  1. I do agree wirh you about the noise. We ate early, so it was not too bad. We did find the noise from the Grand Plaza really interfered with le Petit Chef. The Grand Plaza concept is one of the reasons we did not like the Edge.
  2. We were on the Edge a few weeks ago. Went to Fine Cut twice. We shared the Tomahawk steak both times with a side of lobster and lobster raviloli. Super yum ! It was served carved with the bone on the side for show. To bad we were not at home so I could gnaw the bone 😁
  3. We were on the Edge 2 weeks ago. The brand was "Rain" in aluminium cans.
  4. Just off the Edge. We were Aqua Class, 1st time, but prefered the MDRs over Blu. We just walked up at openning time and were seated. No waiting.
  5. Just off the Edge in Fort Lauderdale. They were serving Canadian Club.
  6. The ship will want you off fast. If you are travelling back Air Canada, no use getting to airport more than 3 hours prior to flight time. They will not take your luggage until then. You will have to wait in the terminal pre-security. No lounges there. If you don't want to do an excursion check into getting a hotel room for the day. A whole lot nicer than the airport.
  7. Just finished our 1st Aqua class and E-class cruise on the Edge (3-13 Feb) and want to share a few impressions and answer some previous questions. These are my opinions only and are not intended to start discussions. We got a good deal for Aqua Class on this cruise. Having tried it, would not do it again unless the price was super great. The thermal suite is nice, but there was only so much time we could spend in sauna-like rooms before getting board with them. We did not find the heated loungers that comfortable for long periods. There is a small out door deck at the front of the ship that can only be accessed from the thermal suite, but there is no seating. The in-room amenities were not worth getting. We pre-ordered an accupressure mat and some other thing. They were delivered by our state room attendant on day 2. The mat was a foam mat covered in what looked like golf-shoe spikes. A true torture device, not sure how it was intended to be used, so it and the other things stayed in the bag. There were also 2 yoga mats, nicely rolled up in cases that took up closet space. Upon request our stateroom attendant delivered an iced bottle of bubbly. I drink pretty much anything, but this was horrid. Hope it was a better drain cleaner. Blu was nice but noisy and the windows overlooked big equipment on the deck. Don't bother with a window seat. The food was good, but I don't see the great fuss people make about it. We found the food in the other dining rooms just as good and the ambiance better. Our cabin 10251 was the best we have every had on X. Bed near the window. Well laid out, lots of storage and quiet. We loved the IV. Most things center around the Grand Plaza on decks 4 & 5. We did not like the way the noise from there intruded into the speciality restaurants. We loved the tomahawk steaks at Fine Cut and Eden was good. I wonder why there are no table linens (only fraying placemats) at the speciality restaurants though. I feel that table cloths make a meal better. The drink called Earth at Eden bar is appropriately named. Yuck! Le Petit Chef was fun and the food good. We were surprised that there were only 4 tables filled when we went. The other nights did not look busy either. We booked our speciality restaurants as soon as we got on board, lots of availability and no problems making changes. We are early diners. Oceanview cafe has scaled back the number of stations open for supper, but the choice and quality of food is very good. I am sure this has really cut down on food waste. All breads and buns are made fresh daily. Say HI to the baker, in Oceanview, as he rolls out the dough. On day 5 (of 11), they offered laundry for $49.95 a bag (30 items). Regarding the ship itself. It is very nice, but not for us. We missed sitting in the sky lounge and finding little nooks and crannies to read in. The magic carpet was very windy and there are no outdoor shaded areas. Overall the food, service and staff was very good. It was good to be back after 3 years. It was a geat vacation. We are looking forward to our next cruise on the Constellation next year.
  8. Thanks for the review. Our next cruise is on Connie in Feb next year.
  9. This is why we love Celebrity. I remember reading that a Celebrity cruise is where people get together to read 🙂. We have foubd that to be pretty accurate and just what we like. Welcome.
  10. We can't find anything that says "Order History" Found it!!! Glad the bathrooms on the ship are easier to find.
  11. Not in shopping cart. We found the speciality dining and the one shore excursion that we purchased, but not the upgrade from CALL to PALL. Glad we have the paperwork because we did the upgrade before the price increase.
  12. We are elite going on a cruise in early Feb. We upgraded our drink package from classic to premium by calling the Captain's Club. We have email confirmation and credit card payment proof. Where can we find this info in our " manage reservation" or anywhere else on the "terrific" Celebrity site?
  13. We are RVers and very aware of what can screw up sewage systems. Only 3 things should go into a toilet, and you have to be very careful about which TP is used. I don' t recommend you bring your own.
  14. Thanks for asking this question, I was wondering as well.
  15. OP here. Thank you all for your input. Never met a rib-eye or prime rib that I didn't like. No Flemings Steakhouses in Canada, sigh. Looking forward to February!
  16. Going on Edge in February. Has anyone had the tomahawk steak for 2 at the Fine Cut Steakhouse? How was it?
  17. We are doing Aqua Class for the first time on the Edge in Feb 2023. DH has been reading in another forum that people are finding Blu to be disappointing. What has been your recent exxperience at Blu on the Edge?
  18. The Celebrity site says Eden Cafe is a la carte. Does anyone have a menu/price list? Are the cinnamon buns good?
  19. Thinking of taking a 12 day cruise on Constallation inFeb 24. Does anyone one know cost of persian gardn pass (or where I can find it)?
  20. We are doing Aqua Class for the first time in Feb 2023 on the Edge. Do they serve afternoon canapes like in Concierge Class? What about lunch on embarcation day? Anything special?
  21. Hi. Can anyont tell me, other than price the difference between a prime, a deluxe or an ordinary cabin of the same type?
  22. So guest 1 pays 100%, guest 2 pays 25%, guest 3 pays 100% and guest 4 pays 25%. Would this not work out the same as getting 2 rooms with only 2 people in each room? Why would 4 people want to be in the same room if there is no monetary benefit? Am I missing something here?
  23. Am I the only one who has this question?
