Creator's Key Takeaways

The Edge class for celebrity is my absolute all-time favorite class of ship. Hands down.

The ship was phenomenal. All the things, you know, a couple of things were different. Most of the things were the same, but it's just the overall ship was a beautiful ship.

The shows in the bazaar phenomenal were great. Phenomenal.

Just do it. You will not regret it. It will be an amazing uh time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to the bazaar shows about two hours early for a good seat, or go to the 10:00 PM showing.
Do the brunch at the Mediterranean restaurant (Bora).
Visit the speak-easy for a unique vibe and great drinks, but respect the no-photo rule.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Infinite veranda cabins may feel different from traditional balconiesThe infinite veranda provides more interior space and can be closed off to create a sun room; it's great for cooler itineraries like Alaska.
