YES! The infinite veranda is disappointing and a bust! A marketing gimmick promoted by poor design! The cabin is much smaller, narrower and shorter than Celebrity standard balconies on other ships. Extremely disappointing cabin: claustrophobic. I have loved Celebrity for many year until this new ship: the APEX. The infinite cabin is a marketing trick to sell claustrophobic cabins! Although The ...
We love celebrity cruises. The food is great, the service is awesome. However I am not a balcony. It is basically just a room extension with a window which is locked several times by the captain. Also when you open the window the air-conditioning goes off so the entire room gets humid even with the little doors closed. It is not the same as having a balcony at all. It does afford more privacy and ...
We have sailed Celebrity before and we do like the line. We sailed Princess, Holland of America and Norvegian, but we always return to Celebrity. We always wanted to do a transatlantic and the time was perfect coming from a few days in Barcelona. We stayed at the casa del mar near the port and this was very nice the owners are wonderful. Embarkation was smooth we booked a suite it was our first ...
We have now cruised with Celebrity 13 times...We have always enjoyed the many features of the Cruise Line. But this time, we were a bit disappointed. The Edge is a beautiful ship; however, it lacks some of the features that we find so appealing in the Solstice class ships. For example, there are few quiet areas in the ship. Nothing like the Ensemble lounge or a library area or the Sky lounge. ...
We choose this cruise for the itinerary, and wanted to do Mediterranean and Transatlantic. The itinerary fit our needs perfectly. There were 4 of us, including a 17 year old. We've cruised other lines, for a total of 17 cruises, never on Celebrity.
Embarkation was the BEST ever! We walked in the terminal, no lines, they verified our negative covid tests and we proceeded to gangway. This ...
This was back to back after visiting England, Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands. Weather was great and the shore excursions were to new and interesting places. We were spoiled by the entire crew. We had sailed with some senior officers in the past and that got us some added perks that were greatly appreciated. We participated in almost all trivia games. We booked a back to back to back ...
We hold Elite status on Celebrity so we are not new to cruising. We spent a week in England and decided to take this ship, rather than fly, back to the US. We took this same cruise a few years ago on the Eclipse. Prior to boarding the ship we had read all the published info regarding covid requirements. Per the Celebrity web site AND calls to Celebrity said that self testing for covid was ...
Friends had already booked and begged us to go. Started out badly at So Hampton. Covid protocol email from Celebrity said we needed to self test 2 days and show a picture of the negative test. Whe n we arrived we were told that a later email was sent out saying we had to show proof of a supervised test. Hundreds of very unhappy people were sent over to another room to get tested at $100 each. I ...
First and foremost our room steward was exceptional. The room was always perfect. I strongly recommend him for employee of the month. Our waiter and assistant waiter, were great. In the dining room the waiters and assistants were all working extremely hard, and providing the best they could. My concern is that the number of tables they had to tend to, caused them at times to be overwhelmed. ...
This is a long - detailed, "Log" style review. If you just want the summary, scroll on down to the bottom. I try to make my notes every day so things are fresh when written.

This was sure a whirlwind of a day! First off neither my wife nor I slept well, and I think for my part it was the concern that, despite ...
