the pole is odd

Can you pick the dining rm we prefer? we prefer Cyprus and Tuscan..early dinner, 2 of us at a window. In the 2 larger dining rms, the long tables of 2 across from each other are quite uncomfy and like a boarding house! We got stuck first night of our first EDGE cruise but never again after that!

We usually prefer early time at Cyprus or Tuscan.. and do not care to share. We have always had luck with a water view table for 2 & sunsets on E CLASS. And the same servers. We'll hope for the best when we sail on APEX next Jan.

We love this port..esp on a non crowded day! The blues of sea and sky are perfect.! We loved going through the alleys with shops..meeting lovely people..great food and wine! Here's my fav pic of your cruise!

Hi Lois.. Nice to see you will be back on X Hope you will post your impressions. We are thinking about late 2025. I think it's the only S Class ship we never tried! Best regards Hcat

Best of luck! Cats won't let u down.. they will help you recover!

yes, correct, but for those like me with vision issues, the spiral stairs (up or down) are as perilous as the creepy forest on EDGE and its progeny.. But at least no one can race thru on their scooter!

Astoria was among our least fav ports. We were there when it first opened..with the long tender ride and the long delayed train ride..ha ha.It was one mis-step after another .Felt bad for the local promoters We did have a decent lunch at the one decent looking spot, but nothing else was open or..worthwhile. There might have been a second hand flea market..(junk). Hope it has been improved!

all great posts... Scorfman.. you are getting so much out of your tours.. Love the pics! esp Castles and flowers.. Truthfully not tempted by some of shoreside food !

Hope your dog improves..hard choices but pets are family!

We are booked in an SV middle on APEX..deck 10.. Although we have enjoyed an SV on EDGE with the the 4 mdrs it was not our first choice. AQ Class with BLU and the thermal suite was priced too high, so we had to go lower..We like the IV..nice and quiet & adds space to the cabin..no wjbd or rain out there. The SV EDGE cabin was located at the end of a nice hallway and was large (long and narrow) with a huge balc. The balc did not get much use.. there was little shade, and very noisy next door neighbors.. ran a 24/7 frat boy type party outside on their balc! We did enjoy a nice sky and sunset view. Not much soot and really no vibrations. We did hear music from EDEN , so happy we will be up on 10 next time .

Def looking forward to a report on the Embassy Suites refurb/updates. Our last stay was disappointing. It was very dingy, dusty, and dated. We switched to Wyndham in Dania after that...it was actually much worse and very pricey . Next two cruises we'll stay at Holiday Inn near the Convention Center..but hope to eventually return to ES. love ABC ports! enjoy!

loved all your pics of Rhodes. Glad the Queen is shopping well. Good for her! We think Rhodes is one of the nicest ports. Beautiful location and buildings, and it offers history, great food/ coffee, shopping .Hope to return again some day!

We have no interest in other cruise lines , esp MSC. We prefer info and pics of the X ships , food and ports! But nice of you to do a live review..They are tricky!

We enjoyed the E Class ships.. all diff accomodations and dining...Still have one more booked..APEX. They offer many choices and are state of the art.. But we are actually looking forward to Silhouette again, and will also likely book Eclipse.. Change of pace is good!
