"We are "Elite" CCL cruisers and have cruised on all the Solstice class ships as well as on the Summit; we always book Aqua class cabins. While the ship is spectacular with terrific food, service, and style, the IV..."Read More
The reason we picked this particular cruise is that we had some points from the Casino from previous cruises which we used to pay for some of the cost, and we had heard about the new Celebrity Edge ship and wanted to try it. We went on December 29 2019 to Jan 5 2020 on an Eastern Caribbean Cruise.
We thoroughly enjoyed the Equinox on an Eastern Caribbean Cruise the previous March, so thought ...
First - we were very surprised and privileged to be on this particular trip: This was in celebration of International Women's Day and our bridge crew (as well as many department heads) were all women. They refereed to themselves as Oceans 27. Our Captain Kate McCue and her staff were always present throughout the cruise, ready for a quick discussion. Captain Kate also did a Q&A about her ...
We've just completed the second of two back to back cruises. This review should be considered as an amplification of the first review we posted. Our opinion of the ship hasn't changed.
The deck area for non-suite passengers is very overcrowded with loungers often jammed tightly uo against each other in rows of 12 or 15. I suggested in the previous review that this probably was due to the ...
We have sailed enough on Celebrity to attain "elite" status and have always enjoyed our experiences. We chose to sail "Edge" because my wife really wants the experience. We traveled with friends (another couple). BTW, Edge is really an adult only ship as there seems little to do for anyone under the age of 18.
The ship common areas are unique and well done. The stores on board are all high ...
The Edge is beautiful- VTCruising was correct! Our S-1 cabin was lovely and we had great service from a very attentive and hard working asst room steward and butler.
Luminae dining was outstanding- almost Michelin level- better than Luminae on the Reflection in 2018 and better than Crystal Serenity in 2016. Service was almost over the top.
Raw on Five (sushi) was also excellent. Grand Bistro ...
Wrote this mainly for the cabin review, see below. We were more than pleased with the Edge - great job, Celebrity!
General "stuff":
>Sinks for handwashing are present at entrances to the buffet, but many people ignore them. Hand sanitizer is available everywhere in public places...again, often ignored. Many food stations, all excellent and could eat there at any meal and have just as good ...
My wife and I have sailed on Solstice Class before and decided to see if the Edge was all that Celebrity said she was, despite a lot of negative comments / reviews by those that had sailed on her.
I like to keep things short and to the point to here goes:
PROs:
We sailed in a Sky Suite. Love our cabin with the bed facing the water. Our stateroom attendant, Benedict was fantastic. The ...
We chose this particular ship on this particular date as extended family were going and asked us to join them. We had a great time overall and are glad we went.
Embarkation was seamless and speedy, we arrived at our chosen time, flew through the process, and we were in our cabin in less than 30 minutes of drop off.
Dining was a pleasure even at the busiest times at the Oceanview Cafe, ...
I’m aboard the Edge as I write this on day 7 of a 7 day cruise. The crew is as you would expect, top notch. We have always noticed the difference in the quality and attentiveness of crews on Celebrity ships and the Edge crew are among the best. Helpful, smiling and go out of their way to please. The ship many write on Cruise Critic is beautiful, well it’s new and the paint is fresh, the carpet is ...
Ok...this will be a long review. This is not our first rodeo and with 60 cruises completed and being Elite at Celebrity and other cruise lines and being shareholders of RCL, the parent company of Celebrity we believe we know what's what. The ship looks nice on the outside and internal but its functionality is to be debated. Much wasted space. It is impossible to find a quiet place to sit in the ...
