Our friends in port corner aft 7 asked and it was delivered quickly. We asked and had one right away. It appears that they may have ordered these for this purpose because I haven't see this type on the ship (yet anyway). Our balcony looks so much better. Now for a table.... Having the coffee table will be nice. I should have time to talk with Joao today - he was just coming up to us yesterday to chat when we had to run to meet someone. The M and S Class are getting a Revolution and I think Edge will be an Evolution!! 🙂 Omg, Marilyn... this picture gives me some hope that there may be more changes to the verandah furniture! Note the Celebrity “X” on the lounger! And it's in Kelly Hoppen grey, lol. Now all they need to do is get a couple of chairs made in the same style, and a table, and all would be good! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to go back every night to find out - I'm willing to take a hit fro the team! 😉 You're the best😊 I'm encouraged by the fact that you're able to obtain cocktails when you want them. Perhaps I'll reconsider that Beverage Package😉 I'm looking forward to your assessment of the live music. I need to make our final payment later this week, so I'm quite happy to see that Celebrity has made improvements in some areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear that X has responded so well! We are in packing mode. I’m glad these changes are sounding positive. Looking forward to see you venture into Eden . I hope you have a wonderful cruise.

Freestyle Cruiser Posted January 21, 2019 #132 Share Posted January 21, 2019 VT, can you comment on the shower curtain and show the tub. Was this installed to prevent water running out of the tub ledge as you described in earlier posts last December. Does it help? Also, can you show a wide view of the balcony with the furniture chaise. You said there was plenty of room on the balcony. Could 2 loungers fit 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could put 2 loungers out there, but would need to remove the chairs. I'll get a better picture later.🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtcruising Posted January 21, 2019 Author #134 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Good news! I asked for a Caesar salad yesterday in Luminae and had it very quickly so it didn't come from the MDRs - it was no problem. I'll ask today about other everyday items. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spammie Posted January 21, 2019 #136 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I'm so sorry to ask this here but there is no way to "private message" you. We are leaving April 7th on the Edge and are staying at the Hilton Marina. Do you remember what room you were in? We booked the tower Marina WV King Suite. Thank you so much! We are in cabin 11198 and I'm loving your review! Wanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexsarasota Posted January 21, 2019 #138 Share Posted January 21, 2019 VT: I hope Celebrity gives you a commission. After reading all your comments I was able to secure a sky suite in the back of the ship (10267) AND I requested a lounger (again thank you) for the oversized balcony. We’ll be sailing on Dec. 15.

One of my favorite things to do... is get english muffin... put on cream cheese, onion and capers... go over the poached egg guy and have him put salmon poached egg and hollandaise sauce. The Cheese Cake Factory used to offer this... my favorite eggs... Benedict?? Will have to try the one you show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MVPinBoynton Posted January 21, 2019 #144 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Someone had recommended the Mexican Eggs Benedict to me also before the cruise, so I had to try them. A wonderful breakfast item indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted January 21, 2019 #145 Share Posted January 21, 2019 6 hours ago, vtcruising said: All of our bathroom stuff fit easily into the 3 huge drawers under the sink. Thanks for this tip – we hadn't even noticed the drawers! Almost all our stuff had fit on the shelves on the sides of the sink and at the make-up counter, but it was good to have the extra space for our kit bags. [We also discovered that the center drawer is where the extra TP and tissues are kept.] But another design fail: no dispenser in the toilet cubicle for plastic bags for unflushable items. We even had to ask the cabin attendant for a supply of the bags – I predict massive plumbing clogs if they make it this hard to comply 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked for a Caesar salad yesterday in Luminae and had it very quickly so it didn't come from the MDRs - it was no problem. I'll ask today about other everyday items. DW was able to get a mixed greens salad at Luminae last night with no problems. Our waitress was Angela – she looks like a very young Ingrid Bergman – and she is terrific. The sommelier (another young woman) was also very knowledgeable – suggested the Pinot Noir to go with my duck, and it was a very good pairing – and once she had poured the first glass I was constantly being refilled by her or Angela. None of the deserts appealed to me, but I noticed that one of them came with Vanilla Gelato so I asked for two scoops – again, no problem! I also got the printed Luminae menus – and this week's order – from our Butler. We will have nos. 1-7 with one change: 1 [last night] - 3 [tonight] - 2 [tomorrow] - then in order: 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are Le Petit Chef tonight - we had lunch there (Le Grand Bistro) and the sommelier said he would break out some Camus Cab tonight at LPC to sell by the glass for $10 extra/glass above the package. 😊 They changed Chic night from Mon to Tues night so hence the change in menus. See you tomorrow at the cabin crawl! Hope the S3 is working well for you!🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtcruising Posted January 21, 2019 Author #148 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Okay, CC was down again just when I could post - off to the Reckless Charms soon, but will throw out a few things.... 1) Deeva - I gave our butler a copy of what you said about Arturo and the returned jewelry, etc. It had your email on it. She will give it to his supervisor so that he gets recognition and maybe someone will email you. She thought it was very sweet of you to try to reach out to Arturo. 🙂 2) Rich - my butler will try to make sure that you have loungers on 10142 and 10150 when you arrive on Sunday. 🙂 3) 11215 is connected by a door, not an alcove. More later.. Edited January 21, 2019 by vtcruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they do that on March 24th cruise as well. After comments about Chic night in Luminae being 2nd and 5th night, I was concerned because those are the nights I booked Eden and FCSH. Changing them now would mean getting less desirable times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
