So I am ELITED and concierge and expedited.  Doe ELITE and concierge still board before all expedited?  Not sure about order of boarding - like to board early  - seems like an extra day of vacation.  Your pics are excellent - thanks so much for posting all of them - looking forward to more.  Your pics and enthusiasm make me even more excited about our 2021 cruise - which seems so far away!  Enjoy - smooth sailing - look forward to all your future posts!!

Thanks for all the information all of you provided.  I DID go on the website and was able to change our times to 1:00 (the earliest available shown).  So we are both expedited at 1:00 - but will show up around 10:30 or 11:00 and get on board early as we always do!!  

We are currently ELITE members of the Captain's Club.  When I completed our check in it says we are ELITE - PEARL - I have no idea what PEARL means next to ELITE status - does anyone know what this means?  Thanks for your help!

It was easy enough to complete all information for expedited boarding using the Celebrity App.  The strange thing is - it lists MY boarding time as 2:30 and my wife's boarding time at 3:00.  Now that does not make too much sense - we have always boarded Celebrity Summit in Cape Liberty by 11 or 11:30 a.m.  Since we signed up for this expedited boarding - does that mean we CANNOT board till 2:30 and 3:00.  If so, what is the point?  We like to board early - it is like an extra day of vacation.  Please advise if you were able to board in a.m. and a different time than you expedited pass states.  Hoping to board for an early lunch - as we always did sailing on the Summit.  Thanks for any input from someone using the expedited pass on the iPhone.

Was theater seating updated on the recent renovation?  Just curious - the rest of the ship looks so different - didn't see any pics of the theater?

I thank you for the prompt responses - was hoping for fresh squeezed OJ - as Royal Caribbean still offers that - oh well - not going to ruin my cruise;)

Are fresh fruit  juices INCLUDED in the premium non alcoholic beverage package?  Can you also order fresh orange juice in restaurants and buffet for breakfast?

Booked Edge for a year out from now.  We have opted for Select Dining - how far out will the website allow us to start booking for the various 4 MDR reservations?  Our names are there, but when we go to select restaurant - nothing happens.  Restaurant choices to not appear.   Guess we are trying too early?  Thanks for any information on timing on when this will open - how much time before the cruise is the earliest we can book?

We just recently booked a back to back on the Edge.  I have a few questions and would appreciate a response from anyone who has sailed her and knows the answers.

1.  We are in a Concierge cabin.  Our friends are in a Celebrity Suite.  Even though they have access to Luminae - their desire is to dine with us.  We have selected Select Dining Plus for the first cruise.  Will they be allowed to dine with us in any of the 4 MDR ?  Do you suggest we make reservations before we sail to be sure to get the times we want for the nights we want?  How soon can this be reserved?  We DID book traditional early dining for our second cruise of the back to back.  Our friends will only be on the first cruise.

2.  Do you book entertainment ahead on this ship like Royal Caribbean has you do for Oasis class ships?

3.  Will we be required to exit the ship between sailings?

4.  Will we be invited to attend the embarkation lunch for the second cruise offered for Concierge passengers since we are already on the ship?

Any overall advice about pros or cons of this ship would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for your time - smooth sailing to all.

Please do not ask why I did not do a search - for some reason I am having difficulty with that feature for some reason on my computer.

We are sailing Oasis of the Seas out of Cape Liberty on August 1, 2020.  Ports of call include Port Canaveral, Miami, Perfect Day at Coco Cay, and Nassau.  This is an 8 day cruise - all others out of Bayonne all summer seem to be only 7 days and NOT including a stop at Miami.  Does anyone know why this week is different and including Miami?  Is anything going on special in Miami?  It just seems odd, but we selected this date to have one extra day on the Oasis.  

Recently some bartenders - give you a 0.00 due to sign receipt hoping for an additional tip - I have seen this more frequently in the last year.

I noticed the location of locker rooms has changed - old ones now made into cabins.  Do the new locker rooms still offer sauna?

Wonderful - thanks again for all the feedback!

I have appreciated all your responses - thanks so much.  AND one more question - we have 3 Aqua class cabins in a row on deck 11 - We are hoping the balcony dividers can be removed for these 3 cabins - Let me know if this is possible and any pics also if open.  Thanks again - your input has been most helpful -  Not going till May, but very excited - we love BLU!!!

Thanks for your response - is there a sofa between the bed and the balcony? Or is sofa next to bathroom?  

Thank you SO much for the pic of the location from the outside - I am delighted that we do NOT have the support arms directly at our cabin for a good view!

If anyone has stayed in this cabin - please advise if bed by balcony or by bath?  Also, any pros or cons to this location - any information greatly appreciated and better yet - pics!!!  Thank you so much!

If anyone has stayed in this cabin please advise if bed is closer to balcony or the bathroom.  And if you have any pros or cons about the location of this cabin please express them.   Any information or pics appreciated!  Thanks so much!  Good view from balcony? No obstruction?  

Someone posted that if you choose Traditional Dining - which we prefer - you will be assigned the Cosmopolitan MDR - others said you will be assigned ONE of the four.  Since we booked almost a year and a half out - could our TA request which dining room we would like for Traditional or is it automatically Cosmopolitan - which is what we would prefer?  Thanks for any information - appreciate it.

Is there any rhyme or reason which of the four complimentary MDR restaurants you will be assigned for traditional dining on Edge if in a concierge cabin.  Is it by cabin location?  We are on a back to back - can we have first 7 days in one restaurant and another restaurant for the second cruise?  Or if we really like the first restaurant and service can we stay there for the second week?  Please advise - thank you!  Also - must we disembark between cruises - we DO have the same cabin for both.

I read you will be assigned one of four dining rooms if not in Suite or Blu.  Can you select or is this determined for you?  Thanks!

Are there certain cabins to avoid if you do not wish to have the Magic Carpet block your view?   Which decks - If I am correct the Magic Carpet is on Starboard side so any balcony cabin on Port Side should have a clear view.  Or are there also some obstructed views to avoid on Port Side.  I thank you kindly for any information you can provide.  

Thanks for the responses - much appreciated.  I was looking at pictures of BLU posted by some online and it appears there ARE windows in the restaurant PLUS some outdoor seating.  Can anyone confirm if there are windows or not - just curious  Thank you!

Thinking of booking Aqua Class on Edge  -  any suggestion for best cabin location for Aqua - I think they are on 9 and 10  - any pros and cons about any specific location - Also, is Blu on this ship just as good as all the others.  Still can dine anytime between 5:30 and 9:00 without making reservations?  Love Blu -

keifernney - Thanks for your post and the information.  Just curious, what time were you originally scheduled to arrive at the pier in Manhattan - which day and time?  What time are you expected to arrive now due to change in schedule?  We are sailing Saturday October 19 - any advice ?  Hope you had a great cruise - anything NOT to miss - anything to skip?   Hope you have smooth sailing returning home - thanks for any info. - appreciate it.
