Review summary

We look forward to sailing on Celebrity again in the future. Not sure how we can ever go back to a lesser ship as we were truly spoiled as guests on Celebrity Edge in Conceirge Class.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick, easy and painless! An absolutely amazingly organized embarkation.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Very good! The only bad experience was the special luncheon on the first day for Conceirge Class. They had trouble being organized and it took longer than it should have! Other than that, dinners were amazing and lots of selections for places for breakfast and lunch.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Participated in the noon pool water exercises. Walked the track - I liked that it had a bit of an incline in parts.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Very good! We especially enjoyed the comedian, Ralph Harris and made it a point to see both of his shows. We really enjoyed Charity's performance of Aretha Franklin and her personalizing by sharing stories. The magician the first night was also very good. We were not able to attend all of the performances, though,

Children's Programs

No children with us!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff both in restaurants and the room stewards were absolutely amazing. When running into other ship personnel around the ship, they were very kind. We especially liked the presentation on the Galapagos by Ruben and Neena.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Just beautiful. Cutting edge modern and creative in design. The common areas were also clean all the time. I loved having the bathroom attendants in the evenings in public restrooms.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We were very comfortable with our cabin. WE found more than enough storage provided allowing us to keep our cabin picked up at all times. The cabin was very clean as our room steward did a great job keeping it spotless!

Ship tip

Be prepared that the balconies aren't true balconies that you are accustomed to. And when you open the window, the AC will shut off. The views are still fabulous,

Not much to be done about the pesky Venezuelian refugees in your face trying to sell their wares. But it made me very uncomfortable. We had a fabulous tour guide for our excursion.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Easy peasy. Even going through customs was a piece of cake.
