We were very excited to try the new Edge class ship. We found some aspects to exceed our expectations and a few to fall short. Our primary disappointment's were with the Thermal suite and the optional complimentary evening dining venues . The thermal suite area was very noisy and not relaxing at all. The climate showers are not private. Being a coed environment is not favorable.
Complimentary ...
The Edge is a beautiful ship but I find the 11 night ABC island cruise to be very disappointing for a number of reasons: first, the food in the Oceanview Cafe was substandard, there was not alot of choice and the menus for breakfast and lunch remained the same for all 12 days. Further, not once were there cuts of roast beef set out for lunch.
The 4 "free" restaurants are quite frankly, a ...
We wanted to try out the new Infinite verandas and liked this 11 day itinerary. It was a perfect fit for our grandson’s two week Spring break. The entertainment was wonderful; some of the best we have seen on a cruise ship in years. We were very disappointed in the food. As mentioned, very limited menu selections. We did two Specialty restaurants, Le Petite and Fine Cut. These were very good. ...
We went on the edge to see the new type of ship celebrity was putting out.The ship was beautiful. Everything was neat and clean. The cabins were immaculate.We enjoyed the new veranda balcony.It was nice being able to see outside without the wind and heat entering the room.We opened the balcony windows twice and decided that it was better keeping the heat and moisture out of the room.The black out ...
This is my 27th review for Cruise Critic. Unlike some reviewers that join this group just to complain about a bad experience, I have, for the past 10+ years felt obliged to write about my cruise experiences. I am a professional writer in another life which tends to make my reviews verbose, long and thorough. If you want to know simply if we liked our time on the Edge, just count the stars. If you ...
I doubt that we will ever sail in this category again. We booked while ships were sailing half empty and got a big discount thru the casino. Our go to suite ( when available) has been the Celebrity suite especially on the hump( big balcony). Somehow I thought A Royal suite would be more special. You had the tiniest balcony with two of the most uncomfortable chairs ( no lounge). And considering ...
We love the Edge class ships so the Edge was a no-brainer for us. We had never been to Cartagena, Aruba, or Curacao before so we were looking forward to dipping our toes in the waters of South America for the first time. Sailing was smooth, calm winds and sunny skies.
Cartegena was definately not fun. We did a bus tour and we stayed on the bus and observed while other passengers got off ...
We are very experienced cruisers (over 66 cruises) and while there are some ships we like and some we don't, it takes something to really impress us. The Celebrity Edge did just that. I am going to address only things about the ship. Port excursions and opinions about ports I will leave to others.
To begin, the ship itself is beautiful and functional. Plenty of gorgeous and/or interesting ...
We booked this cruise because it stopped in Antigua where my family lived in the early 1960's. This was my 8th cruise on Celebrity, but my first in 20+ years. My mother was a smoker and felt that Celebrity was anti-smoking so we migrated to other cruise lines. This was my 80th cruise overall. Both my spouse and I enjoyed the cruise and would book Celebrity again.
Fixed Dinner Sittings. There ...
We were in the Retreat with a Sky Suite. The cabin attendant and butler were outstanding. They knew our schedule and the cabin was clean and refreshed upon our return every day and night without fail. They couldn't do enough for us.
Our experience in the Luminae was terrific. The waiter, assistant and sommelier were engaging and attentive to our every needs. There was a good choice of ...
