Celebrity's Edge Class Ships, Ranked (Apex vs Ascent vs Beyond!)

Editorial Summary

The creator compares three vessels from Celebrity Cruises' Edge class series: Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Beyond, and Celebrity Ascent. The analysis focuses on the evolution from the first generation of ships to the second generation, noting that Beyond and Ascent are larger and feature an additional passenger deck. The creator highlights the Magic Carpet, a versatile orange platform suspended over the ship side, as a signature element across all three ships. Detailed comparisons are made regarding ship design, decor, and specific venues. The creator notes that the newer ships feature an expanded martini bar in the grand atrium and a redesigned aft facing Sunset Bar, whereas the Apex versions of these spaces are described as smaller or less impactful. While the Ascent is noted as being nearly identical to the Beyond, the creator concludes that Celebrity Beyond is their personal favorite. This preference is attributed to the ship's role as the creator's first experience with a premium cruise line and the lasting impression of its luxury and thoughtful design.
