Editorial Summary

The creator provides a detailed comparison of sailing with Celebrity Cruises, emphasizing the significant differences between the newer Edge class ships and older vessels like the Solstice class. While the Edge class is described as feeling more like a high-end hotel than a traditional cruise ship, older ships may feel similar to Royal Caribbean vessels in design. The creator notes that the passenger base is generally more affluent than mass-market lines but still includes diverse age groups. Regarding family travel, the creator suggests that while children are welcome, the lack of water slides, arcades, and consistent kids club hours makes it less ideal for families with young children. Dining is highlighted as a premium experience, with the creator noting that most specialty restaurants require an extra fee, though the quality of food in the buffet and main dining rooms is considered a step above competitors. The video also covers unique amenities such as the Sunset Bar, the convenience of the towel service, and the polarizing Infinite Veranda cabin design, which uses a sliding window instead of a traditional balcony door.

Creator's Key Takeaways

Celebrity Cruises is known for being a higher-end cruise line and for a long time it was one of the few major lines that I had yet to sale but that's all changed

the bottom line is that if you want to really have a different and I think the best experience then you've got to go with the newest class of ships in the fleet

yes it is definitely a higher in passenger base than with other lines but certainly not uncomfortably so

I found a definite Step Up in quality aboard celebrity
