The Bacon Egg cheese sandwich had raw pieces of bacon in it. 🤢🤮 I opted for the “steak” sandwich (pictured). Just way too much “bread” for my liking. positives… the sandwich was hot….👍 we love EDEN cafe...and the outdoor areas of EDEN. Were any items offered with an upcharge?

It is somewhat adventuresome You can choose the everyday classics, but the other selections are made with a twist. Some people complain "Nothing to eat!" but they are selective eaters thanks for the tip…now I know where the eyeballs staring up at me came from! 😂 I did check the menu and see quite a few things is still be willing to eat or try, so all good here!

I had done this experience on the Infinity during my Portugal and Spain sailing earlier this year, but none of the others in our group had, and I enjoyed it enough to do it a second time. the animation is really fun and the meal was actually good too, although, again… real lack of creativity with the dessert options. But I’ve beat that horse to death here, so I’ll move on. 😜 there are two menu options, the menu “extraordinare” follows the animation while the “other” menu just offers some alternates and the meal preparation animation on the plate won’t match what you’re eating, but it’s still entertaining….. We did this version in the Infinity in March, and it was a different menu. All I remember is our entree was short ribs, and they were the best part. In fact, I just went through my pictures (drat no menu pictures) and the food looks nothing like what you had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our friends got off and really liked this port stop. Fitness center… lots of torture machines the Spa as close I got to the Retreat. I plan to remedy this in 2025 😉😎 I'd rather book AQ Class with BLU and thermal suite area..but Retreat was fun once in our cruise lifetime..used up our Covid cancellations accrued fccs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks a little like a scoreboard... is it a screen? What is it? I am obsessed with this photo mainly because I can't recall the name..colors change regularly. It is very cool I bought a piece of jewelry on EDGE that depicted it.. Hope someone has more info.. I may check the EDGE Art book..but I think it had a function besides art???

Absolute, chambourd, and pineapple. sampled the lemon drop with lavender, (lavender added a funny taste to an otherwise good drink) cosmo, cucumber, a toffee apple, and a snowflake……the toffee apple and snow flake beat out all the deserts this week…. 10/10 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was delish…worth the $40 + grat upcharge…. It appeared on the planner as an “event” .?we showed up promptly at 4 pm, but it took awhile to get them to prepare after we ordered . We showed up silly tipsy to dinner since we had 30 minutes to pound these down. I recommend allowing some time to enjoy…. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare niksmom630 Posted December 9, 2023 Author #171 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Hit the gift shop for one last visit…,was thoroughly impressed that Celebrity hosts this in an interior venue, with no fear of riots. The frenzied scene that appears on Royal on the promenade is disturbing at best… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
