Beautiful clean ship.

[@_MelissaS]

I enjoy your videos so much because you are both so down to earth and easy going. I love the green dress that Dee wears, it looks great!

[@SunshineJeff]

Jays lunch was amazingly beautiful! 💙

[@DepecheMatt84]

Jay singing Smorgasbord is what I do every time I hear the word Smorgasbord.

[@peteroman7042]

Board, Eat, Cruise, Repeat 😆

[@ashleys4652]

Eden is my favorite restaurant on any cruise ship! The views, the food, the service!

[@heideleskun1163]

I saw Monique Marvez on Dry Bar Comedy. She's HILARIOUS.

[@wjbwendy]

That was completely a different layout than my interior room on Ascent up on the 12th floor.

[@mercyrodriguez5780]

We did it on the inaugural, loved it everything was ready, thank you for the tour, we had one of those balconies, still not too convinced about them. We just came out of Beyond last week, it was 10 days of great cruising with Captain Kate!

[@grannyoffive1313]

Was that the April 12 sailing? That's the cruise we took as well… Great Cruise🚢

[@mercyrodriguez5780]

@@grannyoffive1313 yes, we were on the April 12th voyage.

[@commonsense246]

We'll be on this cruise in April...can't wait for our first Edge class. Thx

[@andyconway5610]

Have an 11 day booked on her for April 2026. Cannot wait

[@mgplayer2327]

one my favorite comedians

[@keithanthony9449]

Edge class ships look amazing!

[@ruthmcsweeney179]

Well done Jay! You got ‘Slainte’ spot on!!!! 🎉 I have to say, it looks like Celebrity really did Paddy’s Day well, we cruised on Royal for a Paddy’s Day 2022 but it was nothing as good at that! We might have to try Celebrity for a future Paddy’s Day ☘️ Great video as always!

[@AuthorSShaw]

Awesome ✨️👏🏾💯

[@debbiepowell8172]

Looks like a great ship. We haven’t sailed with Celebrity yet but it’s on our radar.

[@marykrieger7993]

Absolutely wonderful. We sailed on the Ascent two weeks after you, boarding on Easter Sunday with the same ports. So looking forward to your views.

[@heathahlee8619]

I want to sail on Celebrity just to eat at Eden! ❤

[@veronicamorin4443]

Loved this ship! It was great meeting you in st. Patty’s Dee !!

[@bmlaurent32137]

Love Eden. The Mulligatawny soup is my absolute favorite. I also LOVE Luigi! He was on Edge when we sailed her before the pandemic. I love the Edge class ships but hate the infinite verandahs. Been offered a complimentary interior and after seeing your cabin I just may do it. Another great video, thanks

[@jenniferneil2710]

The shower looks great

[@deborahyoung1954]

Looks exactly like the Beyond. Have a great time. We prefer the smaller ships.

[@blessednettie69]

Looks like a great ship!

[@lizdyson3627]

Just seen 3 Celebrity cruises on my travel companies website. i'm so tempted

[@drumason]

So sorry you didn't have Cruise Director Alejandro on your sailing. He was on last year's Beyond Thanksgiving cruise, and he is a kick in the pants! Almost as funny as Jay! Love your reviews, so happy to see you back on a Celebrity ship!

[@iriswagstaff]

It was great running into you at the Oceanview Cafe washing station

[@maryroberts2099]

Dee, I LOVE your top !

[@kathleenduggan9955]

Very impressive cabin.. I may have to look into Celebrity

[@andic8287]

Ohhhh Dee’s dress that she wore to dinner was SO LOVELY. mind if I ask the brand?

[@parodeejay]

Scoop, from Walmart!! :D

[@andic8287]

@@parodeejay oooh a thrifty gal! That I can appreciate!

[@anakerose]

We were on Apex and the one thing I didn't like about the room was that box where they hide the plugs. It made it impossible to use some of our plugs because the box blocked where the cord needed to go.

[@Bumblebeemagnify]

Hey Dee and Jay - just wondering why you don't upgrade your cabin to a deluxe interior (it's free with Captain's Club). My husband and I really enjoy interior cabins, but we prefer the Deluxe Interior on the Edge class of ships because of the extra space in the cabin and the different layout to the bathroom (curved shower door and toilet to the side of the shower instead of directly in front). So, I was just curious as to why you don't take advantage of the free upgrade. Thanks!

[@parodeejay]

We don’t believe that’s ever been offered as an option to us. We’ll have to look into that one!!

[@Bumblebeemagnify]

​@parodeejay We booked at Next Cruise so got the upgraded cabin. I think it doesn't happen automatically when booking on the website so it would take a call to Celebrity. I'm not sure what Travel Agents, like Dee, can do. Thanks for these videos!

[@dompel13160]

I like the video quality on your vlogs. Which camera are you using? If you don't mind me asking.

[@parodeejay]

We recently upgraded to a DJI cam. We put our tech list in the description of every video, for the curious!! :D

[@dompel13160]

Thanks for the quick response. I follow you on youtube.

[@tanya9112]

Jay you didn’t get the soup? 😂

[@katrinafarrar5816]

Can Dee do a clothing video for Caribbean cruises, pretty please? Love your videos!😊

[@sheilakimmel4768]

Where did you embark from

[@conniejohnson9005]

Looking at those chairs in Eden, this must be the ship with all the chairs for short people. Oooh. Not good for you guys.

[@ellaw424]

What port did you sail out of?

[@parodeejay]

Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale.

[@MarbleMoth]

The strangely humanoid structures look demonic.

[@mercyrodriguez5780]

Did you enjoy Monique? We loved her and we are not comedy people!

[@universalorlandochica]

Pole dancing?

[@maryroberts2099]

Or someone that’s maxed out their drink package!

[@jeffreytalbot3431]

Flag on the play. There is no way sailing inside cabin and be “Elite” members. Ain’t happening. On other hand, nice video of ship, we enjoy your videos. Peace

[@parodeejay]

We matched into Elite from our Diamond Plus status with Royal Caribbean!! :D ~Jay
