Creator's Key Takeaways
We've been on every single Celebrity cruise ship till now, so we know the hidden spots and the secret places to be.
This record-breaking ship for Celebrity Cruises is part of the Celebrity Edge Class, Celebrity Cruises biggest cruise ship class.
I'm not one that has taken a dip yet, but when I do take a dip, I'm going to let you know.
We highly recommend it. Jordan and I love our aqua class experiences mostly because of this blue restaurant is such higher-end dining.
