Cruising Celebrity Cruise the Edge

Celebrity Edge is a luxury cruise ship that offers a unique and unforgettable experience as it sails locations all over the world. Our Celebrity Cruise sailed from Miami, Florida to the most beautiful and exotic islands in the Caribbean. This 10 day Ultimate South Caribbean cruise made stops in St. Maarten, Barbados, Antigua, St. Lucia, St. Kitts & Nevis.

One of the most exciting features of the Celebrity Edge is the Edge Staterooms, which have infinite verandas that allow guests to bring the outside in by seamlessly blending their stateroom with the sea. Our favorite time of the day was relaxing in our room, with the windows down , watching the sun set from our veranda. There’s nothing better than taking some extra moments alone.

One of the most notable features of Celebrity Edge is its unique design, which includes the Magic Carpet. The Magic Carpet is a unique platform that moves up and down the ship’s side, offering different experiences such as a private dining area, a live music venue, and an exclusive lounge for suite guests.

The ship offers a variety of activities for guests to enjoy while on board, including a rooftop garden to watch movies, a spa, fitness center, and a inside and outside pool deck with multiple pools and hot tubs. The Edge also has a variety of entertainment options, including a theater, a casino, and different themed bars and lounges. One of our personal favorite entertainment was the Silent Disco nights. It was a blast listening to whatever music, dancing the night away and seeing all the others silently doing the same. Even if you feel silly, everyone else was doing it too!

When it comes to dining, the Celebrity Edge offering is slightly different than other typical cruises. The main dining rooms each bring their own twist based on their international cuisine. The Cosmopolitan Restaurant, serves American cuisine, while the Normandie Restaurant offers French fine dining. The Tuscan Restaurant offers traditional Italian cuisine, and the Cyprus Restaurant offers Mediterranean foods. If you don’t prefer the cuisine of one of these restaurants, no problem! Every restaurant has a portion of the menu that is shared among all dining so you can find the same menu in each restaurant.

The ship has specialty dining options too. The Rooftop Grill, which offers a unique al fresco dining experience, and the Raw on 5, which serves sushi and raw seafood. We, personally loved the Raw on 5 restaurant. The seafood was diverse, fresh and delicious!

While I mentioned the Celebrity Edge veranda rooms, it also offers other accommodations for guests, including staterooms, suites, and Edge Villas, which are the ship’s most luxurious accommodations. These villas feature private outdoor spaces, plunge pools, and an exclusive access to the ship’s rooftop garden. Imagine cruising in the Edge Villas with so much space you never need to leave your room!
