This new ship is absolutely stunning. I love the look of the new hull, as it really stands out from the shape of the traditional hull that’s so common among cruise ships. It’s about time that someone thought OUTSDE THE BOX by reinventing the ship itself. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed my Apex cruise. I was in a suite and loved everything that came with that. The four dining rooms were nice. People can choose a table, if they wish, and have the same group and waiter throughout their cruise. We enjoyed so many. Luminae, Blu, and all 4 MDR's. Our Eden dinner was the finest dining experience I've ever enjoyed aboard a ship. Even the walking track is unique, in that it goes between two levels and meanders a bit. One thing to mention. The suites all have standard verandas, not the infinite variety. We enjoyed ours, but our daughter, travelling solo, enjoyed her Infinite Veranda.

Celebrity is my favorite cruise line, and I sailed on the Edge two years ago. After several sailings on the Solstice class ships I was disappointed. I do love the "look and feel" of the ship, but the general layout is very confusing and disorienting compared to the Solstice class. Shops and restaurants seemed randomly scattered about the ship, and some of the hallways had dead ends. The biggest disappointment though was the in cabin sofas. I had a mini suite, and the sofas are no longer long enough to lay down on, to nap or read. The only place you can lay down in your cabin is in your bed. I did love Eden!

Great video Gary. Just off the Edge in April. Agree with the “edgy” feel. Didn’t care for the IV (Infinite Véranda) but loved using the app on my iPhone for lowering the shades and turning off the lights in the room. Having four restaurants instead of one or two MDRs was great. And as you said, it felt like a semi specialty dining experience. Next up for us is the Celebrity Silhouette and next year the Infinity. Suites for us and love Luminae!

I so much agree with you, especially about the lack of lounges. This feels like an NCL freestyle ship that was Celebritized (but NCL ships have lounges). No observation lounge, no aft lounge, no Michael's Club, no lounges really (that disco area doesn't feel like a lounge and more like a "club"). I just don't want to eat constantly on a ship. I want to socialize. And I like several places where people dance to different types of music. Even that Eden area doesn't look like a lounge and they have a restaurant in it. I find little appealing about this ship.

I've been in many cruises on several lines. Celebrity Edge is very good.

First cruise ever was on Celebrity Infinity (Millennium class ship in 2010). Older ship but very nice, very fitting to the style of cruising I would want to do in the future. I don't know if I could get onboard (pun intended) on the Celebrity Edge class ships. Some features are nice and some would grate on me. The infinite balconies seem nice as a concept but don't really appeal to me. Mixed thoughts on the dining experience as my wife does not like the typical main dining experience with tons on people and a dozen people sitting at your table every night. Great review and summary though. Very honest and unbiased!

I just came off the Celebrity Equinox (after the refit) and I loved it. I don't know if I'm going to like this new ship.

Another happy subscriber here! My cousins hated Edge but loved Equinox and Reflection. If you want a big dining room, go to the older ships (which are being refurbished). I like the idea of going to a different "main" dining room every night. It's variety, and like a land-based vacation, you get to try different cuisines while on holiday. :-) Oh, and ONLY EDGE has Solo Cabins that are Outside/Infinite Veranda classes, unlike any previous Celebrity Ship.

Magic Carpet: nice name for the eyesore. At first, I thought it would be an ugly contraption. However, it seems that it has been incorporated well into the function of the ship.

Went on a 21 night cruise on the Edge and loved most of it......great service, great food ( free stuff anyway ), but even though we are 60yr olds, we felt it was geared more for older people. The entertainment was more 60's rather than 80's or 90's. As we were in port nearly every day it didn't matter too much. Eden we feel is a bit of a flop.....rarely many people there, entertainment is weird and chairs are very comfortable but not practicable, very hard to get back out of.

Traveled on the celebrity edge summer 2019 with family. I'd say they have an even mix of younger - middle-aged cruisers pertaining to the wealthier side with lots of those whom I had met or my parents had met being early retirees just travelling the world. Rooms were smaller than thought to be however they made good use of space and didn't feel claustrophobic at all. Enjoyed lounging out on the infinite veranda and am an actual fan of the design. I would say that although with quite a large a large selection at their MDR, it was quite lackluster in taste and didn't appeal much at all. My family and I ended up going to the specialty restaurants almost every night (The seafood/sushi restaurants sashimi and tower combos were amazing) or going to Blu which I actually found quite tasteful as well. Main highlights of the ship would be the spa areas with the vast amount of treatments along with varying sauna type rooms in the back, the nightlife on board was usually quite alive with many joining in on silent disco or going to the nightclub. They also hold quite a few different events with the luxury brands on board for those able to afford it. Drinks were quite bland with a lot of the bartenders seemingly still going through training and making drinks very weak. Would not recommend whatsoever to anyone with smaller children or anyone below the age of 18. They won't be able to enjoy 90% of what the cruise has to offer on their own or even with parental signed permission/consent

I didn't hear any mention of the Ensemble Lounge on the Solstice class disappearing. I'm not that interested in the restaurants. This is similar to an NCL freestyle ship now but NCL at least still includes some lounges. If you're a couple that likes to dance in various lounges on ships, or just likes the lounge life aboard ships, this isn't the class of ship for you.

I wonder if there are people who prefer the Reflection over the Edge? Or the Constellation (quite old but is it still good?) over the Beyond? I’m just trying to determine whether the newer ships are worth the extra $$.

@benjaminsmith2287

6 ай бұрын

Absolutely. And the reason is the spaces that the Edge does not have. There is no forward facing observation lounge. That's really one of the biggest complaints. Not everyone likes the Eden area or what goes on there. Not everyone prefers the placement of the Martini Bar in the Grand Plaza or its style vs. the one of the Solstice class ships. The other problem is just how much of the ship is geared to suit suite passengers and is reserved for them. The thing about the Edge is, it has a lot of dining option. But Solstice has a good amount of the same ones. I'm not even that sure that the appointments/decor is nicer in the Edge ships. It's different but both are quite nice.

We just got off this ship and it's one of the most stunning we've been on, however Celebrity has totally abandoned the concept. They seem unable to attract a younger cruiser and instead are finding more 65 years and older onboard so they've scrapped the concept and running it like a Holland America cruise with Elvis music, Buddy Holly Tribute bands, and even music on board from the 40's and 50's. It's a massive miss for one of cruising's more respected brands and the result is like watching your grandpa trying to be cool and failing miserably.

No dining room ..You can keep it...No real balconies..Ships today are all decor and bullshit less variety and quality and service and more alternative restaurants that have simple small portions of food which I hateI.It’s all about saving money having a large main dining room means they have to offer a big variety or choice and a varied menu each night.This new idea of no dining room makes it easy for them to predict what people eat and they get a small choice.I never had more than three corses on any ship I’ve traveled on,I like to know it’s available..I don’t mind a couple of alternative restaurants for a change but like my table and choice in a proper ship’s dining room.

I'm not finding this ship class to my taste. I loved the Zenith, Horizon, Galaxy especially, Century, Mercury. I didn't love the Constellation for a particular reason. I think I like the Solstice class of ships. The problem I have with this ship is I don't see lounges. I love ship lounges. I like dance floors and intimate spaces with varying types of music to enjoy. There were lots of lounges on the Horizon and Century class ships. There was one less on the Millennium class Constellation and I really missed it (the aft lounge). While the Solstice class doesn't have the aft lounge, at least the Martini bar area is nice and there were other intimate spaces to enjoy. The Edge looks almost like a free-style NCL multi-dining ship but without NCL's lounges. If they'd put in more lounges then it would have more appeal. But I guess Celebrity built the ship around the dining experience vs. the socializing in lounges experience.

Oh, those Greeks!

We just cruised with her last week. Fantastic ship, looks amazing, feels very modern. We're used to Royal Carribean, so it was really different. Few things we noticed. This is very much a sit down, eat, drink and listen to music ship. Which can be a good thing, but it was lacking a bit of activities for us. The shops are just stupid. We only visited them once, and did not buy anything. Let's be honest, how many people can afford to spend $10k+ on a watch in todays economy on top of an already expensive cruise? So changing the shops to market to the top 1% just feels a bit weird. We did not spend any money on board, normally we always do. A new tie, a bracelet, an affordable watch,... It just wasn't available. Magic carpet is only good for tenders. It was on the pool deck every day, with a seperate bar. Felt a bit 'meh' about it. The spa is fantastic. Spend a couple of hours there everyday. Great choice of saunas, steam room and the heated beds that look out to the front of the ship might just be my favorite of the whole ship. Dinning is great, but as you said in the video, not having a fixed table, with different staff everyday is different. Normally we'd have a lot of fun at dinner with a fun waiter, they know if they make your evenings great, they'll most likely get a tip at the end of the cruise. Now it felt a bit more distant. Doing their job but nothing more. Might be good for some, I didn't like it. And lastly, avoid the sunset verandas on deck 12. We were right under the outside seating area of the ocean view cafe. It is sooooo noisy. The sound of moving chairs will keep you up at night when they are cleaning, and will wake you up in the moring. We changed rooms to deck 8 after the first night and it was sooo much better. We were in a suite, but didn't really used the retreat since we were travelling with people without access. It looked nice, but was certainly busy. The solarium was a much more relaxing environement.

Took this ship on a nice cruise the first Christmas it was in operation. Would I do it again? NO... Recommended (unless you are taking kids) Do not go on this beautiful ship at Christmas or school holidays... too many rowdy, yelling children for any couple to enjoy a chill week, with good food, good gambling, nice stop-overs and great attractions. If I see one more Dennis the Menace type kid trying to rip or damage some original artwork on the walls of an elegant cruise ship like the Edge again... I'll boycott the buffet! If I want to be around kids, I'll take my grandkids on a Disney cruise. They can try to damage those ships, which have everything bolted down... Other than that, the Edge came as advertised...Beautiful!

I hope they get the air conditioning right. I was on Celebrity Equinox and the buffet restaurant had cold air blasting away. We quickly found that dining just outside the restaurant at the back more comfortable.

@@chriswilliams6568 They aren't. They're being scrapped in 25-30 years because the industry is marketing new ships all the time. The Celebrity Zenith and Horizon were both scrapped at around 30 years in service.

@@chriswilliams6568 You're right. I was thinking of a Costa ship that was scrapped after just 25 years in service and the Horizon and Zenith that were sold off but still scrapped after 30 years. I think there's value in ships like the QE2 that sailed for Cunard until retired. Even the France got sold to NCL and sailed as the Norway for a long time and it was a thing to sail on the Norway opposed to the newer ships. I think there's a different feel and ambiance to ships that everyone could enjoy and it's not always best to be on the newest ships for everyone. Sometimes I feel some cruisers just desire the newest and newer isn't always necessarily better for everyone and in some classes and cruise lines, some aspects of previous classes are dropped that people really treasured in their cruises. For Celebrity, for instance, I miss several aspects of the Century ships.

your negatives are very minor. The ship looks amazing and i'm cruising on it next sunday, i can't wait.

Has anyone taken Celebrity Edge or Soltice to the Hawaiian Islands from British Columbia in Canada? My wife and i are thinking of booking for a trip in September 2024. Thank you.

Did a 10 night south Caribbean cruise Feb 3. Wrote to head office when we got home…no acknowledgment, no comment on my letter. I would like to caution physically limited persons to triple check before signing on for excursions…the bus ride trips on the islands may not require physical effort but getting from ship to bus was almost impossible. It is not Celebrity’s first time at these ports. They need to print an accurate description of what to expect on excursions.

Do you have to make reservations for the "main" dining areas?

We were on the flexible dining option so didn't have to book, although there was sometimes a slight wait for a table.

If on select dining times, one can still make reservations.

We thought the specialty restaurant (le petit?) was very expensive considering the menu so we cancelled prior to going there because of that. $55 pey r person. Also very disappointed that no mass on Sunday or ANY sort of non denominational service was offered.

It would be nice if you would tell your viewers if you were compensated or sponsored by the cruise lines in any way.
