As much as I would love to see her arriving, it just isn't worth getting in that rush hour traffic. Plus, I can't miss my morning workout. Hi MVP, I knw what you mean about traffic. The first 3 months I was in South Florida, I lived in Lantana and worked in downtown Fort Lauderdale. I had to be at work at 7am so I missed the morning traffic. Getting home in the afternoon was not fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I am retired, I do everything possible to avoid rush hour. West Boynton Beach to Port Everglades is around 45 minutes during non-rush hour. With my luck, there would be wreck and I would miss the Edge arriving. Just as soon wait and take a leisurely drive down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would be a great place, but do you think Nova will allow more than one of us (as in you plus potential others) on their property for long enough to watch the complete arrival and docking? It is also possible, I believe, to enter the port area with proper identification. How else would private parties pick up disembarking passengers? Parking is available at the midport garage, and is a short walk to T25. There looks to be an open area at the end of that roadway, where the turnaround is. Possibly a potential vantage point also. Unless, of course, it is filled with news vans and photographers. Difficult to determine at this time, but a distinct possibility, I am sure. Her arrival will be very newsworthy, at least in the FL area. Hi beachbunny6, I didn't even think about the possibility of media being set up in the Nova area and how it might effect access. When I was there the other afternoon, we parked in the lot across the road at the beach entry and walked across. The gates to the school were open. I wish I knew someone who worked there or goes to school there. Those in the building will have a terrific view, the building is about 5 stories. I have never tried to go to Port Everglades without being booked on a cruise or dropping off or picking up friends. I don't know if they would time restrict someone going to pick up passengers. There are 4 ships in the port that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MVPinBoynton Posted November 8, 2018 #5429 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I have rarely been able to get good photos of ships from inside a port area, since there are normally buildings obstructing the view. I imagine that Terminal 25 will be in the way of really good shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another option would be to have a sailaway on the forward spa veranda shown in the second picture. There were a few pics of staff and crew when EDGE sailed away...noticed right away there could never be a gen sailaway party from there...no easy access and too small a space,......The spa veranda looks like a bigger space! New ship....new traditions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be amazing views from inside and out. This ship will intrigue people in port and I suspect will sell itself to many (won't appeal to all, but many will want to see more and book it, I suspect). Love this photo! When I make it larger I can see the EDEN ramp just under my SV,...looks interesting up there..I believe you said it would be a waiting area for the EDEN Restaurant,,,Interested to hear how that will work out!

Also, I assume the news is coming from some of the 100-200 shipyard workers still onboard. I am still just being told about vibration on deck 6. BTW, I would have posted earlier/sooner, but I can’t access the Cruise Critic forums through Tapatalk through my phone since the site update. I usually have to wait until I have access to my home or work laptop. It is frustratung having to work around CC changes. I am having issues with the CC website which is making me log in every few days. I am wondering if there are any reported vibration issues with Sunset verandas deck 7..just up from EDEN ? ..

Iamthesea Posted November 9, 2018 #5450 Share Posted November 9, 2018 I am trying to do my best to keep up with this thread, but am failing terribly. Trying to wade through all the replies, quotes, photos, and especially those photos that are being copied in the replies is daunting! There use to be a way to quote without copying the photos, as well. Anyone know how to do this on this new forum set-up? I tried to quote with just one photo of BLU that I saw several pages back. It did not work. I wanted to point out/ask about the chairs shown in the photo. It's the one where a crew member is hanging light crystals on the ceiling. The chairs look like hard plastic lunch room chairs. Surely they are not the chairs that we are to sit in for dinner in BLU??? I've also wanted to see a recent photo an AQ stateroom and the IV. Have any been posted, yet? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
