Review summary

First of the Edge class ships, previous Celebrity trips were all Solstice class. Beautiful decor and design. Dining experiences ere all very positive and unique. The poor beverage service that we experienced almost throughout the ship was a huge disappointment and not something we encountered on previous trips. Early in the evenings (maybe 9:30-10pm) the outdoor areas were often littered with used glass and bottles, garbage, and were just simply uncared for. The best way to receive drink service was to stand in line at the bar, the usual smiling staff were all but absent. It should be noted that over the 11 nights we did in fact receive cocktails from wait staff on a number of occasions. But the frequency of the service and friendliness from previous trips was not on the Beyond menu. Having said that, so many other aspects of the ship were wonderful and any time you can escape the winter and sail the Caribbean you’re winning. The main and specialty dining venues offered a wide range of choices and although the food on past cruises was considered excellent, they may have even improved on it. Be prepared for more stairs, ramps, and twist and turns than Solstice class. Not an issue at all for us, however I mention it for people it’s mobility concerns. Lastly our room…… which was tended to wonderfully by our steward Wayan. Kudos for the much improved bathroom and its many features. Super comfortable mattress, increased cupboard space, great use of space. As for the infinite veranda, there’s been more than enough rotten by other on the topic. I’ll simply say that it’s not my “cup of tea” as it were. While the overall view is improved when closed, it simply cannot compare with a balcony when open, nuff said.
