Was so excited to see a video dedicated to the fitness center, as I've really been wanting to see the Pilate machines up close and personal. So disappointed you didn't even walk over to them. It doesn't appear they have a ballet bar with springs to accompany the machines like Club Pilates does, so that's a bummer. Do you know if anyone can walk-in and use the Pilates machines? If so, I will be on them every day. I've been taking Pilates for years, so not interested in paying $125 an hour for private lessons.

Hello, thanks for the cabin tour. Which room number did you have? I have a question about the noise and music. On the Celebrity Edge class, the music is very loud everywhere. You can hear the party music and daytime entertainment 3 decks below the pool deck, even in your cabin. You can also hear the conversations and music from the restaurant terrace from 5 decks below. Can you hear music and noise from the pool or buffet restaurant (e.g. chairs being moved, footsteps, etc.)on thr balcony or in the cabin? Below your cabin on deck 5 is the terrace of a restaurant. What about the noise here (clinking cutlery, conversations, music,...)? Thanks in advance
@Elitecruisesuk

No pre-orders - based upon what they have in stock. The ruling is that 2 Rolex per day can be sold out of the shop and only one per suite. Always strictly subject to stock levels of course.
