karl_nj Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Look what arrived for me in the mail yesterday... nice that celebrity still will physically send you luggage tags upon request. Reminds me of the "old days"! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 WoW! I wish Royal still did that. I can remember getting the spiral bound travel books in the mail. I know it boils down to cost, but it was a cool part of the entire cruise experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's been a while since i've gotten anything "physical" in the mail before a cruise, since recently i've mostly been sailing on Royal. It did motivate me to start working on my packing list! I think Disney still sends the spiral book in the mail; they did at least last time I sailed that line. But with the prices they charge, I think they can afford it. I remember ~15 years ago, Cunard would send a padded "leatherette" pouch in the mail, with a spiral bound book, luggage tags, and space to store your boarding pass, etc! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I still have some of those. Oceania still does this.

Makes it feel all the more 'real', right! So jealous that you'll be on Edge. I never stop wanting to be on that ship. Quote Disney nut, cruise fiend, tech geek, condescending elitist.

Very excited about it, really enjoyed watching all of your social media coverage of the ship over the past few years! Edge reminds me a little of RCL's Anthem, which is one of my favorite ships, so i think i'm going to like Edge a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard folks say that - but so far, they've all only been on one of the two. Going to put that to the test myself soon as well. We'll be on Odyssey on Sept 5 🙂 Quote Disney nut, cruise fiend, tech geek, condescending elitist.

That is how I sort of ended up on Edge. But now I'm really happy it turned out that way. I think the Edge/Quantum comparisons really come down to Eden/Two70 and 4 little MDR's vs 1 large one. I guess i'll see if I notice any other similarities once i'm onboard. My wife and I love getting a light breakfast in Two70, so i'm really happy Edge has a similar venue. Looking forward to checking that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
