jagoffee Posted November 20, 2022 #451 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I have no idea why the shoreside concierge asked for the quantity of luggage or estimated arrival time. When I travel in on of the upper category suites, this seems like useless information. We just finished a B2B of 14 days total. We had breakfast in Luminae for 11 days. All days except the three that we enjoyed room service breakfast. By far breakfast our favorite meal in Luminae. Just an overall excellent breakfast experience. We had no lunches in Luminae. The Silhouette has the Porch and Lawn Grill, which is nice for an occasional lunch. We dined a lot in the Speciality Dining, since it was included with our cabin category. We dined four times in Murano’s. It is our favorite restaurant and we missed it on our last Apex cruise. Also twice in Tuscan. We did enjoy the Luminae for dinner. We enjoy it more on the S class, because we have the full MDR menu as an option. The lack of a full MDR menu on the Edge Class in a big negative for us. We find the Luminae options do not always match our likes. However service was always excellent. If we cruise on an Edge Class ship again, we will probably dine in one of the MDR occasionally depending on the menu. The Bistro was our favorite speciality restaurant on the Apex. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are planning on 11, but in that case we may have to wait to board if the ship isn’t cleared to board yet? also, did they bring your luggage right away? Wasn’t sure if we should give up our small carryon suitcase that has all the electronics.. thanks so much for your info!! Hope you loved the Beyond!

Wanted to book it as part of a family cruise, but instead booked the Royal Loft and two Star Lofts on an RCL Oasis ship, due to younger children. Iconic has a great balcony otherwise, just can't see all that stateroom space for just two of us. An EV is ideal (the overhang blocking PH and RS balcony sunshine is attrocious). Interested if service level improves for Iconic, then maybe. For us it is just the opposite. There was almost no shade on the Apex EV, which was a big negative for us. We could seldom use our balcony during the morning or day. It has absolutely no cover. You should like the Iconic suite (at least on the Apex), because it looked to be mostly uncovered and very large. Initially I thought the balcony was a public deck initially. Enjoy the Iconic suite.

It’s definitely a huge room for only 2 people, but as Captain Kate said in her video on the room tour “we don’t judge” 🤣🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doable, but I asked the two youngest which ship they liked. Hands down Oasis class (Harmony of the Seas). Oh, well. When they're a little older I'll take all of them on Celebrity.

We are going on this with friends for a Thanksgiving trip, or we would have chosen more exciting ship for them lol. We do the occasional Celebrity because our friends like it ( they don’t have kids), but we mix in plenty of fun cruises as well. My husband and I got married on the Oasis back in 2010, so we are definitely oasis class fans 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told the driver I had it and he asked for it when we encountered someone directing traffic. We were waved around. Probably didn't hurt that it was black Lincoln limo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want a blankie on my bed. 😅 Totally get what you're saying but we're talking about the highest category on the ship which in turn costs a pretty penny. I've been in a RS three times and didn't even know asking for PJ's or robes was a thing...you better believe I'm asking on our upcoming Solstice cruise. For what we are paying to be in a RS, my butler should be begging me to take a robe! Edited November 20, 2022 by Georgia_Peaches 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
