Sundae Sailer Posted November 16, 2018 #476 Share Posted November 16, 2018 VT, Yes indeedy! My friend who is a frequent traveler suggested the ABC southern cruise as one of the best for the Caribbean. It sounds like you are seconding the motion! We have only done the Reflection western Caribbean cruise before. This trip is the dangling shinny thing that we have placed at the end of our heavy work season that we focus on and gets us through the 80 hour work weeks with something to look forward to! Perhaps you will make it on this one and I can personally thank you for all the great work you put into the pics and info. If not, I will look for your December 11268 sky suite photos and dream about our cruise! Take a lot of them please!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to do the ABC cruise, but don't think I can pull it off with everything else going on next year. If things change.... Now you can say your cruise is less than a year away!

vtcruising Posted November 18, 2018 Author #479 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I finally received my last stateroom assignment for my upcoming trifecta of mini cruises. I was pleased to get an S1 on the port side midship for the United Way cruise on Nov 27 (10147). It is next to a firewall so no pole, mid elevators and hopefully between the two types of S1's will see if either of the beds face the ocean. 🙂 I ended up with a starboard IV for the first cruise so that I can try an IV cabin, be close to the MC action and enjoy the MDRs, a portside midship S1 for the second cruise to compare those sky suites with the aft S1's and enjoy a more convenient location and the third cruise with our preferred aft S1 location with huge balcony. I know this will not be the usual relaxing cruise, with having to move from cabin to cabin, but I am thrilled to be able to explore various types of cabins in different areas of the ship. It's going to be an adventure-filled 7 days! 😊 Nov 25-27: Nov 27-29: Dec 1-4: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Assuming the AC will be working quite well and the ship may be a bit cooler than some of the older ships. I want to make sure I pack accordingly for Dec 9th.

Lastdance Posted November 18, 2018 #486 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Vt...getting even more excited for you and photos of our cabin, 11268 that we share; however you are months ahead of me. I am not until the TA at the end of April. Congrats on your cabins so far, and I cannot wait for all of your pristine information about each adventure and cabin on Edge. You have so many of us excited and on edge about hearing your forthcoming descriptions! Edited November 18, 2018 by Lastdance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Nemanoxer Posted November 19, 2018 #487 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I just noticed that my stateroom 8100 is one of the largest standard rooms on Edge with 242 sq ft. All of that for me alone. I am kinda lucky, I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd love to move up to a suite for a fuuture cruise; but due to pricing we may go for a reg outdoor balc stateroom and use the savings to spend on extras..There sure are going to be alot of ways to spend on EDGE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside cabin looking forward, a bit of a tube shape as it seems. Deck 8, stateroom 8100. No balcony, I did not want to spend a grand for three nights only. I am going solo, so regarding Celebrity's poor appreciation of solo travelers I consider my deal as quite nice. Hope you guys have loads of fun spending the saved cash.

The savings plan ( ha ha) has recently come to the fore when we checked future pricing...yikes! We will already be spending quite enough on 2 booked cruises...one in AQ and the other a Sunset veranda..so we decided we need to conserve if we want a 3rd on EDGE.. no suite dreams!

I think it’s called a Panoramic Ocean View cabin. They appear quite spacious, and you’ll have a fabulous view. You could throw a party in there😉 I hope you have a wonderful time!

When I want to look at the UK site, I first try searching for it via a private (or anonymous) browser window via the browser I use least. That usually works. If I still have trouble, I clear cache & cookies on that browser, and then search again via a private browser window. I currently have the US site up on Firefox, and the UK site up in a private browser window on Safari. You should be able to do the reverse. Hope this helps.

My booking confirmation says "Deluxe Ocean View Stateroom". Picture below. It is advertised as one of the most spacious standard rooms, so I might not even have a clue yet how big it will actually feel. Mighty big, I hope . So, thank you for your good wishes . If only I had more time in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a second look at deck plan. I suspect the row of cabins just below the bridge are officers cabins... likely quick access to bridge deck. The second row of cabins not on the deck plan is the very first row.. I believe it is deck 7... I wonder if these would be for officers or perhaps special guest entertainers.... nicer cabin... but away from the passengers... more private... without sacrificing revenue from say a suite. Not sure what arrangements they make for those folks who come on board for a performance or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
