What dining venues will be on Edge?

Thanks

With the exception of a main dining room, suite dining and the magic carpet I believe it's unknown. I think there are food options in the garden though.

Luminae, Blu, the MDR, dining in/on the Magic carpet and the dining venue in the Garden area all I recall hearing about. Certainly there will be more as the details are revealed.

Yes, if you look at the deck plans, the areas where the Specialty restaurants have been are all blank now. Wait and see.

I thought I remembered something in the video about movies with pairing food. I know this is going on on other Celebrity ships

Yes, thats on the roof terrace area.

Hopefully Celebrity will take this opportunity to modernise.

If I'm presented with menu options from the existing Blu, Luminae, Murano menus I'm familiar with I'd be very disappointed. So hopefully the specialty restaurants will be something completely new and Luminae will have a new menu etc.

Do we know if there is a MDR?

I don't know , but with a capacity of just under 3400 passengers; of which I estimate 400+/-will be in Blu or Luminae, there has to be a place/s to feed around 2800 passengers a served dinner. It could be there are a couple of dining rooms, pretty sure that 2800 won't want to go to the buffet for dinner;).

Do we know if there is a MDR?

I was asked to pick early, late or anytime when I booked so I can only assume there is.

Pretty sure there will be. I asked when I made my reservation and was told yes.. They still haven't fixed the invoicing saying MDR when it is really Blu/

Zi guess it's wait and see.

Does it really matter at this stage?

Richard Feins comment about the Garden restaurant in part said the best BBQ and brisket. Maybe they will have a smoker since that is the only real way to BBQ brisket..

Royal tried a ship with no MDR, and it was the Edsel of cruise ship ideas.

So I can't imagine Celebrity will go that route.

Like to see some imagination with the specialties, maybe some brand names, Ruth's Chris would be nice.

I'd rather they spend the money on the prime beef and the service staff, rather than buying a name that adds nothing. At least with Thomas Keller, Seabourn got some new recipes. Steakhouses are all about the decor, not the menu.

To be fair, Quantum class has an MDR, it's just broken up into 4 venues - it's the menu system that was changed.

No problem with what you say, I have a bigger dream more in the category of "when hell freezes over." Love to see the MDR go back to the Michel Roux era of the 90s when the service and food was better every night than the Specialties are now.

The only alternative I can imagine would be if they had several themed complimentary restaurants and rotated the passengers through them. I think Disney does something similar. However, I could only imagine the possible problems with that and the passenger demographics Celebrity has.

I read somewhere that there will be a seafood/raw bar restaurant on deck five. That was the only additional restaurant that I have seen in any of the press releases

That's also on the other ships, so wouldn't really be anything new.

If they do that we will be very happy to be in BLU. I think having some innovative ideas for the specialties is a good way to go.....looking forward to some surprises

Me too. I would hate to see a chain restaurant on a cruise ship. I have a Ruth Chris down the road. Hopefully, they will come up with a new idea. Like they did on the S class with the Lawn Club and Quisine.
