vtcruising Posted July 24, 2018 #2251 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I noticed that "perceived" narrowing upward when we switched into that cabin...from the one that connects to the suite. May or may not be so... If it is larger we'll enjoy the space but think higher up is always better for views etc...we will be sort of overlooking glass top of Eden.,, Can you tell me what the orange and white things are that are sticking put on the right? You may need those eye masks because I've heard that Eden gets sinful at night! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatC Posted July 24, 2018 #2254 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Looking at the picture it could be an illusion. The upper decks have dividers that look straight, the lower decks looks "slanted out". I know on the M class the lower deck you go aft the longer the balcony is. That's why we loved decks 7 and 8 on that class. Look closely if you can and try to picture all of the dividers being "straight up and down". Maybe that is the illusion?????.. Just looked that way to me. The deck may be longer but not wider.

I know, that's what I thought at first but why would the cabins next door look as if they have the splayed end of the partition impinging on the corner of their balconies - maybe that's part of the illusion too. Celebrity people are probably reading this and laughing. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, looks like on on starboard between decks 8 & 9 and another above deck 12 on the port side. Whew! Missed those this time around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kearney Posted July 24, 2018 #2258 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I will do another round of cabins on the "Where's My Cabin" thread tonight. :D link: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2658010 Bless you ... you have the patience of a saint. Remember Chinese proverb, "If you save a life, you responsible for that life."

I am getting to know this ship pretty well! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kearney Posted July 24, 2018 #2260 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Ready to move on to the public areas! When are they going to release the official deck plans... now that they have covered up the previous one. By the way is the destination gateway... the excursion desk or something new... any thoughts? Any place for us lowly regular cabin folks to be able to look out in the front of the ship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kearney Posted July 24, 2018 #2261 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Given the definition of Apex e.g. 1) upper most point, 2) highest or culminating point... some other names for future ships in this class: Capstone, Crescendo, Crest, Crown, Peak, Pinnacle and my personal favorite Climax... Interestingly other synonyms include Summit and Zenith. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtcruising Posted July 24, 2018 #2262 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Ready to move on to the public areas! When are they going to release the official deck plans... now that they have covered up the previous one. By the way is the destination gateway... the excursion desk or something new... any thoughts? Any place for us lowly regular cabin folks to be able to look out in the front of the ship? It is the place outside of tendering area on 2. It is for everyone. "Destination Gateway is a modern, multi-purpose area that brings the destination to life. When the Magic Carpet is positioned here, Destination Gateway serves as a comfortable and welcoming environment that leads to the Edge Launches for easy and effortless transportation ashore. Destination Gateway will immerse guests in their next destination, with highlights of the port of call displayed on large LCD screens. Together, Destination Gateway, Magic Carpet, and the Edge Launches make for a seamless transition off and on the ship. When not in use for tendering ashore, Destination Gateway is a learning and activity center where destination enrichment talks, Celebrity Shore Excursion information sessions, and more are hosted."

vtcruising Posted July 25, 2018 #2268 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I love the first one because of the lighting - about the time we would be heading out for a cocktail before dinner.... and I like the last one because it really shows the various elevations and what the impact of the bump outs may or may not be. Thanks! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairsky84 Posted July 25, 2018 #2269 Share Posted July 25, 2018 That funnel and the illuminated X is one of the best, most innovative ship designs since Carnival introduced its whale tale in 1982. If Celebrity has any branding intelligence they’ll keep this design on every future ship. It could become as iconic as Carnival’s. Beautiful.
