It's "Brits" not bits.

You are lucky with the weather so far on the crossing. We were on the January 13th cruise. Very windy for the first few days. Only a few hardy souls, mainly bits, trying to sunbathe.

On my cruise in January on Edge the drinks service in the Retreat lounge was pretty slow. The service on deck was patchy so I mainly went to the bar. The servers were good and friendly. The umbrellas were put up if it wasn’t windy and you asked an attendant. They are massive though and if you like the sun you need to be well away from them. We didn’t like the layout of Edge in general, missed the enclosed bars for a drink and the music and if we weren’t in a suite would have missed having a proper balcony. We liked our sky suite but we have only had veranda cabins before, so enjoyed a bigger room and bathroom. I liked Luminae but my other half, who is a fussy eater, struggled to find things to eat other than chicken or beef. The vegetarian options are not so good. We didn’t really notice the lack of a butler but never used the lounge team for anything. The head butler did introduce himself on day 1 but that was about it. We have booked Silhouette for September in a veranda cabin So back to what we know.

I just had a bid accepted for upgrade from balcony to mini-suite, cruising on 4th November for a week. Bid the minimum plus £10.00 if I remember correctly. Also tried for the previous week but this has not been accepted, we are doing a b2b but now will be moving cabin for the 2nd week.
