Beyond questions please

[39august]

Is the Eden cafe open for breakfast and lunch every day or only on sea days?  Are there both items complimentary and for sale? Is the Elite breakfast usually held in the Grand Bistro? Does Raw on Five have the chicken gyoza as on S class ships? Where is a good place to have a quiet drink before dinner about 4:30 to 5 PM? Are the shows at 7 and 9 PM or 7:30-9:30? Is MDR seating still anytime? Going to board in about 30 days.

I don’t know what you consider quiet.

 

It all depends on the passengers.    The WCB could be quiet but if there is a group of friends/family it can get loud.   There is also the noise coming up from the Martini atrium/Martini bar area.    Both places will start to get filled up for the 5pm HH.

 

Eden could be quiet but they also have activities going on and also the HH crowd.   Usually there will be a  string soloist or a duo performing.    For the most part it isn’t very noisy

 

The Sunset Bar  or the bar at the back of the buffet would also be quiet at that time.  Not too many there as it is outside,  and remote from the dining rooms unless they are eating in the buffet that night.  
 

The Club if open but there always seems to be some organized activity when it is. 
 

If in a suite the Retreat Lounge would be the best place. 
 

Happy cruising 🌊🚢🇺🇸🌅

Thanks for all the drink options info. I was concerned about noise from the Martini bar drifting up to WCB. Sounds like Eden may be our best bet.

We never found the seats anywhere in Eden to be comfortable.  They all seemed too low. Maybe too low for us older folks?  It is pretty but after two attempts we gave up.

WCB is a great spot ...you can take in all the "doings" at the Martini Bar but from a bit of a  distance.  Some very unique drinks!

 

On ASCENT, Eden Cafe was not Always open when we wanted it to be....but it's a nice place..has some seats outdoors  from what I recall.

 

Enjoy your cruise!

Eden Cafe is only open for lunch on sea days...seems like breakfast was the same but not 100% sure. Everything is free.

 

MDR has both set times & anytime. You can also request a time of your choosing on day 1.

 

WCB is a nice place for a drink but there will usually be a music group in the Martini bar at that time. Eden will be quiet...might have a quiet music group. There are some horrid chairs but a few are decent--we like the ones up a level along the front window.

There are pay items in Eden cafe but most items are free.It is open 7:30 - 9:00 for breakfast, lunch only on Seadays. Short hours so.

Get a drink at the Eden bar and sit outside it is quiet there. 

Don't know about the chicken Gyoza, but everything we had was delicious. They have a seafood tower.

Staff very friendly.

Not correct. No upcharge for anything at the Eden Cafe.

Thanks for those yummy menus. Does anyone know lunch hours?

[miched]

We were on the Beyond in Feb.

 

The Eden Cafe has added some items that are not free.   There is a Lobster Roll for $14.99 and I think a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich for $9.99, there may have been other items.   Could be wrong about the actual prices as it wasn’t anything I was really interested in, especially when it wasn’t included.    Too many other options available without paying extra.

X  announced that  some EDEN cafe items would incur an upcharge..perhaps very limited 

 

 The  included items are quite good..It can get crowded

 

  It had limited hours on ASCENT, the  curtain was often  closed ,  so we did not get there in January..

Maybe it was at Lunch , but there were upcharge items for sure. just got off last Friday.

[Bead Pirate]

There are upcharges (at lunch) for menu specific items. We are getting on Monday, and I plan to eat lunch there on Tuesday, will post my receipt for you...

[39august]

Thanks.

Quite often The Club was quiet at that time of day.  

[keesar]

On our cruise, Eden Cafe was open for breakfast on sea days from 7:30 to 9.  Eden Cafe was open daily for lunch from 11:45 to1:15.  There were 3 items that you had to pay for.  The lobster roll was one of them at $14.99.   

 

Try the Sunset Bar area for a drink.
