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 ship. I had always wanted to sail the Celebrity Edge. She did not disappoint!

Embarkation was a smooth process. We had all of our paperwork ready and it made the process go quickly. Make sure you have everything ready (via the app) before you get in line. It really speeds things up. Our embarkation time slot was 12-12:30. We were all checked in and on the ship by 1 pm. We were told we could head straight to our room and drop off our stuff. We looked around for a few minutes on our way and all I can say is wow. Everything was beautiful, very clean, and the in great condition. These ship is a work of art and every nook and cranny is an actual piece of art. I've never experienced this on a cruise (we are platinum with Disney Cruise Line - DCL) and it was wonderful.

We made our way to the buffet, Ocean View Cafe. This is where there's a huge difference between Celebrity and Disney buffets. DCL has a limited food selection and the quality isn't that great. Food is mostly lukewarm. With Celebrity, the choices of food were overwhelming. There's a different theme for lunch every day. We chose our lunch (there's a dedicated Indian station) and sat down. The servers ask for your drink order if you want something from the bar. We tasted our food and were blown away that it was actually hot and very good. This would be consistent throughout the cruise.
