Agreed Boatharbour... there was a slight cover of soot at times. A few pool towels covering the loungers solved the issue, and the cabin steward ensured all was spick and span!

Sailed in the middle on Deck 7 around 6 weeks ago...only noise that came from below in Eden was quite "distant" and over by around 10.45. Suppose it depends what time you turn in whether the noise will effect your sleep! We've booked the same cabin for a B2B as it was no issue for us at all! (and believe you me, we are of an age where we need our beauty sleep 😉

As an Aussie I would comment that "Emerald" is far better known in Australia, mainly thanks to TV travel shows such as "Getaway" etc. and esp. since the arrival of their small luxury ocean ships.

Often thru the course of the sailing they offer a special discount, something akin to "all you can fit in the bag for X$'s". Just off a 12 night sailing in OZ on Edge and it never appeared, so not sure if they have done away with this as well?

Just done a Sunset Veranda on Edge, and have sailed in the largest bump out balconies 3 times now on Eclipse & Solstice. Forgetting about the differences in the classes, think I prefer the sunset slightly. No passing traffic, minimal noise, and the wake is very hypnotic and calming. Whichever you finally end up with will be great either way benefits!

Deck #: 7/315 EDGE Feb 2024 Cabin Category: Sunset Veranda Cabin Location: Aft. Middle Bed Position: By wardrobe Balcony Type: Sunset Veranda Balcony/Window Size: Deep and wide with 2 loungers 2 chairs and small table. Balcony/Window View/Obstruction: Right above the middle of Eden. Balcony Overhang?: no. Magic Carpet Issues?: No Noise Issues?: Very quiet. Wind Issues?: No Connecting Cabin? Not internal, outside to left only. Suite Details: N/A Advantages/Problems/Comments: PROS: Fantastic location with no "passing traffic". Long walk to elevator/stairs so no guilt about that extra cannoli in Tuscan for sweets;) Wake view gives a calming visual, and white noise. Minimal noise heard from Eden below, and that's VERY minimal, at least on our cruise as all entertainment finished at 11.15 pm in Eden. CONS: Slight soot on balcony...pool towels used to cover loungers and chairs. Just check in the morning before resting arms on the railing. Would You Book It Again?: Already have:) 🙂

If you do bring soda onboard are you permitted to take it to drink in the dining room/s without charge?

We'll be sailing in just under 3 weeks so I'll let you know the extent (if any) noise from Deck 7 Sunset.

.

Can you bring your own mineral water? If so, how many bottles, or no restriction? Can you take a bottle to the restaurant for dinner?

I wonder what is happening in Eden late at night to cause a noise? Didn't think that's where the nightclub is located.

Sailing in 3 weeks in #7315 (EDGE). From the above, it seems like noise will be ever present...anyone care to reassure me that I selected the right cabin almost 18 mths ago? 🤔

The confusion continues (for me). Have a cruise on Edge in a few months and needed to call Celebrity for another reason. The consultant asked me if I wished to make dining bookings with him whilst on the call. I thought that was very efficient so he started. We like to dine 7-7.30pm and have never had an issue getting a table for 2 on the S class cruises we've sailed. Well, to my amazement, the earliest he could secure a booking was 8.30 pm...earliest!!! We went thru the availability in the 4 dining rooms, and out of fear that I would miss out and have to dine even later (or earlier @ 5.30pm!) locked in that time slot. He did mention that once final payment was required there may be more suitable times come open as people often dropped out of the cruise. Now I read various different scenarios above, so fingers crossed we can book at our prefered time when on board.

Off on a short cruise that is now even a bit shorter! Grand Princess has elevated NORO cases and hence will do a deep clean on arrival in Melbourne this Saturday. Instead of departing at 5pm, communication states that all must be on board by 7 pm, no mention of sailaway time. Arrival at the pier cannot be earlier than 3.30 pm as there will be a deep clean of the terminal also. Never been on a ship that has undergone a "deep clean". Does that involve all staterooms as well?

Thanks Franski...appreciate your details to assist. 🙂
