Review summary

Our second cruise with Celebrity and thoroughly enjoyed it yet again. The quality of service and food is what has kept us with Celebrity. These EDGE class ships are as good as you can get nowadays. The process is almost always smooth for ports and embarkation/disembarkation which leaves you to just enjoy the ship and your ports in the most ideal way.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Slight delays but good communication throughout

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Eden, Rooftop Garden Grill, Le Voyage, and even the main buffet Oceanview Cafe were consistently great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Pool, Solarium, and spa facilities were great. Wish the spa could be expanded upon with separate men’s & women’s areas.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Performances were surprisingly fantastic. Both the main theater and Eden cast incredibly talented with amazing production values. Even to Las Vegas standards.

5 out of 5

Service and staff could not be better.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

Ship tip

We prefer tge Oceanview Cafe over the 4 main dining rooms. Great healthy choices for food all over. Don’t skip the theater and Eden shows.

Thanks for the review! I agree, the Celebrity Edge class are amazing ships! My only criticism is the spa area, thermal suite. No hydrotherapy pool in the spa is a big mistake. Otherwise, I really love those ships.
