7 Days on Celebrity Edge Class: Barcelona to Athens (Not What I Expected)

Creator's Key Takeaways
I started cruising on mass-market cruise lines. You know, MSC, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean.
Then I sailed Celebrity Edge Class. I was wrong.
The reason it finally made sense has nothing to do with what is on a brochure.
Celebrity doesn't do one spectacular thing and asks you to forgive everything else. They do hundreds of small things extremely well.
