Sail Date: Apr 2019
Cabin: AquaClass Stateroom with Veranda

Let me start by saying: If you are not willing to accept change - the Edge is not for you. Celebrity definitely threw away the cookie cutters when they designed the Edge. We absolutely loved it and would sail her again in a millisecond. My husband, son and DIL sailed on the Edge on her Transatlantic 28 April 2019. Embarkation was amazing - from dropping off luggage at 11:30 am with porter to opening our cabin door 15 minutes later. Best embarkation we have ever experienced. My husband and I have been on 57 cruises and my son over 30.

We stayed in Aqua Class cabins and the experience was wonderful. Cabin was great, we really enjoyed the Infinite Balcony, Room Attendant amazing. Enjoyed the Thermal Suite and thoroughly enjoyed "Blu". Being a Transatlantic, on any other ship with a balcony, we would not have used it due to cooler weather. With the IB, we were able to adjust the window to correspond with the weather. We also enjoyed that it gave us more room in the cabin to get ready for dinner. The staff at "Blu" were amazing. After our first dinner, everyone knew our names, knew our wine preference and were most attentive. We also did 7 Specialty Dinners - 3 at Eden, 2 at the Steakhouse, 1 at Raw on 5, and 1 at Petite Chef. Eden dinners were wonderful, loved the Petite Chef and Raw on 5. However, our second visit to the Steakhouse was very disappointing. Steak was not good and service was spotty. We loved the entertainment at Eden. Felt that their were not enough entertainment options in the evening. We found that the Eden bar was our go to place before and after dinner. The bartenders were fantastic.

Cons: As with every cruise, nothing is perfect. The same with the Edge. They need to have one more bar option. The champagne bar was always over crowded, the martini glasses were the smallest I have ever seen. People just didn't leave the bar area so seating was very hard to get. The Casino Bar was good, however, they offered no specialty drinks. The Sunset Bar was not used most days and nights due to the weather. Too many high end stores, almost no one in them during the whole cruise. The Magic Carpet was fun but again because of weather not used very much.

Cabin A1

The cabin was designed well. The bed was very comfortable. Loved the shade on the Infinite Balcony as it blocked out the sun well which was appreciated due to the 1 hr ahead each night. The bathroom and shower was wonderful.
