Yea she unfortunately moves to Europe for the summer.. I can't see that changing for a Long time. Celebrity seems to always put their newest ships in Europe for the summer.. 

All the better for me! #cruisegoals ?

Going to take this moment to post the pictures of the stateroom.

Located in the very back of deck 12 and what seemed like a long journey from the the elevators was my humble room Sky Suite 12260 (S1) for the sailing. This was an interesting setup due to the room sharing a small hallway with another room. The entrance to this hallway also had a locked door. For whatever reason never had much success using the app to unlock the hallway door.

From what I read for certain sail dates both rooms are combined to make another type of suite where both rooms can access The Retreat areas. However only the S1 room would have use of the Butler. Same time I'm not 100% sure on this.

Entering the room you get the full impact of the room.

Stepping more in towards the middle of the room you get in sight a door the leads to the bathroom and flanking it is drawers and closet space.

Moving around some more is the room...

Provided is a full length mirror, just have to move the chair out of the way and push in the desktop. Inside of the white box was a single multi Euro 220V outlet, two 110V American style outlets, and two USB ports. Also to make note the bed next to the couch also had a 110V American style outlet and I think two USB ports. The bed over by the bathroom had nothing, the phones does have a USB port that could be used for charging devices.

The three drawers on the dresser were split in half to give a total of six compartments. The white door on the dresser hides the fridge that actually keeps stuff cold. Bottle of sparkling wine was compliments of the room.

Now you don't get an aft room just for the long walks. You get the aft room for the view.

Plus in this case the ample deck space

Also requested a lounger that was bought that evening

Now for the final room, the bathroom...

20190414-20190414_130520.thumb.jpg.eb58c737ee398641f2f994dfc04f0978.jpg

If I had to guess the size of the bathroom would be almost the same as one in a Grand Suite on a Royal ship.

To the right is a small vanity area with magnifying mirror. Also has an outlet that a 110V hair dryer could be plugged in to. Also note a hair dryer is provided in the bathroom. Was in the middle drawer under the sink.

Another view of the sink and vanity area

Word of warning about the bathroom door, it is magnetic. The strength of the magnets used keeps the door firmly closed. The door will also close with some force once the magnetic pull starts.

Now for a better view of the shower/tub combo

20190414-20190414_130609.thumb.jpg.4fdc46f8bda20f4aae4844850001ba6e.jpg

See that door to the left... It hides the last feature of the room...

20190414-20190414_130633.thumb.jpg.eba6c454f61c76efb5fe2b343d5d2204.jpg

Time to open it...

20190414-20190414_130700.thumb.jpg.f733ff735802346c40da0f713294f11d.jpg

Final shot is the light switch. The bathroom has two light controls, one switch controls all the light other than one in the shower. That other switch is for the light in the shower.

20190414-20190414_130712.thumb.jpg.4ea075d816eebb6005e39a520f77e8ec.jpg

When no lights are on a very soft light can be noticed from under the sink counter area.

Subject of lights, all the lights with the exception of the bathroom could be controlled with the app. You also didn't need to be in the room to control anything. All room controls could be done anywhere as long as you were connected to the ship's wifi network. Purchase of an internet package is not required to use the apps features.

Beautiful suite.  I love it. The only thing I didn't care for was the toilet closet.  I don't know why anyone wants to put a toilet in a closet but they do it all the time !!

Really lovely.

I love a toilet inside a closet - that way someone can use the toilet while someone else is in the shower! ?

Time for a 1 am tour of Oceanview Cafe!

Oceanview Cafe has beverage stations accessible 24 hours day. Food is served starting at 6:30am and keeps going until 1am. Only time I noticed any type of shutdown of the buffet lines was during the transition between breakfast and lunch. All other times at least one area is open and offering something.

When first entering on the starboard side you'll pass by sinks for hand washing. One thing I did notice on Edge is they weren't heavily vigiliant about making sure everyone either washed their hands or used hand sanitizer. Also in this area is Scoops where you can get hand dipped ice cream, gelato (at a cost), or soft serve.

20190421-20190421_011057.thumb.jpg.333ca51bd6ffacef999bea884f4d8bfb.jpg

One inside the main area off to the left is il Secondo Bacio. This is the primary walkup bar, inside of Oceanview Cafe the roaming bar servers have access to a back bar area.

Beverage station

In the middle of Oceanview Cafe is the main buffet area.

On the far left side of this shot there are some "fresh" stations. Over here is the bakery is cooking up fresh bread and pastries all day long. In the middle is where at times wok style dishes are made to order. and then all the way on the far side is a pasta station offering up fresh tossed options. Post dinner the only open parts are the bakery, pasta station, and the service line where the green rectangle is. Bakery post dinner will have some sliced meats and cheeses, various breads, and some type of cookie. The station with the green rectangle has a salad bar on one side and cakes of some type on the other.

I'm standing on the port side now, so this will technically be a different left. That station is a grill station during lunch and dinner. During the breakfast hours that is the spot for made to order eggs.

20190421-20190421_010635.thumb.jpg.841cb4fc776abae648275966dfc464b9.jpg

Still on the port side. During breakfast this station offers typical asian breakfast items. During lunch and dinner fresh rotisserie items are carved. 

20190421-20190421_010644.thumb.jpg.7ddd4dbee4a68b3bd47abee8202d7e80.jpg

Turning around this is a good view point of some of the seating on the port side. Can also see where the pasta station is on the left.

20190421-20190421_010653.thumb.jpg.ba3da3a7e9816896474787dbd2fb301d.jpg

Going to jump back over the the starboard side as show some seating near the back, just before the area with the pizza station. During the day these massive windows allow a lot of natural light is.

20190421-20190421_010736.thumb.jpg.82b45ad32c3650cc1cd724ab0e642094.jpg

Last on the list of places for food, the pizza station. This is the other station that is open until 1am. I'm still have dreams about the dang pizza. That pizza was great starting off with hand stretched raw dough. 

20190421-20190421_010806.thumb.jpg.9aa60f33eaa7745f1a335072460dc67b.jpg

Just in case you were wondering, yes the port side entrance to Oceanview Cafe also has handwashing stations.

Kept on wondering why I had taken this picture of the light switch in the bathroom.

20190414-20190414_130712.thumb.jpg.4ea075d816eebb6005e39a520f77e8ec.jpg

Well it finally clicked... It was due to, in my opinion, logical placement of the switch inside of the bathroom. Great for consideration of others in the room at night. No more blinding light inside a stateroom at night because you can't turn off a light before entering or leaving. Other bonus, don't have to worry about someone accidentally hitting the switch and turning off the lights while you are inside.
