Beyond Questions

[Cruisegirl6]

We will be going on the Beyond on March 19, I have aqua class and daughter put in move up but I gather since there are only like 10 cabins open (all verandahs and concierge class are sold out) that she will not win the bid even though went higher than minimum.  I will cancel that out in a few days so she will purchase the thermal week pass.  I will then dine in the MDR with her since she won't be able to dine at Blu with us.

We have a few questions if you don't mind please:

 

For those who book guarantee stateroom (another family member took verandah guarantee) when do they assign cabin numbers, how far out from the cruise?

 

Where is the elite breakfast, and do you know what time it is served till?

 

When you reserve the dining room times as everybody now has anytime dining, if we were assigned 8pm can we show up at 7:30pm as we prefer to eat a bit earlier?

 

Even if we have chosen our time to dine in the MDR, are we able to show up at one of the other restaurants?  For instance our first night we are at Cosmopolitan we want to go to Normandy, will this be allowed?

 

What time range is the most crowded in dining in the MDR's?

 

How are the mattresses, are they saggy/soft, should I bring a pillow top?  We both have herniated discs/bad backs, and how are the pillows, I like a firm pillow since I have plates/screws in my cervical spine.

 

Is other a charge for two lobsters at Blu?

 

If I dine at Blu are there generally long wait times?

 

THANK YOU.

In your case, because you are in Aqua class, your assigned dining room is Blu. Since there is no assigned dining in Blu, the assigned time is meaningless. If you wish to eat in the MDR, you need to make arrangements with the Maitre D at Blu.

Elite breakfast was in Le Grand Bistro on deck 4.  I believe the times were from 8 to 10 am each day.

 

We found the mattress to be quite nice and firm.  But that is how we like a mattress.

I am assuming since we are linked together, and she is alone, I would like to think they allow me to eat in the MDR with her so we can be together.  I also made 4 nights MDR reservations on her account, added us as extra guests.  I will speak to the Maitre D when I board, do you think he be available or I would have to wait until Blu opens for dinner to ask him?  In other words, can he be found before dinner hours?

He/ She may be working in another area during that time.  Since Blu is a small dining room and only for AQ with open seating they don’t have many trying to move from traditional dining to anytime, large groups wanting to be seated together, folks trying to make or change reservations.  If there is no one at Blu when you board you can talk to one of the MDs at the main dining room.

Thank you so much.

Mattress on Beyond was too firm for me. Our cabin steward was able to add a one inch foam layer on top. All good afterwards.

I love firm mattresses, I am sure it be perfect for me and they probably firm because its a new ship, new mattresses my guess.

In the past, AQ class guests had their choice of pillows from a “pillow menu”. You can ask about that when you are in you cabin. I have requested firm pillows and our cabin attendant brought them  to the cabin.
