vtcruising Posted October 24, 2018 #4526 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Yay! Wish I could watch her come into port in person, but I will watch her come home from the FLL webcam and see her in person 5 days later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianTourist Posted October 24, 2018 #4527 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Hello everybody, I am looking for some advice from more experienced cruisers and would appreciate any clarification/recommendations. I really have looked elsewhere for this information, but am not clear on a few things. I am currently booked on an 11-nighter with my SO. We currently have a Standard 8:30pm dining time. We would like to try each of the MDR restaurants and likely won't visit a specialty restaurant more than once. 1) Do you think that we should switch to the more flexibile "Select Plus" option? Will we have to wait in lines and if so, approximately how long? 2) Do you think that if we keep our 8:30 time we will be able to eat at the other restaurants with ease? OR will this be a big hassle to make other arrangements? 3) If we stay with the 8:30 dining, will we miss out on all the shows and events that will be taking place at night? Thank you for any of your thoughts or opinions - we are noob cruisers having only been on a couple before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it should be ok to move, but I cannot see how this is going to work personally, but I guess with everyone moving it will be fine 3. No they have early showings of the shows for people who dine late x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachbunny6 Posted October 24, 2018 #4530 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Even with Select Dining, you can make a reservation for whichever restaurant you choose, at whatever time you want and, I believe, table size, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of today, I see that she is going to be in port from 11/19-21and 11/23-25, then one day turnaround on 11/27 and 11/29. Not showing anything into December yet, but I am sure it will show up. Sometimes the Ships' Schedules postings are a little erratic. HAL is getting their Nieuw Statendam in December, I believe, and she is not even showing up at all!

Thank you for any of your thoughts or opinions - we are noob cruisers having only been on a couple before. I think Select is best for EDGE if not in BLU ( AQ class) or Luminae ( suites). Otherwise you will have the set time in an assigned dining room and then have to try and switch out for other nights in diff venues. You can try to switch now to Select or wait list it..or try asap when you board Benefit for us on our EDGE booking was being able to pre book each of the MDRs for diff nights at our preferred times. Even if we have a short wait we have a reservation, We dine much earlier than 8:30, so I don't know about shows. You would probably go the the earlier show, not sure?? There is an EDGE dining thread.....if you post there you may get better i fo... Edited October 24, 2018 by hcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtcruising Posted October 24, 2018 #4535 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Some interesting photos: This will give you an idea of Dinner on The Edge since the MC is on16 here. The MC and a lovely Saint Nazaire sunset. This is another interesting light show - is that the Solarium dome that is red? This ship is going to be a trip!

Tony UK Posted October 24, 2018 #4537 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Love the lighting on the exterior. We have an overnight in Bermuda so hopefully we will be able to enjoy it to the full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise47 Posted October 24, 2018 #4538 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) The lettering (EDGE) would not go onto a hot funnel : but would go below the funnel area according to the photo and that is my opinion.

Rare hcat Posted October 24, 2018 #4539 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Cabins along the MC route may not love it...glad we are on the other side of the ship., Reminds me of lights on a carnival ferris wheel...but obviously not a wheel! Looks like the interior ceiling is also lit up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachbunny6 Posted October 24, 2018 #4542 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I thought those were the supports for the jogging track.... Special artwork is good, too. But I do like how the lights on the hot tubs coordinate with them. It's all good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise47 Posted October 24, 2018 #4544 Share Posted October 24, 2018 (edited) Lloyd555, that photo is not the funnel area on The Edge. That photo is either on deck 14 or deck 16. You can see that large white hot tub in the photo. Edited October 24, 2018 by cruise47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
