Editorial Summary

The creator reviews an Infinite Veranda cabin on the Celebrity Edge, a room type that differs from traditional cruise balconies by integrating the outdoor space into the interior design. The cabin features a large window with a motorized glass pane that can slide down to create an open balcony area. The creator notes that while the design blurs the lines between inside and outside, it lacks the physical separation found in standard balcony cabins. Throughout the seven day cruise, the creator explores the room's modern amenities, including a spacious bathroom, clever storage solutions, and a unique power socket box. The review highlights several practical aspects, such as the noise produced by the moving glass and the difficulty of managing light levels when sharing the room with someone on a different sleep schedule. While the creator appreciates the ability to view scenery from the bed and the protection from the elements, they conclude that the room functions as a hybrid between an ocean view and a traditional balcony. Ultimately, the creator suggests that while the design is logical, they would personally prefer a standard balcony for the extra separate space.

Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm currently on a cruise and I'm staying in a balcony cabin that has a feature that I've never seen on a cruise ship before

the description of the cabin promised to blur the boundaries between inside and outside and that it definitely did

I would pick a traditional balcony cabin over this one but I would be more than happy to stay in this cabin again for the right price

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Claim the bed with USB sockets quickly if staying in this cabin
βœ“Consider that the balcony window can be closed by the crew in bad weather
βœ“Be aware that the motorized blinds can be noisy when opening

Not enough separate space β€” There is enough room for time together and apart, but you lose separate indoor/outdoor spaces
Noise from blinds waking others β€” If sharing with someone on a different schedule, the motorized blinds can disturb sleep
