Review summary

Booked this cruise 24 months ago and watched youtube as the ship was being built very excited. The ship has some problems like no real piano bar or someplace where you could just go and enjoy some music and a drink. Most of the specialty restaurants were very high priced. Our sky suite had a rocker which took up too much room, it sat low so hard to get out of the rocker. With the rocker in the room there was no table so room service had to be placed on the bed also no lounge on the veranda just some very uncomfortable chairs so why have a veranda . WE walked out of 2 stage shows just was something we wanted to see. The silent disco was just terrible DJs didn’t have a clue what the people wanted to hear.

Embarkation

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

the Luminae was good but the menu was limited service were good. The Cosmopolitan had a bigger menu which was nice and again the food was good and so was the service. The Buffets was also very good for a buffet

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

nice room but no lounges on the veranda just small chairs, rocker in room was a real pain took up too much room plus no table in the room because of the rocker. app on phone never was able to work the room controls but those controls even manually were very cool

Ship tip

go on the Aplex when it comes outs maybe Celebrity will fix the problems that the Edge has.

I went to the same ports on the Carnival Breeze. I had a great time! They do have a piano bar on that one and other places on the ship to go and listen to music. They also have some decent shows.
