Celebrity Edge : What's Good and Bad About This Cruise Ship?

[@saultdan]

I spent a week on the Mediterranean on the Edge. It was marvelous. Some people are so negative and picky about the smallest things that nothing will please them. This is an excellent cruise ship. Highly recommended!

[@tinab3627]

I agree. Some people should not travel & just stay home. I’m sure their homes are perfect 🙄

[@Axelfl6161]

Got to agree a lot of these videos are nitpicking

[@garythecyclingnerd6219]

I thought the magic carpet was going to be a gimmick but it was actually pretty great. My biggest complaint is that you can’t watch the front of the ship from the top deck unless you’re in retreat class, which to me, is a big deal - and will keep me off Apex class

[@jimbellomo]

You neglected two HUGE things that us old-line Celebrity cruisers (20+ cruises) HATE! No small lounges and no forward facing space open to all. Both of those mean I will never sail on an Edge glass ship. That and the incorrectly named Infinite Verandah. It’s an outside cabin with a window that opens.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

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.

[@mudman6156]

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!!!

[@howardhdavidson]

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.

[@johnbell5295]

Gary, always enjoy your videos. Having travelled on Celebrity before and two cruises on the Edge I would say you have pretty much nailed this one. Two comments. The Eden experience is a blast, a great experience. One thing that really impressed me is their innovative cross infection controls. Hand washing facilities outside restaurants and automatic doors on the public rest rooms. For those who have a love of theatre and or appreciate technology I would highly recommend a tour back stage of the theatre. Great review.

[@tipsfortravellers]

Thanks for watching. Great to hear you found it on the nose! Love the idea of the behind scenes tour.

[@bwsmithmfp]

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.

[@DDRWakaLaka]

also we just got back from an alaska trip on the volendam with HAL, we had a great time and your tips were super useful :)

[@GeoffKleinman]

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.

We have been on The Edge and it is amazing. Cruise ship lines need to up their game. Celebrity has gone above. Love love love this ship. 🚢❤️🚢❤️🚢❤️

[@jmm2511]

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

[@benjaminsmith2287]

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.

[@chickenchokercharlie3161]

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!

[@yuvgotubekidding]

There are some major changes here. Especially the overall decor. Pretty smart for Celebrity to do this. This will keep the interest of seasoned cruisers. You know the type, seen it all, done it all. Now there's something new.

[@Steve_in_NJ]

Edge is catering to younger cruisers too. The hip, contemporary design (plus the Eden area) are driving away the old farts and that could be a good thing.

[@PsychGirlRaven]

Steven S not an old fart, but I’m not sure what I think about all this. I’m more of a seen it all done it all Cruiser, just saw it and did it young. Doubt celebrity is chasing away “ old farts” as that’s where the money is. Retired folks simply cruise more than those still working.

[@chriswilliams6568]

Steven S you will age too one day, same as all of us. The alternative is not good. There are other cruise lines for younger folk if you just hate to be around more mature folk. Why is it that young people ignore older folks, they just look right thru us, as if we don’t exist. We are the same as you, just with more experience and have had time to become more educated.

[@benjaminsmith2287]

It just looks "trendy" to me. I prefer the retro-modern look as it is more timeless and you can do more with it. The colors here are soft and muted, not warm and vibrant. It's fine. I do feel in a few years that the color scheme will be changed.

[@Bosko57]

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!

[@AnthonyHarris-fe6zo]

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!

The interiors look beautiful, but I disagree regarding the exterior of the ship: to my eye, it's ugly. Disjointed. Asymmetrical. No flowing lines.

It definitely is not to everyones taste!

[@howardhdavidson]

52 different restaurants fifty bars not one little cigar room for a cigar smoker who doesn’t drink In a ship that size and no formal dining room.What they don’t mention is that you have to decide where you wish to eat before the cruise well how do you know what you may fancy,if you like one particular restaurant and wish to go back to it you will find it’s booked or your on a wait list.if on a 14 day cruise how can you plan in advance what style of food you might fancy months or weeks before the cruise.I have done over 80 cruises and will not go back on Silversea or travel on any ship that has this arrangement.It’s fine for young people who have the money and don’t know any different and don’t mind being given the runaround.

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.

[@tipsfortravellers]

Thanks! yes, VERY good point about the solo cabins!!

[@Steve_in_NJ]

@@tipsfortravellers Unfortunately, all the Solo staterooms are on Deck 6 with partially obstructed views as they are over the lifeboats. Design flaw or punishment for solo travelers?

[@jimmcintosh9045]

Yes solo travellers either on land or sea always get a bum expensive deal.

[@chriswilliams6568]

Jim McIntosh one has to see things from both sides. if there are two people the room or cabin charge is shared, when solo, if the room rate is the same, there is no one to share it with. Why would a hotel or ship, charge a solo half the rate of what the room costs.

What about the Infinity Balconies especially in a windy sea day, do your things get blown around your cabin?

Colin Ely you can close the balcony off so it becomes a big window

@@tipsfortravellers problems with tendering in Rhode Island and it was so bad that passengers where tense and then the staff got tense. Saw a verbal altercation between staff and crew. I couldn't believe the staff was yelling at passengers. I had a $100 credit on my room and it was listed on the tv until the last day of the cruise. I went to front desk to see what happened. They searched the phone records could not confirm I had a credit. I had to wait until I got home to get the money refunded to my account. Our shower didn't drain correctly and our bathroom would flood. It seemed like the staff could use more training. They would advertise a laundry special and the room Stewart didn't know or have the bag for the special. It was a bunch of small things that added up to the overall unpleasantness of the cruise.

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.

[@MarriedWithBackpacks]

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.

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

Is the Ocean View Cafe still open during the day so one can sit inside, drink coffee (or whatever), play cards or read?

[@adrianrobson7822]

Yes, it is.

[@jhill4874]

@@adrianrobson7822 Thank you

[@indosaarelaht80]

can you smoke anywhere on the celebrity edge????

[@summerwinter4]

Highly Informative video! Thank you for sharing!

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.

Great video, thanks for your work.

The infinity balcony is a no for me. I like being able to actually go out and sit on my balcony and lounge in the sun.

[@adrianrobson7822]

It's not what I would call a "proper" balcony. More an enlarged ocean-view cabin with a very large window. My wife liked it - I'm not so sure.

[@scottwhitley3392]

I think it’s because this ship is designed to be able to operate in cold climates

[@chriswilliams6568]

i think they have regular balcony’s too, check it out.

[@kellybrown685]

These massive Cruise ships just overwhelm any Caribbean port they dock in. It is INSANE on shore

[@melissamartin9237]

We were on the Apex last December and the Magic Carpet was not used for tendering. Enjoyed the ship but I think we prefer Solstice class.

[@PEJ121]

Edge docked next to Prima last month. Edge is a decent looking ship but next to Prima it looks like a 1990 Nissan Sentra…

[@mcd5478]

Helpful! This looks like a class of ship I’d really like! 👍🏼💖💗👍🏼

[@wannabedal-adx458]

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!

[@danhworth100]

Nice video. This was much more helpful than the celebrity website. The website do a great job of explaining the dining experience.

[@brunkerj]

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.

[@pegasus8873]

This ship is beautiful! Stunning.

[@CruiseLifestyle]

Loved this video, a great summary of Celebrity Edge

[@akajasonbourne]

Very Interested in a celebrity cruise do they have many sailings from uk. As we aren't keen on fly cruises

[@floydfranks7461]

My wife and I have been on 40+ cruises with Celebrity and the Edge is on our “not again list”.

[@PiggyBonkers0309]

How much money do you even have?! I can't afford any cruises

[@loveistheonlyword]

Would love to try a suite once, but hubby and I don’t have anyone else to go with. I also wonder if having a suite would spoil future cruises without one.

[@fuzziebunnie]

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

[@tipsfortravellers]

I’m not so never thought I needed to! But good point maybe worth telling people I’m not

[@2savannah100]

Thanks, I'll stay with Princess. Not the Edge class for sure.

[@chriswilliams6568]

Gary Shick We like Princess too, but also Celebrity. Their food is really good.

[@PiggyBonkers0309]

Is It because the floating orange thingy at one side and not the other...?

[@beastfromtheeast9318]

Celebrity edge is an ego ship. It’s just a ship that people can brag about when they come back from vacation. Vacation is suppose to be fun on however you do it, not a competition of how luxurious it is or how much you spent on it.

[@beastfromtheeast9318]

Robert Robertson I’m older than you

[@beastfromtheeast9318]

Robert Robertson We the same age

[@beastfromtheeast9318]

Robert Robertson nah, I don’t get jealous. I’m realist

[@parisdupree8940]

Ok so what’s your point?

[@chriswilliams6568]

Not a thing to brag about, it is not Regent or Seaborn Cruise line.

[@michaelrepoli3508]

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.
