This was my first Celebrity (X) Cruise. I usually travel on misc. luxury lines, either with DH, solo, or with friends. But I had heard good things about the suite/Retreat option on X, and also that masks are not required on board for pax (other than unvaccinated children), which appealed to me. So to explore options, I booked a short solo scouting recon cruise in a Sky Suite on the Edge on a ...
If you want upscale service with a smile from the best staff and the best food at sea look no further than the Celebrity Edge. My wife and I have cruised many times on the following lines Carnival, Princess, NCL, Holland America, Royal Caribbean and Celebrity is the best. My wife and I are hard to please and we had no complaints. We originally booked a Sky Suite Aft 45 days prior to sailing but ...
Pre-Cruise: Following five cruise cancellations during Covid, it was great to be cruising again! Following a 7-hour drive from North Florida, we stayed at the Courtyard in Dania Beach ($269/night). The hotel was clean and well maintained and was very convenient to the airport and cruise port (5 minutes). However, we found the hotel to be very noisy due to the proximity to the airport runways, ...
We've been trying to sail Celebrity for the past 1.5 years only to have all of our sailings cancelled. When cruising finally did resume, we used our future cruise credit from all our cancelled cruises to book a cruise over our anniversary. We've previously sailed the same itinerary (Nassau, St. Thomas, and St. Maarten), so we were not really interested in the ports, but more interested in the ...
My husband and I booked this cruise because it was a fully vaccinated cruise with reduced capacity and a promise to provide a PCR COVID test at the end of the cruise.
Yes overall the ship’s capacity was reduced but not in Aqua class, it was at 100% capacity. As a result the Blu restaurant was full every night with no social distancing. I did speak to the maître d he tried to give us a table ...
This was a get-back into cruising shape cruise to celebrate my spouse's very big birthday. Celebrity has lead the way for Caribbean cruising out of Fort Lauderdale, so after watching several months of trouble-free cruises complete their trips, we chose the Edge.
The Edge has its' own terminal (25) that offers you a preview of what you'll find onboard with its' contemporary architecture and ...
We had cancelled 4 cruises because of the pandemic and finally had to use insurance we had paid for. So we booked a back to back on the Edge.
We had a Spa Suite enabling us to eat at Luminae (the private dining room for suites), lounge by the reserved pool and use the private lounge. It was a beautiful 2 weeks weather wise and there was not one case of Covid on the ship. There were a couple of ...
We wanted to try a sky suite so we picked Edge as we got a good price. We loved the room, location was great. Bedding was very comfortable. Our Room Stewart was great, anything we needed he assisted! Our room was always spotless! We are now hooked and booked 4 more. We loved the beautiful Retreat lounge. We utilized it many times. The crew on the entire ship was amazing. Such a happy bunch. We ate ...
I sailed on the Celebrity Edge in a balcony Aqua Class room on October 2, 2021. This was my first cruise alone, although it was not my first cruise. Due to Covid, my husband and friends did not want to and/or couldn't sail with me. So, I took a deep breath and went for it. Am I glad that I did! I upgraded to the Premium drink package, and purchased three shore excursions through the ...
This is a long, log-style review of the Celebrity Edge sailing of 10-2-21. For the summary just scroll to the bottom.
We left our home in Stuart at about 9:00 for our 11:30-12:00 noon embarkation appointment. We had a leisurely drive down I-95 to Dania Beach where we parked at Park by the Ports, arriving at about 10:45. The car was parked, luggage loaded into the van, unloaded at the ...
