Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted October 29, 2022 Author #76 Share Posted October 29, 2022 The forecast today in the Celebrity Bulletin calls for 81 degrees and rain. So, we were pleasantly surprised to see this stranger at breakfast. The seas are calm and we have a smooth ride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted October 29, 2022 Author #77 Share Posted October 29, 2022 We decided to head up to the rooftop garden while the weather was good. By the time we got there our friend the sun had left. However, there was a nice breeze and lots of seating. They even had a tai chi class. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted October 29, 2022 Author #78 Share Posted October 29, 2022 The Captain just gave his daily update from the bridge. He is so funny. He only gives the position and tempersture and a couple of jokes. He is finished in about two minutes. Today's jokes were about Curacao. One comment was that it is a very small island and he hoped he could find it by Monday. He said that the seas are as smooth as they can get. If it were any smoother it would be illegal to sail. I know they are corny jokes--but, he is so serious when he says them. Ha Ha Ha! 🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HS2BS Posted October 29, 2022 #79 Share Posted October 29, 2022 On deck 9 there is no noise from docking except the vibrations when using the thrusters(same all over the ship). This accessible cabin has its own small vestibule that is shared with a non accessible cabin, and a door that can be closed to the hallway.

We are used to the vibrations and that is one way to get me out of bed early in the morning! 🙂 Have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted October 29, 2022 Author #82 Share Posted October 29, 2022 This morning there was a "Coffee with the Captain" at Cafe al Bacio. [also senior officers] It was well attended. He answered questions and took pictures with passengers. I got one, too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted October 29, 2022 Author #83 Share Posted October 29, 2022 This is my favorite place [art installation] on the whole ship. It is a hallway on deck 5 that leads from the aft elevator to Eden. The amount of light in the hall cycles from almost dark to a little light. It bounces off the blobs on the ceiling and floor and the mirrored walls. I waited to take this picture until there was the most light. It is very other worldly. You walk around the objects to get to the other side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiller Posted October 29, 2022 #84 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Thank you for sharing your observations! Have you noticed whether Raw on 6 is open for lunch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted October 29, 2022 Author #85 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Eden is a unique location. It takes up some space on decks 4, 5, and 6. The ship holds shows/experiences in here at night and they have dinner seating. It is also the location of various important events. We wanted to book Eden for dinner, but it was sold out long before the cruise. It is a beautiful venue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had enough trouble going through the similar space on EDGE ( Creepy forest) and this looks more daunting.. esp for folks like me with visual issues. On EDGE, the scooter folks used to race through....saw several near collisions.. This space looks wider but will AVOID if possible... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the same space on the Apex is the best of the 3 much lighter, mirrored walls and white thin sculptures. The Beyond is the worst of the 3, I dreaded going through there also have some vision issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI we have an Infinite Veranda cabin on deck 7 right by the central elevators. One other thing we have kept the folding doors open all the time. No idea if they creak if you close them. Ditto. We are forward on deck 8 in the porthole balconies and love it. Pretty quiet and yes the odd creaking noise but nothing that would keep you from sleeping. That is not to say that some areas do not have issues. Our area is fine. We are, after all, in the Atlantic Ocean. We have sailed on many ships over the years and all creak somewhat. Some a little more than others and it depends on the weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different ship's in the Edge class have slightly different menus that what's served on sister ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DragonOfTheSeas Posted October 30, 2022 Author #97 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Good morning! I was happy to see my friend the sun this morning.

It had a reubin listed in the handheld sandwich category. But that could have been a daily special. I will have to check it out late and let you know.

Yes, there is a staircase next to Blu that will allow you to bypass this hallway. It leads up from the lobby in front of the Cosmopolitan and Cyrus restaurants.
