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!

Pink sand girl Love all your pics.. We have a sky suite ( i think) on side opposite of the Magic Carpet. Hope our bed faces the water view and that we have a big balcony too!

Thank you very much.. dh has shell fish allergies so this will be very helpfil. Looks like no rack of lamb...darn! They did have great soups and other choices on EDGE..

Thanks for your well written short review..Appreciate getting the thread back on track. Did anyone experience "cabin creak"?

Other threads are already discussing this issue.. includes gen ones abt the change and within the live from BEYOND threads..

Those who have used Bayonne port understand the issues. It has been improved but is what it is...Red Hook Brooklyn port area also out of main flow but we found it easier..( QM 2) Were there any other BEYOND issues to report frim the crossing? Now following 2 live from threads....

Nice pics..love your balcony..sorry chairs got wet!

Has any of the staff, officers etc addressed the " creaking" ? It must be noticeable if folks are mentioning it..

Looking forward to hearing more! Short time in Bermuda..will you just stay at the dock area? Plenty of shops and a few nice places for lunch or a drink .

BRAVO..Well done! On EDGE, Tuscan and Cyprus were our favorites! Normandie had beautiful decor..corner table was private with good service!

We want to eat there on BEYOND but not for the Le Petit Chef.. Will probably have a few lunches if we can't go for a regular dinner

Hope the seasickness abates. Try and get some fresh ginger .. Loving the review...great photos and commentary...some intetesting adventures! Will may book Connie out of Tampa..lots to enjoy in that City. Connie will be like an old friend after we have cruised on EDGE and hopefully soon on BEYOND!

On our Edge cruise those with res lined up at their set time, were checked in and quickly seated. Those without res came when they wanted, also lined up..and were checked in...but the line to be seated was much longer... some restaurants were more efficient than others... Hopefully X has this all worked out. Feedback will be helpful!

We like an earlier time..hope not a long wait and not too crowded..never had a beeper on a ship! Tried to make res at the outdoor venue and Bistro Cafe..not able to right now We did not care for EDEN menu and Fine Cut was a bit too pricey. I am sure things will work out ok once we are on board Learning so much from the live threads..thank you

Each has a few menu items exclusive to that venue unless that has now changed. The ambiance, art collections and sizes vary. Fun to try them all!

Thats what we did for EDGE..picked earliest time at the diff mdrs... 2x for ones we liked best. Worked well because we pre booked. My understanding is that the Issue NOW for those on board or already booked for early and late dining is the surprise "switch"... making res no longer available having been snapped up already. Although we have Luminae, we tried to get the outdoor grille for one night no res are available! Same for Bistro Cafe..unless you want ,Petit chef show ( no thanks) Sounds like it could be a big SNAFU ahead??

Based upon this change, I suggest folks grab mdr res if they can get them.. Lines for ad hoc dining will be winding out the door ...not exactly what many thought they signed up for!

Not a good change in our opinion...lines will be out the door! Does anyone on board now know if The Cafe Bistro still serves Rack of Lamb on Tuesdays? We missed it twIce on EDGE..hope to catch it next tume around
