The Edge class does have a small menu at the Retreat sundeck.

The little cafe, right near Eden, has amazing lunches.. Went there nearly everyday for lunch! Check it out! and the cookies are awesome!

Question about Luminae seating. Do they have table for 2s by the window on the Edge like they have on S class ships? My DW and I really enjoy them. 

Ken, we came for lunch.  Here are pictures from the entrance area seating to the back along the window. Hope this helps.

Anyone have any Celebrity Today’s to post…I’m curious about the activity schedule..

Perfect! There are definitely tables for 2 by the window. Yay!!!

Actually, those tables look pretty close together.🤔

Have they mentioned if the Luggage Valet program is back?

We got to Luminae just in time. However, they kept letting guests dine. The menu was pretty simple for them to execute on, so I don’t think it was a big issue to manage through. Also, occupancy is 40%.

Good to hear, I was hoping they would be a bit lenient since boarding has to be more stretched out

Yes, the Chocolate Chip cookies are amazing. Did you try out the brownies? You can't get those cookies or brownies anywhere else on the ship!

I was wondering if anyone currently  onboard has any info on booking the alternative restaurants.   Were reservations available?   Easy to get?  We sail this Saturday

We found that cafe on the last day of our Edge cruise.  Doh!

Your welcome.  I haven’t posted in years, but thought I would for this one.  I’m learning from the questions too.  Chef’s Table tonight with wine pairing, beyond stoked for this experience!

I am VERY excited to hear about this!

Did you book before sailing (I haven't seen it offered online for ours) or right when you got on?

"Have a magical day"...you sound like a Disney Cast Member 😉

That was my very first thought too! 
 

My daughter was a CM so we heard that a lot!

Thanks! I was just wondering because the pictures I saw online really weren’t giving me a warm fuzzy there were. No big deal. We’ll just be glad to start cruising again when it’s our turn on Aug 7th. Have fun!!!😎

Ken we will be onboard August 7th as well.

Moved our October sailing up to the August one.

Beyond thrilled!

Hi there, I read through some of these posts, regarding how they got around asking for the vaccine card in Florida,  however all I read is "no one cares", "no one cares", "no one cares",  or the majority have been vaccinated because of the age of the cruisers,  LOL, does that mean they did not ask you at the port?  You only got a call one week ahead of time asking if you were vaccinated?  When exactly did you show the card or did you not have to?  Thanks

When I moved my sailing up to August this morning I was asked if I was fully vaccinated and would I be willing to show my vaccine document upon checking in at embarkation.

YES…and ….YES.

Thank you SO much for posting this! I am living vicariously through you. It will tide my over until February and I can finally step on board the APEX. Woot!  💚

This was already addressed:

Yes. We were asked via a phone call before so they had a head count for the 5%.  They took a picture of each vaccination card and loaded it to your profile. Emails said they would review them. I also think they are available for foreign countries review for access. 

[wrk2cruise]

People have posted on multiple threads the people volunteered their cards at the port and they scanned them with an iPad like device.

 

I believe nobody is talking about vaccinated/unvaccinated as they believe the protocols put in place by Celebrity have resulted in the advertised 95% minimum vaccinated passengers.

Captain just announced all 4 major networks are going live beginning at 7AM EST or 6AM ship time on deck 14.  Encouraged everyone to get up and say hello 👋!

 

since members of the media are onboard the ship, is the regular food better than usual?

(ie: buffet, and the 4 mdrs)

For people on board, how is the surf wifi holding up? I know the reviews for the Millennium for the surf internet were not great and I’m curious to see if that holds up for a newer ship. 

 

has the Millennium been Revolutionized yet?

 

also, when were the reviews? this month (jun 2021)? 

ie: they are currently sailing with passengers from a port overseas?

Yes, it has been revolutionized.

 

The reviews were from the past few sailings out of St Maarten. 

[AbbyCruiser45]

Here's a question: what food options are available around 11AM? 

 

I'm on the July 17th sailing and we have a 3.5 hour excursion with no lunch that leaves at 11:30. Since there is no lunch on the excursion, we want to grab a quick bite around 11AM. I looked on the app and it looks like that is a lull time. (Spa cafe closes at 10, Oceanview 10, Eden cafe 10 also, Mast Grill doesn't open until 11:30). Am I missing something? Or, will the buffet still have some food out? I know Cafe al Bacio will be open, but they just have sweets, right?

oh that sucks.

do you know how was the streaming internet? (i think Elites get 60min and the higher casino tier levels get unlimited streaming internet.)

My parents were on the ship and had the streaming. My mom said it was great was was readily able to send me pictures and videos.
