Review summary

Celebrity Edge ships really are amazing. Nothing beats a brand new ship! Room, services, food & drinks were all amazing and 5 star. I will definitely be cruising on Celebrity again, however, hopefully with a slightly more inclusive demographic.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easiest embarkation ever!! . After we dropped off our bags, we were literally checked in and on board within 10 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Best food and drinks I have ever had on a cruise. MDR , specialty, and buffets are all equally delicious. It's worth the extra costs.

Cosmopolitan Restaurant

5 out of 5

Delicious food & 5 star services

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Fitness Center was spacious and good equipment. Due to the AM sun and the cardio machines facing the windows, I worked up a sweat.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Whitney Houston tribute show was excellent. Bridges & Caberet style show was excellent. I didn't care for the silent disco because music selections were poor and no R&B selections. The 2 other channels had no variety.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Five star services all the way . From Nenga our room attendant to Willie in the steakhouse. Bar tenders, waiters, buffet staff . Everyone was smiling and friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Brand new ship and super clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Beautiful functional room lots of storage . The bathroom was super clean, spacious, and had lots of storage as well. The location was 31559 . I was initially worried as I had never been on a low deck like that before. It actually was quiet and close to everything. 2 mins from Martini Bar, Cafe Al Baccio, and very close to theater club and MDR .

Ship tip

9 day cruise definitely had a mature demographic. I am 54 and felt young, and my son, who is 27, was one of the youngest adults on board. Consider this before booking.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
Pre Stay at the Kimpton Surfside and did a Celebrity post cruise excursion which ended up taking us to both Ft Lauderdale & Miami airport Ft Lauderdale is a cool town more laid back than Miami

Kralendijk, Bonaire

5 out of 5
Celebrity excursion to private beach but learned you can take water taxi for $25 . Beautiful island and best gelato i have ever had !

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Not quite as easy as embarkation as had post cruise excursion. Still off when you needed to be.

Definitely sounds fun. If school is in session, you likely will see an older crowd. Thanks for your review.
