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 food as offered in the restaurants. Each of the 4 restaurants had wonderful offerings...some of the better food we've had on any cruise.

Cabin Review

Edge Veranda Stateroom

>Infinity Veranda Cabin was great! This one happened to have the bed toward the rear, by the veranda, leaving the closet area open and easily accessible. (The room beside us had the bed up front, right next to the closet, providing more space toward the rear for entertaining, but pretty close quarters for getting to clothes.)

>Upon entering, bathroom to the right - larger than any non-suite cabins we have seen. Can easily fit 2 people in it. Large shower stall with glass doors, shampoo, conditioner, body bath lotion containers on wall. 2 hooks on wall rather than clothesline. Safety bars present. Sink about 2.5 ft long, but still with plenty of countertop - 3 shelves on either side of large mirrored wall. Hand lotion dispenser and bar soap provided. Large drawer under sink with hairdryer; shelves, as well. ~12" high foot rest shelf against back wall was helpful. Night Light beneath lowest shelf was great addition!

>Digital A/C and light control on wall by bathroom. Had all sorts of lighting configurations! Could awaken to gradual lightening in the room, turn everything on nice and bright, the sleep setting gradually lowered/shut off the lights, giving you about a minute to get safely tucked into bed! And the movie setting - never expected that one! Turned on a strip of soft lights along the ceiling and down the side of the closet - all we needed was some popcorn! This also controlled the balcony blinds. Were other regular room light controls by the desk, beds, and veranda, as well.

>While the closet was somewhat smaller than most, there is more shelf & actual good sized drawer space than usual. Seems like every nook and cranny opened into another storage area. The safe was inside the closet, atop 3 drawers, but was a bit small - no iPad storage here! Beside the dresser was the refrigerator, which the cabin steward can empty out so you can use it as you need. A phone charging/electrical station sits atop this area (There are 2 charging outlets by one side of the bed, as well). A desktop slides beneath the dresser top if you wish to use the full length mirror in the room. A button on the side of the charging station turns on the very bright light around this mirror.

>Beds were hard, but comfortable; couldn't feel the movement of the person beside you. Bedside tables provided even more shelf storage. Sofa was comfortable - probably a sofa-bed, but we didn't really look closely. The top of a round drum-looking stool came off, providing even more storage.

>The infinity veranda added about 4 feet to the length of the room. Sliding doors allowed you to close it off to use it as a true balcony. Were 2 comfortable, cushioned patio chairs and a small table, the top being a serving tray. The entire back wall of the room was a glass window. A light blocking blind came down over it. The window could be opened at increments down to halfway. Blind could be rolled down partially or fully, as well. It took about 15-20 seconds for either one to fully close/open. Controls for both were easy to use, but there is a sensor on the window support bar that will stop all activity...like a garage door sensor. (Being left handers, we would rest our right hand on the bar while looking out at the beautiful ocean view and pressing the control button beside us...and nothing would move!) The air conditioner will shut down if the balcony window is open, thus heating up the room, but we had great weather so it wasn't a problem.
