one of the reasons we love the edge class - the track. Perfect celebrity ship for us would be track from edge class, Eden edge class, pool edge class, sunset bar edge class, martini bar solstice class and sky lounge solstice class Looking at how we can get on the beyond soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Customer service line extended all the way yup to martini bar." The reason for the big line was that they either forgot or were unable to put the AI drink package on our cards, so we had to stand in line to get stickers on our cards. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a person in that line, the reason was the drink packages were not on the sea pass cards so, after checking that one has the package, a sticker was applied to the sea pass card. When I was in line that was why everyone was there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it more than annoying when my card starts out wrong, It would seem that the system would know not to charge drinks and internet without the sticker! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is so nice. Mar and Penelope were the best Retreat Concierges we have ever had. We had three generations (my mom, me, and my son) on the Summit in June and they were BEYOND helpful!!!! Always so friendly and bending over backwards to make our cruise as wonderful as it could be!! Please tell them that Carolyn, Lisa, and Jake say hello! And we miss them!

That would have the BP listed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has happened to us several times on X We carry our paperwork with us and it gets corrected quickly. Once or twice, those without paperwork had to "pay" while waiting for shoreside confirmation to come through..Billing nightmares for sure! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do carry out paperwork, we’ve needed it for airlines and hotels too. for X the one thing that gets repeated more than a few times is they key or even swipe our credit card wrong and we get a letter that there is a problem, after a few days. Admittedly, the last one turned out to be fraud that the credit card caught especially since they had a travel alert! That was the first leg of 3 so we needed another credit card, which we always carry in case of loss or fraud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted August 9, 2022 #396 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Wow..,all sorts of snafus. Very bad! One time the person who checked us in marked us as "pay by cash". We realized late into the cruise when we received an invoice, so luckily we got that fixed. We could not have made our on board account payment in cash! Would have delayed getting off the ship.. now we always dbl and tripl check! On Connie, a bunch of room cards repetitvely were taken out of the system and had to be re-issued, including ours. It was very annoying esp needing a new card to get off at ports. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple years ago on a TA, Beaches to Broadway we had an overnight in Manhattan. On arrival the made a close pass by Lady Liberty (we were on the Helipad) what fantastic views. The fun part was we docked within walking distance to Time Square next to USS Intrepid. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the incline for cardio but yesterday I got 87 flights of stairs in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
