So to clarify the November 16 TA sailing will be her first sail after dry dock? We are on that cruise so hope she gets out of dry dock in time. One never knows what other things are discovered when a ship goes into dry dock! Ask any countries Navy!

Yes. It is to be a 2 week dry dock. Hopefully all goes well and your cruise leaves as scheduled.

Interesting occurrence today. We are in LeVerdun, France.  The local pilot arrived by helicopter this morning.

do balcony cabins have a foot stool? Thanks so much for doing this review. We are on the TA in November.

Is the Murano still a Five (5) Star restaurant with excellent food and service?

I haven’t eaten there, but friends have and they said they were pleased.

If you have read about Parkwest, reserving the sky lounge on sea days for it special invitation- only auctions, that is correct.  They are doing this for five cruises in a row, this is number three with two more to come.

I am not in balcony cabin, but friends are and I will ask them what they have

[catspaw1]

Thanks!

Cruisestitch, thanks so much for your posts. I’m enjoying following your cruises.  Sorry for your missing the Sky Lounge, nothing we do personally but can understand the disappointment if you are into it.  Thanks, Katie

Cruisestich , thank you very much for clarifying about the Sky Lounge & Parkwest. Am I correct or not that they only use it during the day & evenings it’s open for the bands, etc. ??

Some days they are out at three and others they are out at 9 PM. It appears that on the days when they leave the sky lounge at three their activities move to Celebrity Central, with quasar being used to store their items

Cruisestitch-thank you so much for clarifying! It is a bit of a disappointment that the beautiful Sky Lounge is being taken away & used for Parkwest! 
 

Enjoy the rest of your cruise & thank you again!

Here is this Cruise’s park west schedule.  I have no information about their schedule for the next two upcoming cruises, but I assume it will be similar.

[Cruiscs]

Have you been on E class also? How will you compare the two classes of ships?

[cruisestitch]

For me in class was One and Dunn. I will never book another E class ship.YMMV

Are there footstools and reclining chairs on the hump balconies?  Would rather NOT have to bring footstools or inflatable things.  We’re on the upcoming TA.

We’re on this sailing too. I don’t know what a hump balcony is but we’re in an AFT balcony on deck 6 right above the lifeboats. We have 2 chairs with adjustable backs and a small round table. We do not have any footstools.

Edit to say we’re on this sailing too.

For years I have been bringing my own foot stool on cruises, because not every balcony or every cruise line provides them. This is the one I have and it works great. It is very compact when collapsed and easily fits in along the side of my carry-on roller bag:

Thank you both for the footstool info.  Some in hump (slant) cabin posted a pix with the chairs and footstools.  Guess it wouldn’t hurt to purchase 2 of those foldable ones, just in case.

Blow up beach balls work too and they are cheap and expendable

[alfiemom]

Blowup how?  Please don’t say with my mouth.

Well that is the most common way

But you can also use a hair dryer on cool setting
