When I had Mohs surgery on the side of my nose I was horrified that the tiny spot required the crater he dug out of my face and the huge unwieldy bandage on my nose. Couldn’t wear glasses. I felt the dermatologist should have prepared me for what the incision might look like so I wouldn’t have been so shocked. But it healed well…and DH had an idea what his might look like when the sun finally caught up with him…

I’ve sailed Edge three times, Apex and Beyond once…all in an infinite veranda cabin…not a suite. Honestly, if you didn’t know The Retreat existed you’d never know. True the suites have the only forward facing area…and I thought I’d miss the Sky Lounge of the S Class…but Eden is a spectacular venue! And the 4 MDR concept with the extra menu options is amazing! Edge Class ships are stunningly beautiful; you definitely do not have to be in a suite to enjoy them.

Noises in cabin on Celebrity Ascent and Beyond
helen haywood replied to dacf's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Was this an aft or forward cabin? I have a sunset veranda booked on Beyond soon…hoping for the best. Have a porthole cabin booked on Ascent but not until 2026…refundable deposit…if these reports continue I’ll cancel that cruise and stick to only M and S Classes on Celebrity. Sigh. -

Have there been any reports of noise issues in the porthole veranda cabins? -

Noises in cabin on Celebrity Ascent and Beyond
helen haywood replied to dacf's topic in Celebrity Cruises
As the Edge and Apex are slightly smaller than Beyond and Ascent…I’m assuming something in the design change adding more cabins is at fault for producing the noises. -
Beyond- still beyond creaking and clicking
helen haywood replied to Dylan0474mac's topic in Celebrity Cruises
As to why people continue to book Beyond, I don’t know how many people who either reported here or experienced noises but are unaware of Cruise Critic (🙀) are actually giving Beyond another try. I know I mentioned in my post +301 that I’m only giving Beyond another chance because I’m booking an aft Sunset Veranda. So many people here have read the comments but not experienced the noises first hand and poo poo the complaints as “all ships make noises while sailing.” If I experience the same banging hammer and bowling ball noises I had in an IV in the Sunset Veranda, you can absolutely believe I will not sail Beyond again! -

The CD did not give Captain Kate the question re noise. Surprise. -
What ship? Things are a bit different on Solstice Class ships versus Edge Class ships.

Beyond- still beyond creaking and clicking

I experienced this banging noise on Beyond in an IV cabin, 7161, in November 2022. I reported it on these boards. We sailed Apex, IV cabin 7231, in November of 2023 and experienced no noise issues. We’ve also sailed Edge several times in IV cabins with no noise issues. This leads me to believe the Edge and Apex don’t suffer (at least to the extent) from the noise issues that Beyond does. That worries me about subsequent builds. We are sailing soon on Beyond in a Sunset Veranda and I haven’t heard reports of these aft cabins being affected. I’ll report if our cabin does. -
Has anyone had personal experience of a cruise line contacting a noted emergency contact? I wonder if it’s just a legal requirement to have such information. On Celebrity during online checkin there is a place to list an emergency contact but the form only allows you to list a first name…no spaces. LOL. I suppose you could run their name together: JohnGreen.

Oh boy. OJ Simpson. We were doing some indoor painting during the trial and watched Court TV all day. It was absolutely astounding to me to see what the MSM’s reporting in the evening was of the recap. Not at all what had really occurred! Felt especially sorry for Ron Goldman’s family. Glad OJ was found guilty in the civil case. Vincent Bugliosi wrote a fantastic book about the trial: Outrage: The Five Reasons OJ Simpson Got Away With Murder. Also felt terrible for OJ and Nicole’s children.
