Rare Dr. Cocktail Posted January 11, 2019 #26 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I am finding this thread very interesting .... I am returning to Celebrity after a five year absence because of the introduction of the new "Suite Class" and frankly, didn't really care one way or another about the new colour schemes. Until I got off Viking Sun last week. It was like sailing in the World's Largest Pottery Barn. While it looks fab in all of the photos, the greys, taupes, bleached wood and light blues totally got to us (and not in a good way!) by the end of the cruise. There's just no "energy" to the environment. Suddenly I now care about the Kelly Hoppen designs! ps .... does anyone know if by now she's ever actually been on a cruise yet?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many cabins are being added (especially to blu), what public spaces are being added/removed? Do non suite guests get Michael's club back? S-class...what do the new 1A cabins with the current larger slant balconies (our current preferred cabins) become? If a deck 12 suite area is created, how will it impact the deck 11 A1's (M-class)...and are the getting a private pool? I just don't have even a reasonable feel for what I am actually booking as a non-suite passenger. We are booked on the Millenium post conversion, but it's fully refundable so we'll see what happens. I know celebrity is focused on suite passengers, but if I'm willng to pay what Celebrity is asking for a suite, I can pretty much assure you it won't be on Celebrity. We are just frequent feeling unloved 1A (s-class)/C2 or A1 (m-class) passengers The 2nd post on the following thread has some pics of deckplans. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2617998-edgerevolutionized-ships-hmmm/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death knell for aqua for us...there was a wait for blu before...more cabins makes it worse. Also time to avoid m class in cold areas....less indoor space which was already crowded. I think we’ll be ok with c2 during nice warmer cruises. No way to judge ocean view cafe. Edited January 12, 2019 by ghstudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past year I've had a couple of our houses remodeled and the color pallet is very similar. I defiantly like the look as opposed to the old dark wood and maroon. Especially the Retreat vs Michael's Club and Rendezvous Lounge. They look so much bright and cheery. I agree, I actually love the look of the new Edge cabins, just not a fan of the non balcony balconies. Looking forward to getting back on the modernized M class ships. Of course, my house is pretty much all white with various shades of grey & pale wood so I guess I'm biased. :) PS: I was never a fan of the S class cabins color schemes.

Rina155 Posted January 12, 2019 #31 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I personally, and this is my own opinion, really like the classy look of the muted color scheme. I will be on the Millie in April and am quite excited to see the updates! Thank you for posting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We loved the look and feel of Viking Sun, and most criticisms of Edge seem to attack that design ethos as well, but you are right: Viking Sun has a very luxurious feel in every texture, every sight line, every detail – which the pictures of Edge do not have.

I just meant the decor itself. It just looks so plain. Maybe in person it feels higher end and the pictures don't do it justice. The bathroom definitely looks higher end.

Oville Posted January 12, 2019 #44 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Ha, ha. Enough said about Viking, though those heated bathroom floors are really nice. This is after all a Celebrity thread. Let’s just see what the Millie looks like in a month from now until we all make judgements. I’m sure pix will be coming in at that time and we can all start disagreeing again.😉 Katie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suite Susie Posted January 12, 2019 #48 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I really like the new décor, but am worried how far they will go with the Revolution. We love Murano and would hate to see that change - normally eat their 5 or 6 times during our cruises. We're holding back our booking for 2021 until we see what they have done. We certainly will not be sailing on the Edge class ships as the Balconies in the Suites look most disappointing, but love the style and look of the rooms. Will be very interesting when they unveil what they have done on the new makeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our plans though 2021, just so happen to be in align with the older fleet, prior to the Revolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
