Review summary

Edge is a lovely ship, crew is fantastic. This itinerary is for novice cruisers who only are interested in beach or shopping. Not much else to do in these ports.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Best ever - having a 30 min window to check in, and being able to go to our cabin immediately was great.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Liked the 3 "main" dining room concept. Oceanview Cafe buffet excellent. Ate at specialty restaurants Le Petit Chef (very cute concept), and steakhouse. Other in party weren't crazy about Edge meal, and no one wanted sushi at Raw or BBQ. Wish an Italian, French or Asian fusion type was available.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Shows rate a B, spa B+ (noisy where thermal chairs were due to everyone passing through), pool nice. Didn't do much else.
