Review summary

We had the most amazing experience sailing on the Celebrity Edge. As it was our first cruise cannot compare to others but I cannot fault the ship, it's facilities, the crew and excursions were all excellent. 10/10 - very happy 1st time cruisers!!

Quick and efficient

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
So much choice! All eating areas clean and spacious. The 4 MDRs had beautiful décor and hard working, attentive staff in each one.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Excellent productions each night. Especially enjoyed the theatrical shows. First class.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
First rate staff all around. The training given to crew members is very effective as I didn't experience any negativity or bad service. How do so many of them remember so many passengers' names?! LOL

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Faultless, beautiful and contemporary design. The entire ship was extremely clean and well maintained with nothing out of place.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our deluxe inside stateroom was spacious, very clean with an awesome spacious bathroom. Plenty of space for storage.

Ports of call

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy Did not visit port

Looked pretty but did not see much as just gateway to the ship.

Naples, Italy

4 out of 5
Yes - to Pompeii.

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

5 out of 5
Beautiful port and area in general. Did our own excursion on hop on/off bus tour and horse carriage ride.

Barcelona, Spain

5 out of 5
Best of both worlds - city and beach. Lots to see and do. Very easy to get around on foot/Metro. Did the cable car ride across the city which afforded spectacular views.

Monte Carlo, Monaco

5 out of 5
Absolutely loved Monaco - perfect place for 'posey' pics alongside all the glam people, fab cars and beautiful luxury yachts/boats.

Santa Margherita Ligure, Italy

5 out of 5

La Spezia, Italy

3 out of 5
Port quite dull-looking but to be fair, we didn't explore as not enough time. Visited the wonderful Florence and Pisa via bus tour. Florence around 2 hours away from La Spezia.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Again, quick and efficient.
