Review summary
I found the Celebrity Edge to be a visually beautiful ship throughout. I’m told by several members of the staff that the cruise I was on was 100% sold out and we had 2,999 passengers on board. The ship felt very crowded and it seeds like there was masses of passengers everywhere. It was almost impossible to get a lounge chair around the pool, nearly impossible to get a seat at any of the bars and the huge mass of people left me feeling un-relaxed while on board. I purchased a “Concierge Class cabin and can only say, in my opinion paying for this upgrade over a regular veranda suite a complete wast of money. Celebrity implies that you will have a “Concierge” that you can call should the need arise. In reality, this is the furthest thing from the truth. The truth is that someone called a Concierge leave a voice mail on your phone with a message that contains information that is also available in the daily ship’s news letter. There was never any way of contacting this invisible Concierge via phone as the daily message never included a return phone extension. Any form of telephone communication was not possible. In order to obtain the service of this Concierge, you would have to go to their office and wait your turn for any service that was needed. This is a disservice to the passenger and certainly does not add any convenience, which is the whole point of a concierge in the first place. I will sail with Celebrity, likely not on this high demand, crowded ship. In future cruises on Celebrity I won’t be duped into paying for a service that I found not to exist.Embarkation

Ship tip
While the ship holds 3000 passengers, that is too many for making a comfortable cruise on this ship.
