![]() ![]() ![]() The Theatre is state of the art with the first “stage in the round” (almost) I’ve seen at sea. Being connected to the sea is a theme across the ship and enjoying a drink on deck 14 directly over the sea is quite incredible!ĭeck 14 also has the outdoor pool, solarium with indoor pool and resort decks with private cabanas, quiet spaces and incredible artwork installations. The “magic” is being movable between deck 2 and 14 (sadly no guests are allowed inside when moving!). One feature that has been featured as ground breaking is the “Magic Carpet”, an innovative feature on the port side which is used as a bar, restaurant and tender stage. Celebrity Edge Magic Carpet The “Magic Carpet” on Celebrity Edge ship – are you game to sit there? If a “traditional” balcony is needed simply extend the folding glass doors if not – enjoy the light, sea and air through your stateroom. The “WOW” moment is when you see the balcony ( Infinite Verandah), its part of the room! So much light and space, the Ocean feels part of the room! The killer feature is a drop-light window which, at the touch of a button, descends to mid-level to open up the whole room to the sun and sea. Celebrity Edge Verandah cabin view – looks more like a hotel room than ship cabin The bathroom is said to be 10% larger than most and included a bathrobe and slippers. First on Edge, it is expected to roll out on other ships in the future. The bed has been created exclusively for Celebrity Cruise Line with a cashmere mattress and eXhale bedding program. The Celebrity Edge staterooms were designed by Kelly Hoppen, an award winning British designer, and are unlike anything else you’ve seen on a cruise ship. Raw Bar on 5 – hard to miss on the Celebrity Edge ship The atrium on the Celebrity Edge ship Edge Balcony Stateroom (Infinity Verandah) Beautifully presented “Raw on 5” sets the scene for the whole ship and its elegant design and luxury all the way! I love cruising and am used to established standards but Celebrity Edge takes luxury in design to another level. When you walk on board The Celebrity Edge yes it’s new, but WOW! When you board on deck 5 the first thing you see is “Raw on 5” the most tempting and delicious looking shellfish selection I have ever seen. The CEO of Celebrity Cruises said “when you walk on board it should feel brand new”. If this video doesn’t tempt you well I don’t know what to say because I’m ready to experience the new Celebrity Edge! Review: Celebrity Edge Cruise Ship The Edge of Luxury at Sea by Amy Stanning This looks like a boutique hotel resort at sea! The design of the roof garden, the many retreat outdoor spaces as well as the spa and indoor spaces don’t look like any cruise ship I’ve sailed in the past. With the ship in Europe for its inaugural season, I’ve not had a chance to sail yet but my UK friend, Amy Stanning, did have a preview press and trade sailing in the UK recently and shares her initial review of Celebrity Edge with photos below.īut first….the teaser video by Celebrity (I’ve watched many times). It’s a start for solo travelers, like me, who enjoy luxury cruises. So imagine my surprise when Celebrity announced their new ship, Celebrity Edge, would have (single) solo balcony cabins. This was one of many “wow” moments that made Celebrity one of my favorite cruise lines. When the main entrees arrived, we were all surprised to see my dinner – it was exactly as I described – pasta, grilled chicken and asparagus in a red sauce. He convinced me to come to dinner that evening and join the group. ![]() I told him I was tired of the extravagant meals and craved something simple I make at home and described the meal. One night, the maître d saw me and remarked that I wasn’t booked for dinner (not many solos onboard plus I was younger than the demo so I stood out). Staff exceeding expectations is an understatement. I’ve sailed many cruise lines over the years and one of my favorite cruise memories was on Celebrity Constellation sailing Turkey and Greece. ![]() Beach in Turkey visited on the Celebrity Constellation cruise ![]()
