I would also have thought they would have it included on the Phone App. I forgot to ask Jim if he just received that basic list he posted, or did it have the bios as well ..those that are given horizonally on the tv screen.. Maybe LLP does not care who's on board, but we do as I pointed out in the cruise critic Q and A session Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe LLP does not care who's on board, but we do as I pointed out in the cruise critic Q and A session On each person, if you select that person it gives a nice biographical summary. I agree with you. Many of us have gotten to know staff and it is always nice to know if someone is aboard. While never 100% accurate it is better than nothing. I sat next to Kimberly (HR Director) at lunch today. She is such a nice person and always makes you feel comfortable. She ends her contract when we reach FLL and then is flying back to France to the shipyard. She is going to be opening Apex as HR Director. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_Iain Posted October 30, 2019 Author #479 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Tonight is our second Chic night. We are busy getting cleaned up and dressed. We almost always wear white dinner jackets and blow ties. I'm terrible at tying my tie so have to get Iain to come to my rescue. We are going to have to make it an early evening as we have a long day planned for tomorrow. We booked the high speed ferry to Capri on our own via Celebrity. When checking the price from Celebrity it was just a little lower than booking direct with the ferry line for the sailing we are on. Possibly Celebrity blocked many seats and only the more expensive ones were available. Link to post Share on other sites

Very quiet and I’m the only one in the lounge. Here’s the Drink Menu for Eden. How can I forget - The Library the shelves almost completely empty. At least it’s something. Some of us still love the book exchanges. Link to post Share on other sites
hcat Posted October 31, 2019 #485 Share Posted October 31, 2019 We also enjoy it as well..I believe Jim said it had more books at the beginning of the cruise..I wish they'd find a better shelf or book cart, and hope they put it around the corner in the BLU/ Tiffany shop hallway..which is a nice reading area. We think the pre-booking offer might work for us b/c the itins we want to look at won't be announced by our Nov cruise! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I wish they would offer this version on the Revolutionized ships although, in our experience, it is only offered later in the cruise so you need to be on for more than 7 days.

I had always been an avid reader but shifted to electronic books about a decade ago. Now with all my walking I have shifted to Audio Books. I really love Mystery Novels and just finished Patricia Cornwell's - 24 Scarpetta's Series. Great writer if your into Forensic type mysteries. I've finished my 3rd Jeffery Dever's novel since we left home. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

lola2013 Posted October 31, 2019 #490 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Jim, following Edge on Instagram...I see a huge first birthday celebration onboard tonight! Is it as much fun as it looks? We are 31 days from boarding...CANNOT WAIT. Your photos and narrative have me very anxious to get going! Enjoy the TA. Susan Edited October 31, 2019 by lola2013 Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_Iain Posted October 31, 2019 Author #491 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Naples - October 31 Fun day but exhausting. We took the Caprì on your own. Departed ship at 8:30 and walked a couple blocks to the Ferry Port. We took the 9:10 High Speed Ferry which takes about 50 minutes. Our guide Pepe directed us to the Funicular Lift to upper Caprì which cost 2 euros each way. Since we wanted to take the Blue Grotto Cruise He took us to where they depart. Iain and many others snoozed on the ferry. The ferry is quite large and very comfortable. Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_Iain Posted October 31, 2019 Author #492 Share Posted October 31, 2019 The Blue Grotto and full island Cruise was 18 Euros each and when we arrived at the Grotto the row boats came to our boat for the Grotto trip. It ran an additional 14 euros each. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely not disappointed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_Iain Posted October 31, 2019 Author #494 Share Posted October 31, 2019 When we arrived at Grotto, those that wished got into row boats. 3-4 per boat. You have to sit on the floor as the entrance is really low and you almost have to lay flat for a quick 5-10 seconds. The row boats paddle up to the floating cashier. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Edge take a little getting used to. There are lots of dead ends and sometimes you have to go up or down a floor to get where your going. That was my biggest pet peeve about Edge - it's not symmetrical side to side like most ships, thus the dead ends, etc. Still I liked Edge alot! Joe 1 Link to post Share on other sites
