Have been on Celebrity Edge twice. The first was a 12 night trip from Barcelona to Rome in May of last year and the second was Seattle to Alaska this past June. Both times we took Retreat Suite with drinks and WiFi included. The Mediterranean trip was superb! The ship seemed to be newly renovated; the foods in Laminae were great; the entertainment each night was fantastic. The Alaska trip was not as good but still okay. The ship looked worn down a bit; it was more crowded; the entertainment programs seemed to be down-graded a bit. But overall, this is a beautiful ship with good services.

We leave this Friday for a 7 day Alaskan cruise are we’re very excited to experience this vessel! How was the weather and outdoor amenities during your travels.

It rained on us some days and on others it was very sunny. I think that's fairly common for Alaska. Grab the sunny days on the deck while you can, and when it rains, the indoor pool solarium is very nice. The Rooftop Garden is also nice, but I think for this cruise, you won't get much use out of it. But head up there if you have a sunny day as it is a great place to enjoy the views.

I’m dying to get on this ship but I’ve been hesitant due to hearing the dining room food is bad and cold? Anyone have input?

If you want to go on the ship, don't let this stop you. It's a beautiful ship. Eat at the buffet if you don't like main dining. You can get food from the live action stations that will guarantee your food is hot, like the stir fry station. I enjoyed the ship and the entertainment a lot.

Aquaclass is a very smart decision on this ship. The team @ Blu made our experience pleasant. Happy to answer questions as I just returned on Friday.

I want to know why a cruise line will build a ship for a "new generation" of cruisers when it already has established who its clientele are over many generations. And this new generation want a class of ship where the front of it is reserved for just suite passengers? Where pretty much every social space with music is tiered? And why is the design of the Solstice class intelligent enough to put the for-pay high-end specialty restaurants in relatively quiet areas but not the newer Edge class? What is this heart of the ship thing really? What I see is the central foyer, atrium, plaza, whatever you want to call it being a place where if you like all the activity and sounds, fine, but if you're dining in a for-pay area like the Grand Bistro, Raw on Five or Fine Cut Steakhouse, all that sound going on is going into your dining experience rather than something softer or no music in your experience. And why does a ship this size have no pub or anything like that. The Social Craft is a small area, nothing like O'Malley's on Princess. And where do you have some sort of choice between the music vibe and atmosphere on the ship since there is really no enclosed lounge but everything else is open? Eden, the Club and the Martini Bar really are the only interior social areas on this 140,00 ton ship. I can think of 60,000 ton ships that offer more social mingling choices of spaces. I just don''t agree with the high ratings of this class of ship. Celebrity could have done a lot better if they took out some shops and put in some quiet spaces because most of the shops aren't places where most passengers shop. They also could use quieter, more chill atmospheres and a real lounge, not a tiered one, or two, for other atmospheres for socializing. The ship just seems lacking in social areas with an abundance of specialty restaurants,. A piano bar, a pub, an indoor theater or small comedy or ensemble club or different music type of space. Something more than the usual do it in the foyer/atrium stuff. The staterooms are grey. If it were not for the velour runner and the painting, there would be next to no color in it. Must every single "modern" ship be the same taupe color? I don't know. Not impressed. Not a terrible ship by any means and it has great tech for now. But it falls short. It's missing some content and has some questionable design decisions IMO. And as far as elegance and a chic quality, it doesn't close to some of the previous ships like the Century, Galaxy and some areas of the Solstice. It's elevated mainstream vs. personal feeling or grand feeling.

I think Celebrity is trying to stay competitive with what the other cruise lines are doing. The Edge Class ship is definitely different than prior classes. I personally really like it as well as Solstice Class ships. The positive thing for you is that the older ships with the design that you like will have cheaper cruise fares. As long as refurbishment keeps going on, you can enjoy that design at a lower cost. I personally love getting a deal on the older ships, right after they come out of a refurbishment in dry dock.

I just got off Edge. Gotta agree with you. Loud music of lowest common denominator dominated. It seems the accountants had a say in the design as 'efficiencies' were obvious. The ship was crowded and there is nowhere to escape except your cabin. Food was a disappointment. The standard has dropped from my pre covid Solstice experiences. As for the blog, her standards must not have been that high.

@benjaminsmith2287 Ай бұрын

@@tezza2024 Yes, this is not a discerning experience line right now. The whole "modern" thing is not sustainable because this ship won't be modern in 2030 and beyond when something else will be considered "modern" over this series. And that leaves us with what? You can't depend on latest tech to impress people because tech ages fast (for instance, it already has USB B plugs opposed to C and who knows what the standards will be in 2030). And this idea that some people have the Solstice to go to now and the Edge are for different people doesn't take into account that the Solstice class will be transferred in time and then where do Celebrity fans go if they don't like the Edge class ships? The reason to point out some things in this class is that in the next class Celebrity at least makes another class similar to the Solstice even if it is only 2 ships and then make another Edge class of say 3 ships. I don't care if the next Edge line design gets more. I think there are people going forward with the tastes of the Solstice class that will head to Azamara or Oceania or maybe even HAL because Celebrity has changed the product away from high presentation standards and a medium level of activity with quiet spots to a higher energy, show oriented (shows are in the Club, Eden and the Theatre with too many acrobats, they're almost in every show--that'll get old if it hasn't for some of us already), a noisier product with many up-charges and even more suite separation classes for passengers not accessible to all passengers. Celebrity seems to want to be an entertainment line now and that's never been who they are. Their food is nothing like it once was as well.

recently took the Edge out of Seattle to Alaska - Acqua Class room - beautiful ship - excellent food in Blu Restaurant - service top of the line - tried 3 other main dining venues atgwo were great but Eden a major disappointment -entertainment only got a B-

I am surprised you didn't like Eden. I really enjoyed it, but I have not been to Blu. I might have to try Aqua class the next time I cruise.

I must disagree with your assessment of the Oceanview Cafe & main dining. The layout in the cafe causes lines/congestion in many areas. You spend far too long walking around trying to find a table & end up with lukewarm food. The food options while plentiful in the oceanview cafe & main dining, are mediocre @ best.
