E-X-C-I-T-E-M-E-N-T!!!!

 

IMO, initially, the most glorious view you will have is when arriving in the port and seeing The Magic Carpet, all else will be just the support to keep it going!

 

bon voyage Beth, bon voyage!

Thank you so much Bo!!!

 

Yes, the total excitement has kicked in!! I made myself stay in bed until the alarm went off, then I got a shower and then I headed for breakfast. Now I'm back in the room to try and just chill until about 9:15 when I will go down (11 floor hotel (I'm on 8), 2 elevators...just in case it takes a while) and wait for my Lyft!!

 

Cannot believe the day is finally here!!!! Time for this Disney girl to live on the EDGE!

Chill!!!

 

Ahhh, you chilled on the flight down, at the earliest! LOL

 

I understand you are not a big drinker, but once you get that champagne or mimosa in hand, drop luggage in cabin, head to see Maitre d' at Cosmopolitan next to confirm dietary requirements... head to either The Magic Carpet or Sunset Bar (wherever your RC is meeting) and wait for sail-away!!!!

 

The stress will start to melt away! If not, have another drink... LOL

Sounds awesome!

 

I'm not a huge drinker (don't like feeling drunk), but I enjoy my beverages! 🙂 Will definitely check out those venues!! I don't think we settled on a location to meet - it hasn't been a very active one, though we seem to have about 60 signed up for the Connections party (more than I think have participated in the conversation on here).

 

To discuss the possibility of dining at Eden, would I go there or would the Maitre d' at Cosmopolitan handle that?

 

Haha!! Thank you for all your tips!!

For Eden, go there.. most likely later in the day, as most kitchen staff there is prepping, but if the Chef is there, he will make note of your desires and make it happen!!!! Five (5) unforgettable, to me, courses.. including dessert.

 

The hostess, Kathleen (when I was aboard) will take good care of you.. if she remembers me, tell her 'The Vegan' from Thanksgiving sailing, Samuel says hello and Hugs!

 

She works the OVC during breakfast and lunch as well, I believe. Definitely breakfast, though.

 

Have fun! Have an OJ for us! Smile as you are creating an unforgettable memory, ahead!

 

Also, do not forget to take names along the way of those whom you found to be particularly helpful so you can mention them in the mid-sailing and end of sailing surveys...

 

bon voyage

Thank you so much!!! And will definitely mention you to Kathleen if she is aboard!

 

As to the last, that is always something I do. 🙂 Having a sister who works on DCL (she's a training officer, so she has contact with all in her areas), I know just how important it is to name those who give exceptional service! 🙂 Tips, of course, but giving those names ultimately means so much more in the long run!

First view of the ship!!

 

Sitting in the terminal still not exactly sure I am in the right place - I have been directed to about 4 locations in here. 
 

Oh well - I will be on soon enough!

I Am sure you will not let that ship sail without you aboard!!!!

 

Just as long as you are in the terminal, all will be good...

 

What are your thoughts currently? Still excited?

 

bon voyage

“Ran across the street to Publix to get 2 bottles of wine and a P3 pack for evening snack tonight.”

 

I am eagerly reading your review since I am on The Edge in 3 months and am also gluten free (Celiac).  I wondered what do you mean by a “P3 pack“ for an evening snack?


Thanks for taking the time. Any gluten free food suggestions are much appreciated.

Are you boarded yet?

Will try to catch the Sailaway on the port cams!

 

Happy Cruising!

Just seeing the picture of Edge has gotten me excited.    She is so beautiful.

I agree with Mr. Jim.  We are looking forward to being on Edge again in April.  😊

I believe this is what she means.  There are different kinds.
