Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed review of the Celebrity Edge during its inaugural sailing to Alaska. He evaluates the ship's design, noting the bold exterior and the innovative infinite veranda feature, which he found particularly beneficial for viewing Alaskan scenery despite potential drawbacks in warmer climates. The review covers stateroom accommodations, describing the modern technology and layout while noting minor issues with mattress firmness and bathroom sink design. Food quality is presented as a mixed experience, with mediocre buffet and main dining options contrasted by high quality specialty dining at the fine cut steakhouse. While the entertainment and onboard atmosphere are praised for being dynamic and engaging, the creator highlights significant challenges regarding overcrowding in indoor public spaces due to the ship's design being optimized for warmer weather. He also critiques the increasing trend of partitioning public areas for higher tier guests and the prevalence of upcharge opportunities. Ultimately, the creator concludes that the cruise offers excellent value for the price, especially when compared to competitors, despite the inconsistencies in food and the logistical difficulties of sailing in cold weather.

this was one of the best entry-level cabins we've ever had

the entertainment was quite the opposite live music from various artists were prevalent in several key lounges and bars

this was genuinely something that couldn't have been accomplished with other cruise ships and it was a massive part of what made everyone's trip so special
