Review summary

It was a lovely cruise but I would stick to another cruise line when traveling with active kids. Also, their loyalty program is not equal to Royal Caribbean which is part of the same company

It might be better for older kids but they had my 9 year old grandson in a group playing 4 year old games

Absolutely beautiful. Huge window at the very front of ship but be prepared to do a lot of walking!

Ship tip

Eden is a wonderful place to relax

Take an excursion. There’s not much to do in town. The Lumber Jack show is wonderful for kids and adults

Celebrity is indeed owed by RCCL but runs under its own business model, thus its loyalty tiering structure is its own. However it is reciprocal in tiering status with RCCL but the rewards offered at the different levels may not equate.

Agree with your analysis. The Edge class shipsvare beautiful but this is not a good ship for young children.

Appreciate your feedback. You learned a valuable lesson about this cruise line being better for adults. Glad you enjoyed Alaska, if not the ship.
