This was our first cruise on the Edge, third on Celebrity Cruise Lines and 28th overall cruises. Also we are senior citizens and were looking for something a little different. On the Edge we found it!
The ship itself is spectacular and a modern marvel. It is very advanced in every respect.
Boarding in Ft. Lauderdale was a snap and the terminal building for Celebrity was modern, clean and efficient. We took no longer than 10 minutes to board and would suggest downloading the Celebrity App and it will speed your time in boarding! As usual we were greeted as we boarded the ship with champagne. Nice touch that Celebrity has there. Since we were a bit early for arrival, our room was not ready yet and we headed for the Oceanview buffet. When entering the dining room there is a huge sink with multiple faucets for passengers to wash their hands. Since both the soap dispenser and water faucets were motion activated you never hd to touch anything except the paper towels to dry your hands. I understand the importance of washing your hands frequently while on board to stop and colds or viruses that others might have. The food in the Oceanview was good with plenty of variety. We are not fans of the main dining rooms but did try it a few nights and we're pleased. There are a number of dining rooms that all serve the same thing so every night we were directed to a different room. It can be fun going to a different room each night but I admit we did not do it. The Oceanview was fine for us.
