Hope this is severly limited.. Retreat and Luminae areas do not have room for many extra guests! Esp if cruise is fully booked for Retreat.

Hope you have a smooth boarding day. BON VOYAGE!

Thats what I recalledl. I think it was to facilitate family travel for upper level suites.....have not heard of anyone who experienced it

Suggest you book res asap..pick times bd venues you want. Can always re arrange but advance res fill up quickly..

Sunset Verandas on E class are a good option if you cannot go for a suite..We loved it!

Def go AQ Class..BLU and very nice PG on Silhouette More nightly points and a few other perks Grab the deal

Make your nightly res asap...

love the plant photos..all looking very well cared for.. Retreat area looks very nice and the lunch menu seems fine..nice salad, shrimp cocktail and burger for dh. Is it always the same? Open on Sailaway day? Luminae is well decorated and has nice lighting, but I am concerned. We will not sit in a long row with 2 people each facing a partner.. but elbow to elbow. That's how it was in Cosmopolitan mdr on Edge... it is really one long table with orders taken in groups .Also find the banquette seats are not very comfy.. . We may have to find some dinner buddies to get a better set up. 4 seems ideal!

Yes have a great time..Those fancy drinks look awesome,!

Plenty of crisp fresh tasting veggies in the buffet. I use them in my lunch salads! Least amt of cooking best for most veggies..not potatoes.

Thank you.. can't wait Def on my list!

They made the 18% clear 2hen we pre booked spa res and pre paid with OBC. I would usually tip more at the spa and buy 1 item but now I am going to stick with what I booked. Will buy something at the perfume store if prices are okay.

Thank you. Excellent, detailed informatve run down from someone with A+ cred on Cruise Critic in our opinion......

Great review..thanks!

Thank you for being such a great guide!

Great pics.. pool area looks inviting,..how late is it open? Hoping to try it at night. Do they have a nice collection of plants on board? ..I had an informal tour on Edge from one of the garden curators...quite a treat! Ocean environment is a gardening challenge..

We have plotted an avoidance route....we have a few parties to attend in EDEN, like the Cafe for lunch and just hanging out there...Glad we are in Luminae not BLU..fewer trips needed. I liked the creative art passages on S ( ?) Class ships...very nice murals, etc with sound effects too! But easy to pas through...

Last photo.. one of our favorite spots for sailaway. Drinks from EDEN bar and nice wake views..often a nice little party develops!

It may be great art but it is also a busy passage way.. Hopefully we can still get up to EDEN by using the staircase next to BLU. I had enough trouble going through the similar space on EDGE ( Creepy forest) and this looks more daunting.. esp for folks like me with visual issues. On EDGE, the scooter folks used to race through....saw several near collisions.. This space looks wider but will AVOID if possible...

What was the cover charge amount? Is that tge cost to book the venue or another extra charge? Too pricey for us!

We went to a great restaurant there on the X excursion..but not sure if it surivived the last hurricane. it was private, clean, good food and service. Very well organized. Long ride. Glad we took the bus trip. Beach there was very windy! Not a great swimming beach...

Many of the chairs in Eden on EDGE were difficult. Once you are seated, not so easy getting up..esp for those not so limber. What looks good in design may not function well.....an important point!

They give so few veggies on the plates, hardly worth it for 2 asparagus.

Agree..the bid upgrade game is getting out of control. And now buzzers for mdrs on BEYOND. Is this Modern Luxury?

All guests deserve a proper level of service..that used to be the Celebrity mantra. The whole dining rm buzzer thing is a bad trend and it seems that upgrading guests via bids is crowding suite and aqua class dining.. We will be on board BEYOND very soon. I will do a review but it is a short cruise so maybe not the best one to judge by. I did chk our cabin no on deck 9..so far not a creaker!
