Rare hcat Posted December 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2018 From logo store to hi end and whatever is in between how were the stores? Anything unique? Have they eliminated lobby type sales and deck sales in favor of the stores? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtcruising Posted December 8, 2018 #2 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I only shopped in the logo store and it was very expensive. I ended up buying an Edge t-shirt for $55 to wear with my Edge hat in January. It was either that or the ship model - decided I couldn't wear that. 😉 One thing I liked was that the salespeople were not aggressive as I've seen recently on other ships (standing in the hallway and trying to lure you into their stores). In fact, I had very pleasant conversations with some of the people who were outside their stores about the ship or art on the ship. I especially liked the Cartier guy - every time he was out I stopped and chatted about the Faceless people and the ship in general. Of course, my stopping had nothing to do with him looking like Matt Damon. 😉 The Spa people were amazingly non-commercial, in my experience. They were so friendly and not pushy. I had purchased a two-day Thermal Suite pass on my first cruise and only used it for one day. When I came back for my 3rd cruise to ask if they had any 1 day passes available for the Thermal Suite, one of the people was asking about my injuries and Luke (? manager) was there - he remembered me from two cruises before and said that I could come back the next day for free, since I never used the second day on the first cruise. They were so nice there! Some stuff from the To The Edge store: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good that you can eat what you want - the food was so good on the Edge! I was very impressed. Hope it stays that high level after the execs leave.... 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted December 11, 2018 #21 Share Posted December 11, 2018 The perfume store is less than half the size of the one on S class ships. The logo store is also about half the size of the S class. There are no items for children. No souvenirs, no teddy bears no “my grandma went on the edge and all I got was this T-shirt” kinda of things. No keychains, no magnets, no Christmas ornaments.Unless there’s another store I haven’t found yet. The stores are arranged a bit differently. The Tiffany store is completely separate from all the others, so perhaps there is another store I have a contact with some lower end items.

He loves the little cruise book they sell ( sold), little ships and knows about our upcoming cruise. He usually gets a tee shirt from the ship, and a representative stuffed animal from each port. .

I forgot to say that when my DH asked about gelato, he was told that a guy would be selling it in the Grand Plaza at times from a cart. We never saw the cart, but maybe they will bring it out eventually (wihen the hippie van arrives 😉). Yes, that cart man hangs out around there - he's very friendly and harmless. I would just say hi and move along. He had some other stuff too. A lot of the time, the cart sat there without him. Nothing to see here...🙂 Edited December 12, 2018 by vtcruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
