Following along. Love the honesty and humor. Some great tips in day 1 for a new to RCI cruiser such as booking reservations while waiting to board if you can get the ships wifi signal. Thanks!

This is beyond great news for us! I booked under the assumption the mask mandate indoors was lifted and was shocked to find out it wasn’t. But with this new policy, all is rectified. Just need to keep fingers crossed 🤞🤞 that there aren’t anymore serious waves of new variants.

Thanks for the detailed photo review. Going on an oasis class ship for the first time in a few months and more excited than ever! Especially given new no masks indoors policy for vaxxed. We are getting the UDP and cannot wait to try these restaurants!

Thanks for posting! Important information.

Worth a conversation with your GP too. Firstly rule out conditions like sleep apnea...then consider the wide range of nasal sprays and other medications which could help....

 

 

I am a physician! 😂 I have no problems at home or when traveling, it was just the last cruise I’ve been on or when I used to live in the extreme cold up north that the extremely dry air bothers me.

I will try contacting the cruise line directly tonight. Thanks for replies.

I tried searching this forum and celebrity’s website and found the only restriction is against flammable objects. I have one of the newer humidifiers that is the ultrasonic type where no heat is generated at all to create the mist. I don’t see how it would fit any category on the prohibited items list but I also couldn’t find anyone confirming they have successfully brought one on.

The reason I was to use the humidifier is because last time I sailed was on a balcony on the NCL Getaway and the room was always extremely dry to the point that I would wake up extremely uncomfortable and congested from the dry air. A few times we resorted to leaving the shower on hot to humidify the room but were uncomfortable by the heat and afraid the fire alarm would go off as we saw visible steam.

We are staying on an infinite veranda very soon and are actively packing and thought my humidifier would be the perfect solution.

Any advice/experience? Perhaps Celebrity might be able to lend us a humidifier in our room for our cruise? Perhaps the Edge rooms do not stay extremely dry? It was always my thought they did it to prevent any mold that could lead to odor and allergies for other guests that they kept the room so dry, however I don’t remember having a problem on the previous cruise I took on Celebrity Silhouette.

Similar traveling dates to ours, looking forward to your review!

Thanks for the information!

Yes there is a forward deck in front of the spa. It’s accessed through the SEA Thermal Suite so you need access to that part of the spa. There is no seating out there but it is a nice view. 

Awesome! Do you know if that part of the spa, the SEA Thermal Suite you mention’s access included with Aquaclass?

Following along, thanks for doing this!

I have not been able to find any definitive answers, please forgive me if it’s been covered before. I will be sailing in Aquaclass on the edge so have no forward ship access apart from the gym and the spa. From the videos and photos I’ve seen there is clearly a deck out in front of the spa, as well as doors. I have not seen any photos/videos of anyone out there at all though! I love feeling the breeze in my hair as I look forward on the cruise ship. Any experiences/photos would be greatly appreciated.

Very useful, thanks!

Personally, I'd prefer to have people using their cell phones to having creepy strangers taking photos of me or my family members.

🙌 Agreed. As long as technology use isn’t hurting anyone else like his creepy photo taking habits may be, let people do what they want on THEIR vacation.

At this time I’d like to address the grave issue reported on the forum regarding the complete and utter inadequacy of these newfangled paper straws.  In fact, I was able to consume an entire frozen mango daiquiri with no evidence of structural failure. Myth busted.

 

(I would advise the plaintiffs to review the proper operational procedure for these devices.  Place one end in the mouth and the other end in the beverage. Apply a combination of muscular action of the tongue and cheeks to reduce the air pressure in the mouth and above the liquid in the straw, whereupon atmospheric pressure will force the beverage through the straw. Please note, the drinking straw is not a chewy toy.)

Thank you for this! I will be on the edge shortly and our last cruise on NCL they had banned straws. We are beginning the packing process and we’re considering whether we needed to pack our metal and/or rigid reusable plastic ones. I just searched the forum for “straw” and found this post. I have never had a problem with the paper straws as long as I get a fresh one with each drink. I hope this is the same on the edge that it was for you on the Reflection.

Have an amazing trip! We board her in a few short weeks and cannot wait. Looking forward to more posts here.

So basically it sounds like the deck plan is useless it for determining bed orientation. I guess it will be a surprise when we board. We will be happy either way! Thanks for the replies.

Hello everyone, I will be returning to Celebrity once again after a few years (and am extremely excited to do so) but I can’t find the information I need. I was under the impression that my cabin on Edge had the bed by the bathroom based on these (http://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Celebrity/General_Info/EDGE/17055722_CEL_Deck_Plans.pdf) floor plans but a family member who watched room reviews told me it’s opposite. If anyone can please clarify I would be thankful.

I am booked in 10266, family are in 10264.

EDIT: I checked the spreadsheet and found neither of these rooms.

Cruising in about a month and it couldn’t come sooner. Following along for the photos!!!! Thanks for doing this.

Looks incredible, have an amazing trip!!

Thanks Doug for all the photos, have been following along and getting even more excited for my cruise in under 2 weeks!

Thanks for all the photos!!!

Is it just me, or do you get a TINY little thimble of beans?

The menu actually lists sautéed mushrooms for this dish and not beans. Maybe he requested them as a substitution or maybe the chef made the change.

Edit: Actually the beans are also mentioned as part of this dish.

I think that’s a reflection in the mirror - not 2 more bottles!

OMG did a double take and you are right! I’m losing my mind haha. When I went to look at the photo again I noticed the poster above me seems to be correct in saying the last 2 are hidden behind the champagne bottles (under the mirror). This thread is cracking me up haha. I’m in my late 20’s and I swear my eyes are going 🧐😆

Anybody able to count that up to 24? I’ve tried a few times and keep coming up short.

If you include the 2 at the top right of the photo which have similar looking caps, then yes there are 24!

Thank you two for uploading pictures during your vacation, I am living vicariously through you (albeit enviously lol)!
