Is there adequate seating if we need to wait to board? We are in a suite this time around, but I’ve read there is not a dedicated area for suite guests at this port. That doesn’t bother me, but I may need to sit down if it’s a long wait.

I have a small wristlet I plan to use.

I appreciate the creativity, but I have never minded children or teens and I’ve never seen them misbehaving on Celebrity. I’m not convinced the line would make more $$ by assigning certain ships to adults only, and I suppose that is the bottom line. I happened to walk by the kids’ club years ago and heard this exchange: Care staff: “Today we are celebrating EVERYONE’S birthday!” Small children: “YAAAAAAAY!!” It was adorable. Seeing small children being a bit dressed up for dinner always makes me smile, too.

Thank you for this report! It’s very informative and fun to read! I have a question about the wines - I don’t see the wines you mentioned on the list you posted, and additionally, aren’t those wines included in your premium package? I don’t understand the fees associated with them. Sorry for my confusion!

Yikes! Some people’s children …

Thank you! That’s sweet! We got married a little older, and we do cherish every day!

When we booked our September cruise, I was asked on the booking form if there was any special occasion we’d be celebrating. As it happens, our anniversary is on the second night of the cruise. It’s not a “milestone” anniversary- just our 14th. Looking at similar itineraries, it is likely to be chic night that evening. I’m wondering if anyone knows if we will get a special treat or something similar (I don’t expect one) to mark the occasion at Luminae or if we should book a specialty restaurant. I don’t mean to come across as feeling entitled to something extra; just wondering what to expect.

Great photos! It’s been a long time since our last cruise, but my husband had an unofficial tradition of getting a little tipsy and sentimentally purchasing some photos taken by the roaming photographer during formal night. I’m going to miss that! 🤣

Hello all. We did a suite guarantee for a September cruise on the Edge and got a MS number 6190. From what I can tell, this room adjoins with an interior room, but it looks like the two rooms are linked through a corridor and not directly next to each other? I’ve been unable to find an actual room report on our room, but I saw an online review of the interior room, and it looks like the rooms share a wall in their bathrooms, with the doors sort of kitty corner to each other in a common hallway. It doesn’t look like either room would open into each other. Has anyone stayed in a room with this configuration? If so, could you hear the goings-on in the other room? My husband is a bit worried about this, but I think the clever configuration of the rooms will minimize this. I appreciate any insight!

I am loving your reports! How did you and your mom dress for chic night? Did you get extra fancy? How were the other passengers?

Thank you for this question. I’ll be sailing (sky suite) on the Edge and sometimes the other menus appeal to me more than what is on offer in Luminae. I was also wondering about how and when to book a table elsewhere for those nights. I understand we can ask the Blu maitre d’ if we can be accommodated there.

Also: congratulations!

How are the gym facilities? Is it necessary to sign up to use equipment?

Personally, I like stepping into vacation knowing I’ve already paid as many expenses as possible, often by saving up over time.

Additionally, my vacation is most definitely “my own time.” I happen to enjoy being a little dressier on my vacations, but if I had to dress up every day for work, I might prefer to wear more relaxed clothing (within venue guidelines) on the ship. I would be doing absolutely nothing wrong, immature, or classless. IMO, of course.
