Really loved this series, and Jay, I was in tears, as you explained the shower!

[@leighwitty8715]

Love this series! Jay, the mental picture of your first shower experience had me rolling!! 😂😂😂

[@debby6235]

I love that your content is so consistent and authentic and has been this way from the beginning of your channel. Great tips, great feel for the ships and ports and you’re both fun and would be awesome to cruise with. Congrats on the Casino wins which hopefully made that long drive a little more pleasant.

[@amandarosewarren]

Wow, the Colors of Life made me shed a few tears!

[@NauticalNurseNancy]

You definitely enjoy eating in Eden and waiting in Eden on this ship! I’m so happy you got to experience this lovely ship; hoping to sail her one day. Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@JovialSentiments]

Thank you guys!! This was so full of information. Jay you are hilarious! Cracking up at your witty and fun personality. I'm going on this cruise for 10 days next week. I am even more excited since watching this.

[@TruckingWifeTruckingLife]

So glad I found your channel! Loving your reviews. You guys just seem so authentic and fun 😊

[@stevenq99]

Definitely want to sail on the Edge after this series! Thanks for sharing.

[@Thriftymomof2boys]

I’m loving the adult arcade content it is my new favorite part of your videos

[@sandradee7871]

Celebrity Edge is my favorite ship. I love Celebrity their cruises are great and the food is delicious. Next time try a sky suite and you get the Luminae restaurant as a perk for suite guest. Fantastic experience!

[@leolataylor5767]

That seem to be a wonderful five days. I really like how that ship is built. Thanks for blogging your entire trip. It was fun watching!

[@catherinecyr8331]

We love sailing with Celebrity but have yet to try Edge. The food is always great and the choices at Ocean View Café are very good. Congrats on your wins! Keep up the great work. And yes! Yeah! For the smoke-free casino.

[@tonia.5861]

Love the Edge class ships! Glad you caught the bartender show, they were always fun! You guys look like you’re having so a good time!

[@johnmccormack4381]

I love Celebrity, I feel like I’ve just been thrown off The Edge, just like you! Wow I loved the ship and loved the Vlogs! You guys ROCK!

[@mercyrodriguez5780]

We were on Reflection last November and they had the best food at Sea. A different show every night, overall we give Celebrity the best line at sea.

[@joanbardo2756]

I love following your vlogs. It’s helpful to watch you explore the ship’s offerings so I can get a feel for the cruise culture. I also enjoy your shore excursion reviews. Thanks for all you do!

[@kellyburke2312]

Thanks for this awesome series on Celebrity cruise lines. Definitely will check out cruising with them!

[@nancywho52]

As always, WONDERFUL vlog series. Y’all are the BEST ❤️

[@shareea202]

Another great series....in the can! Thanks Jay and Dee.

[@mike44b]

8:19 Are you kidding me Jay? Again on the same cruise. Those are some massive hits.

[@KathyL4444]

Love the adult arcade! Very dangerous place to go.

[@deborahyoung1954]

Good morning! Enjoy and look forward every day to your vlogs!

[@mike44b]

I don't use the clothes lines most of the time because the lines all seem to be moldy. That bathroom looks great beside the door swing.

[@christalambe5435]

Thanks again for sharing, I’m more excited than ever to try Celebrity.

[@julierenee523]

I would think those low chairs would be hard on elderly people too. It would be difficult for me because I have had several surgeries on my knee. Looks like a nice ship though. Congrats on your wins. I never win 😛

[@yvonnekozlowski5848]

I think you were generous with the shower score because you love the ship.

[@justmee2477]

Love your vlogs. Your content is the best. Thank you so much for the heads up about the low seats on the ship. Having some mobility issues, that’s an important piece of info for me and I’m sure for others as well. So you see, something you might have thought was a little side note was key to some. 🙂

[@mommunson]

congratulations Dee on your winnings. Rock on 🤘🤘🤘🥰🤟

[@RobSojourn]

Chocolate croissant is my go-to cruise breakfast. I would be in serious trouble if i ate them regularly!

[@amandagraves5468]

Need more time? I wish I had the time you guys do on cruise’s. Your very fortunate to be able to go from one cruise to the next. I wouldn’t care if I only had 3 days on a cruise but was then jumping on another one and another one and so on! Don’t get me wrong I love you guys, but that was funny.

[@NiceAfts]

We have yet to try Celebrity so far! After seeing how great of a time you both have had, not to mention how marvelous this ship looks, we hope to book one soon! Love your content!

[@davida8052]

Good thing is you won enough in the casino for another Celebrity cruise!

[@stevenq99]

Congrats on the big wins!

[@barbarap5278]

Great vlog as always!!! Hate getting off the ship too... want the last day to last forever...

[@blessednettie69]

Great Videos!

[@AJpalma23]

Always do max spins for the machine! or pick a different machine!

The tables will fit me perfectly. I’m only 5’ 3”.

[@raceboy1971]

It was great meeting you guys on this cruise. I'm gonna start with all the pros and then tell you about the frustration we are now experiencing. We loved your Maya Chan content as it truly was an amazing place with amazing food and they were totally up front about it and letting you decide to cancel or not. The Edge is the nicest ship we have ever been on. The food was the best cruise food we've ever had. Lastly, the service was second to none. We did Le Petit and Chef for a specialty dinner and Raw on 5 and Le Grand Bistro for a specialty lunch. You absolutely must try Le Grand Bistro for lunch next time. Best meal I've ever had on a cruise ship and may be one of the best meals I've ever had. We loved it so much we booked another cruise on the cruise on the Edge in the same room. And that's where things get interesting. Again, the experience on this ship was second to none. It's off the ship that's the problem. Like I said, we booked the next cruise on the cruise. For doing this, we got an extra $200 onboard credit in addition to the best rate and were assured the best rate guarantee applied. In fact, we could have just given a $200 deposit and had up to 90 days to book the cruise and still received the additional onboard credit. But we did just book it on the ship. The rate (which anyone off the ship could have booked) included $200 in onboard credit (so a total of $400 with the addition), premium drink package, basic wi-fi and tips. The week after we get back, Celebrity has a sale. It's not a huge difference, it's about $75 less total for the both of us, but includes $400 in onboard credit, premium drinks, and premium wi-fi so that's $200 more in onboard credit (again, anyone could have booked this) and premium wi-fi so in absolute terms it's roughly $400 less. No worries, we have the price guarantee. I could have just done the onboard deposit and booked the cruise at this rate and would have got my $200 bonus credit. So Celebrity has a form you fill out for the price guarantee. It's a PDF and half the text boxes don't work. I finally give up and just transfer all their questions into an email along with screenshots of my rate for the sailing as well as what you could book the same thing in the same category for now. Should be easy right? WRONG!!!!! Get an email back after almost a week saying that's not the rate they see now. Well no #$%T, it was a sale and I emailed you during the sale. I told them in my initial email it was their current sale rate. Their response said I should call so I did and waited and hour. Tried the next day, waited an hour. I don't have time to deal with this so I wrote another email saying it's not my fault they don't seem to be able to look up their own rates and that I had attempted to call them twice with no luck so they needed to do whatever they needed to do to figure it out. Their response back was a smack in the face "CALL US" with the phone number and that was it. Tried to call today again, gave up after 40 minutes. Hell, I emailed right when I got back from our cruise they mistakenly charged us for a Red Bull in Eden when it was included in the premium drink package and I barely got a response today that they "received my email and would review it." Frankly, this is embarrassing. They do such amazing work on the ship, but any interactions you need to have with them off the ship are a nightmare. It seems they are actively trying to not honor their price guarantee. Now I have to set aside a large block of time to make sure I get this taken care of. We stopped going to Disney after 2 decades because of nonsense like this after spending well over a hundred thousand dollars with them. It's rare I complain about anything, but this is just so disappointing because the onboard experience is perfection, we gave them perfect scores on the survey and called out 8 employees by name including Riza at the gelato stand for exceptional service, and then they allow their off-ship employees to just ruin it. I try to be understanding, but this is totally unacceptable. In addition, we talked our friends into going on that next cruise with us and if it wasn't for them, I would be tempted to just let them keep my deposit out of principle and never spend how ever many hundreds of thousands my wife an I will spend over the next 2 decades with someone else. Hopefully I will get through to someone eventually who's competent who can make this right, but no matter what they took something amazing and tainted it for absolutely no reason. Sigh......

[@sandradee7871]

@Raceboy1971 I’ve found 6:00pm EST to be the best time to call, they usually pick by 10 min.

[@raceboy1971]

@@sandradee7871 Well, this has really turned into a nightmare. I am now dealing with Celebrity's executive care team after customer service was zero help. Next, my own youtube video if they don't make this right by the end of the week. This is surreal.

[@buckleupadventures2453]

You guys been doing good in the Casino hopefully I get some of your luck on my next cruise lol

[@Starbright9876]

The show is actually flair bar tending and it is a worldwide competition for bartenders.

[@leslyehowell3390]

I know how I would feel using the shower. Funny.

[@parryshduva6087]

Y’all are so adorable! Just curious I live in South Florida but I heard you say you have a long drive. Where in the states do you guys live?

[@parodeejay]

Thankee! We’re near Virginia Beach, so it’s a good 12-14 hour haul for the mid-to-south Florida ports!! :P

[@gindunsea]

I have so enjoyed this series as we’re sailing on the Edge in February. Panama Canal. 11 days. Curacao & Bonaire. Come join us! (Did I hit all your favs, Dee?)

[@denisewoods5438]

Good morning 🌄

[@staceye8211]

Did you say that specialty coffee ws not included in the classic drink package?

[@dianeallen7313]

I was going to comment on that. We were on celebrity millennium and it was included. Mochas, lattes, cappuccino, tea were included. The ones that weren't were the ones with alcohol.

[@andyd7374]

So what was the total haul out of the casino?

[@conniejohnson9393]

Way to go on the big wins Jay. Hopefully you didn't spend too much to win it and didn't put it all back in, which is what I seem to do. Great looking ship.

[@JustKayaTV]

Will you do a video letting us know if you got casino deals from you “experiment”

[@OldDonaldDuck]

Diamond Jay, have you ever considered becoming a professional gambler? You seem to have found your calling. #vegasbaby #tripledoublediamond 💎💎💎/💎💎

[@dianeallen7313]

Maybe it's a Celebrity thing regarding shower doors and chairs in common areas bc we sailed on the Millennium recently and our shower door opened into the shower and I was struggling to maneuver into it. I also noticed how low the chairs were and I thought "this cannot be good for people with bad knees." Again, I'm not a tall person but I noticed how low they were! I think you're giving wrong information about the coffee at Cafe Al Bacio... It is included in the always included classic package. The coffees with alcohol are not included. We ordered mochas at the cafe every day and weren't charged. We ordered cappuccino as our after dinner coffee in the dining room and weren't charged.

[@Dee-of-ParoDeeJay]

Interesting we were definitely charged for those coffees at Cafe Al Bacio. Also when you read the description of what is included in the classic package it does not say coffee. But it does in the Elevate package. Maybe they changed it. Huh?

[@dianeallen7313]

@@Dee-of-ParoDeeJay I'm so glad you said something! I will definitely pay attention during our next celebrity cruise!

[@daqiao]

you are correct coffee at Cafe Al Bacio is not charged for when you have the included package as long as its under 9 dollars .As is in the classic package .

[@archerychampion]

Re: the tickets you win and redeem for "schtuff" - If there's nothing you'd really want to come home with, consider giving yours to someone who "just needs a few more"! Honeymooners and first-time cruisers will appreciate that kind of a gesture!

[@travelwithus750]

Jay how do I win on slots like u? We found the buffalo slot machine in Biloxi Ms tonight but only won 270. Safe travels y’all. Oooo. Wait 25 a spin that’s y I don’t win anything. 1.20 a spin ain’t gonna cut it lol.

[@BoatBreakersNJ]

Oh man the cake and pastries are included at the coffee bar? That’s is dangerous…

[@willcooper6980]

If you two can do the casino, then I have no excuse not to try. But I'd take baby steps and not donate too much.

[@OldDonaldDuck]

Last sea day... So sad

[@OldDonaldDuck]

@parodeejay has editor Jay ever considered doing a Top 10 showers of the sea video. Or a top 10 beach video? I love watching top 10 videos on the travel channel.

[@archerychampion]

and the bottom 5. I was surprised that the Edge shower got as much as a 7.2 Is your spreadsheet public? I'd love to know the scoring system.

[@OldDonaldDuck]

Yes I agree

[@TracyBethune]

I don't like low tables my husband is 6"4 and I'm 5"9 probably too tall for that.

[@commonsense246]

I don't think it's weird at all. I've never thought any of the designers on any RCCL/Celebrity ships have actually sat in any chair. They're all worthless, tooo narrow too! Most cruisers are too wide to fit in any. Pet peeve!

[@dbertran81]

I love the truth about the shower, although pretty and modern, not functional.

[@reinventingmelissa2061]

When you finish this year of travel, you two are going to be so bored.

We just got off the APEX it’s a WOW SHIP. Check it out Thanks
