Cruising7in2017 Posted July 21, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 21, 2022 We are vacationing with our children (ages 9-12) and their grandparents on the Celebrity Edge Western Med. out of Barcelona on 8/20. We have 2 sky suites and have made reservations at Eden (adults only) and Le Petit Chef and all excursions are covered, but I still have a few outstanding questions... 1) Is the ship at at or near capacity? 2) Are people being tested on board if they look sick (my son has severe airborne allergies and always has some sort of congestion)? We are all vaccinated and boosted. 3) Has anybody traveled on X this summer to Europe with children? We only have 1 sea day, but would be nice if there were a few other children on board? 4) Has anybody eaten dinner on the magic carpet? How does it function as a venue for meals/cocktails? 5) When will butler contact about reservations, etc.? (grandparents have royal suites so want them to be on the lookout) Thank you so much in advance, Nicole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwlane Posted July 21, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 21, 2022 2) Passengers are not tested unless they present themselves as ill. 4) The only dining on Magic Carpet is Chef's Table. Otherwise it's a bar (unless tendering). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelayne Posted July 22, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 22, 2022 It is not the Butler (now called Retreat Host) who will contact the grandparents it will be a Shoreside Concierge. In our experience the contact is generally within 21-7 days of sailing. Sometimes the initial contact is by phone other times it is by email to gather info like: arrival time, requests (extra hangers, mattress topper) their choices for the 2 bottles of liquor, dining requests. The email will have a name and phone # to contact the Shoreside Concierge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnylikely Posted July 24, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Just got off Rome- Barca cruise. STUNNING ship Don't think it was anywhere near capacity (maybe 1500-2000?) Quite a few kids and lots of large groups/families from across the world I think they'll only do something if you self report Magic carpet was used as a bar but was also used as a tender boarding as a few med ports needed it. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
