Celebrity Edge Cruise Reviews - Reviews

The first of Celebrity's Edge class ships it is amazingly appointed and a pleasure to sail on. I find the staff onboard Celebrity ships amazing and difficult not to develop friendships. A interesting group of ports visited offering their individual charm.

Accommodations were great, didn't feel crowded at all on ship, great selection of entertainment and things to do. Beautiful pool area and all the common areas well designed.

This was a tremendous trip on a wonderful ship. I would highly recommend Celebrity and the Celebrity Edge to all.

Overall, an amazing vacation on a beautiful ship! I would sail on the Edge again in a heartbeat! I can’t say enough about the qualify of the food, service, activities and entertainment. We loved the infinite veranda and can’t imagine cruising without one ever again.

Overall we had the time of our lives! The ship was gorgeous, the staff were courteous and attentive, the entertainment was broadway level, and the food was delicious!

Fun with lovely people! Food was good but limited! Overall was excellent

Family of 5 including three teens. We loved the cruise, but I'm going to start with a "watch outs" so it's the first thing you read. The bad: DO NOT buy the zero proof drink package. It cost $30 per person per day plus 20% gratuity-- so close to $1200 for our family of 5. I bought it because I was led to believe there was no access to non-alcoholic drinks onboard with the base (zero proof) drink package. However, there were juices, lemondes and other non-alcoholic drinks available in the buffet area which is always open. The zero proof package is basically if you want to add bottled water and soda. And even if you do, there's no way you'll drink enough water and soda to make this worthwhile. On top of all this, you have to waiti in lines to get soda or bottled water. So you could get through the buffet and get all your food in 10 minutes, and then wait 15 minutes to get a bottle of water. You have to show your card, and they have to register that you had a bottle of water to your account-- it's an extremely inefficient process. I'd rather they just increase the cruise rate-- it's really a rip off. And another minor complaint-- there are upcharges for some things on the ship that are really tacky. For example, at the ice cream section of the buffet, if you want rum raisen ice cream there's an upcharge-- all other flavors are free. So I could eat one or seven steaks at the buffet with no charge. But if I want a scoop of rum raisen ice cream (vs other flavors) there's a charge. Really tacky. One other thing that was annoying-- my wife didn't feel well one night so we decided to go to the medical office after dinner. Closed at 7pm. We called Guest Services who sent a nurse who seemed annoyed that she had to come in. It was $150 charge for the doctor plus charges for procedures and medicine. We were in there for 10-12 minutes max and it was $200. The good: - Veranda cabin was excellent. Some reviewers didn't like that AC goes off when window is open-- didn't bother us. Note that if you're on the 6th deck, you may have a tender boat right below your veranda-- didn't bother us. - Premium internet worked fine. Note that you don't need an internet package to use the celebrity app on board. - Service throughout the ship was friendly-- staff was excellent. - Food was good at the restaurants (smaller portions) and the buffet. - Entertainment- stage shows were good. Entertainment in lounges was good too. Silent disco was a big hit on board. Wish they had more live entertainment poolside. - Easy getting on and off the ship-- lines move fast. - Captain and Cruise Director (Dave) were very accessible and seemed looked good people. - Smart Casual Dress code- mix of people who get dressed up for night out and people who wear pants with golf shirt and casual shoes/dark colored sneakers. Ports/Excursions: - Barcelona- we did a couple of days on our own and loved it. Stay in the Gothic Quarter. - Valencia- don't need an excursion- walk to town for hsitoric sites (churches, squares) and shops. - Ibiza- we did jeep tour excursion which was good...went to some nice sites and a beach. Wish we would have gone to the main town near the ship. Seemed liked everyone that went there enjoyed the shopping, restaurants, etc. - Corsica- walk around town-- nice shops, restaurants, historic sites in Ajaccio. - Portofino- we did Cinque Terre excursion. Cinque Terre is beautiful. Excusion was okay-- guide didn't really tell us anything-- and required us to take a tender to a boat to a bus to a train to a minibus to get there. - La Spezia- we did an excursion to Florence. Bus drops you off and gives you three hours to visit on your own. Only complaint was that they stopped at a leather factory on the way. Waste of 30 minutes minutes that I (and all of the passengers on the bus) would have rather had in Florence. Clear that tour bus gets a commission to stop there, but stinks for passengers. - Rome- we did a golf cart tour on our own. It was excellent.

Our first cruise and it was amazing! Would definitely go again!

We had a great time! Beautiful ship! Could have been more activities but we knew this going in .

We enjoyed the stops but did not expect so many children/teens.

Itinerary was great. The only drawback was having only one sea day. A second sea day would have been ideal!

A terrific time on the cruise! Our first one a Celebrity X and it was well worth the cost! We truly appreciated the entire experience as well as personal touches added by our Butler and state room attendant

Very welcoming and exceptional service from many of the crew. However prefer older boat layout to Edge class as acoustics in Eden lounge very poor. No Ensemble Lounge on new boats which was our favourite

In summary...I would do this cruise again if given the chance. I might not do as many excursions, as I felt the week flew by. The staff, ship, food and accommodations were top notch!

Was all I expected Great food, Entertainment, Staff,Ship, Ports

Most incredible experience of my entire life I will definitely go again

First time on Celebrity, 3rd cruise overall. Loved it so much we put down a deposit for our next cruise. Would highly recommend this ship and itinerary. Many older passengers but did not impact us - except when they stopped with no warning right in front of us 😄

This was our 4th cruise with Celebrity and it was disappointing on most levels. It was a money grab as soon as you got on the ship. From the drink package to wifi. These packages are all on a tier system. If you don't buy the top tier you have to pay extra. Never had this on other cruises. Shore Excursions never got back to me regarding a complaint I had about a tour. The food was second-rate at best. It was hard to believe it was a Celebrity cruise.

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.

Everything was great! Service, food and entertainment all top notch!
