Celebrity Edge

10 Night Great Barrier Reef (Sydney Roundtrip)

Sail date: January 25, 2024

Ship: Celebrity Edge

Cabin number: 6128

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 9 months ago

Review summary

The change in the itinerary made many plans including one that was most important, snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef impossible. While there is no way to predict bad weather, the times that we were in port made it impossible to rearrange our plans and there were no available packages to book through the cruiseline. There was a great deal of time lost in getting off the ship when the ports were tendered which cut into the time we had available to do things in port.
