This was my first cruise and my friend and I had fun. The port days were nice, but I'd like to focus more on the ship itself.
The Infinite Veranda room was great; we were on deck seven and loved our "balcony". The room was clean and pleasant. The beds were comfortable, the lights and climate were easy to control, and there were loads of clever design features to save space and provide ample storage.
The staff were friendly and accommodating. The captain made amusing announcements, the room attendant was kind and helpful, and everyone was welcoming.
The ship had nifty features; I especially liked the pool on the deck. Some of the ship, such as the lower exteriors of the outdoor hot tubs, need maintenance as they look grubby and old from sunbleaching. Despite that appearance, the ship was very clean.
The extras, such as excursions and services, were very expensive and the food was good, but not great. We ate in one of the main dining rooms on one occasion and then ate at the Oceanview Cafe exclusively, as my main at the Cosmopolitan was really bad. We liked having more choices at the buffet anyway. The poached eggs and cut up fruit in the cafe were very nice amd served up by kind staff.
Another amenity that I enjoyed was room service, who brought us coffee each morning.
We went to a comedy even which was fun and there were silent discos, a casino, parties, cocktail bars, theatre shows, and more. I would have liked to go to one of the game shows - next time!

Our initial reaction on joining the ship was 'Wow'. Cabins beautiful, although wardrobe space was tight and unusual in its design. No longer hanging for trousers or dresses.
Food, much of it very seasoned or spicy, which is difficult with intolerances. I was however well looked after.
Celebrity have taken the 'Ice or Martini' bar and made it the centre of entertainment, which was disappointing, it was lovely on the Solstice class. There was a nightclub, but very claustrophobic.
Eden, cud and should have been the entertainment hub. Beautifully decorated and positioned, but the entertainment was dire. Appreciate Celebrity are trying something different, but people would walk in and either leave straight away or after one drink. No atmosphere at all.
Drinks (wine) selection now very poor, not what you expect from this level of cruise line. Numerous complaints on board with premium packages being refunded. Suppliers blamed, but ......
We did 2 even day back to back cruises. The entertainment from the ships company was repeated. Even 'Liar', a type of 'call my bluff' was a repeat, almost word perfect. The ship were promised words that the panel ( Captain, Cruise Director and Concierge) had not heard b4. Except for the previous week etc, obviously every week for 6 months!!! So disappointing.
The itinerary was however excellent. As was the restaurant selection. No fixed dining and 4 restaurants to choose from each night, although if looking for a sharing table you'd be out of luck.
Not sure we want to go on Edge again, prefer the Solstice class.

Edge was promoted as the future of cruising - we found it underwhelming with much wasted space aboard, too much focus on "artistic" elements that began to feel like "the king's new clothes".
We had a "virtual balcony" which apart from the age that you have to spend holding the button to open or close, was a triumph of miss-selling. It ISN'T a balcony - it's a WINDOW that half lowers and some of the storage is difficult to access because of the room layout and proximity to the bed.
Food was up to Celebrity's usual standard, and the staff in general were friendly, efficient and happy to help.
We are "seniors" and maybe Edge isn't designed for our demographic, but we certainly won't be returning.
By the way we were captained by "Captain Kate" who I found placed too much emphasis on being a female captain. I get the challenge of getting to that position as a woman, but I don't need reminding every day!
