Don't think that's accurate as the Symphony Of The Seas was $1.35B and is sailing, guessing there may be a few others.  Somewhat surprising the Apex didn't cost more due to inflation but perhaps they count E-class R&D as a cost of the Edge.

 

Anyways, thanks for your review, makes me want to book a cruise.

Maybe misheard her.  Was seated right in front of her, but lots of people rambling around the area when she was speaking.

We met Putri from Bali, Indonesia and we exchanged e-mail addresses so we can stay in touch. 

There's an easy resolution here. You have provided her with your email address, so if she wants to initiate contact, you'll have her address then. No need to hunt it down.

Well…we’re motoring to St Thomas.  Should be there by 1:30 p.m.

 

I absolutely had to sleep in this a.m.  Yesterday was jam packed from start to finish.

 

Some highlights….

 

Aretha Franklin Review….excellent!  BTW, the tall beautiful woman in the background is the lead’s daughter.  The show exceeded my expectations. Back up band was just as good!

[graphicguy]

Martini Bar was rocking……

The poker gods were not with me last night.  My “all in full house” got beat by quads……QUADS!

 

OBC….all gone!

 

😭

I spot land…..

Yeah….fun, nonetheless.  It was the late cash Hold’Em game.   

 

Three outcomes that could have happened…..2 of them good for me.

 

1.  Chop the sizeable pot as there were 5 still in after the flop

2.  My opponent could have had a smaller boat

3.  My opponent had quads

 

#3 was the winner.

 

I was able to convert my OBC into cash at the Black Jack tables the previous nights, though.

 

Funny thing, up until I shoved, I was probably up $200.  C’est la Vie!

This is where I usually stroll along an open deck for a bit before heading to an appealing venue to enjoy live music while exercising my PALL😜

Glad to see you are taking it well! Lol. Enjoying your thread and pictures! 
Taking it all in as we are on the Edge B2B starting 8/28

Getting this ship into tight quarters is a marvel.  We’re sailing no more than 100 yards from shore.

 

THIS IS HOW YOU TIE DOWN A 130,000 TON SHIP!

I have sympathy for anyone who takes a beating like that.

Maybe not Helmuth...

My friends have their 62’ boat moored in that tight space and it is amazing how close they get to all of the smaller boats there. What I found amazing was how quiet the the ships are as they sail past  in the AM.

Exactly what I did.  Didn’t soothe the beat down.  But, went to bed singing BeeGees songs….and I don’t even like the BeeGees!

Is there any social distancing policy in the theatre for the show?

The shows are half full, which reflects the amount of passengers on board.  So, unless you don’t want to sit with the group you came with, it’s very easy to find a seat with no one seated on either side of you.

Are all four main dining rooms open for lunch?  Same menus in each or theme related options like at dinner?  Thanks.

Don’t know.  I eat most meals in the Luminae.  Haven’t been to any of the MDRs.  Sorry!
