Edge Connects to the Sea

Resort Deck album

Internationally acclaimed architect Tom Wright of WKK Architects collaborated with Celebrity Cruises to create the Resort Deck on Celebrity Edge. With his vision, the Resort Deck offers endless ways to enjoy the outdoors and connect with the sea.

Revolutionary in its vision, the Resort Deck is encompassed by an outward-facing asymmetrical pool deck with a poolside gallery full of over-sized art installations, two-story martini hot tubs, and high-ceiling cabanas that overlook the ocean.

Rooftop Garden

Solarium album

There’s also the Rooftop Garden, an urban playscape where you can catch a movie, have a picnic, or dance among the stars. Fly high in the sky on the Magic Carpet, cantilevered over the ocean and connecting you to destinations in a new immersive way.

Solarium

Find an intimate space at the re-imagined, adults-only Solarium. Or go for a run on the jogging track that spans two decks and winds up, down, and around the Rooftop Garden and terraced pool deck. Collectively, the Resort Deck is unlike any other outdoor space at sea—or on earth.

Introducing Infinite Veranda

Transforming Ocean Views

The most transformational aspect of Celebrity Cruises new stateroom design is the introduction of the Edge Stateroom with Infinite Veranda, where with the touch of a button, your entire living space becomes the veranda, letting you walk right out to the water’s edge. 

These staterooms feature the latest in design and technology, and they’re 23% larger than their award-winning Solstice® Class veranda staterooms.

Welcome Aboard Celebrity Edge

We arrived at Port Everglades Pier 25 around 11:30 AM, used our Celebrity App to check in, and proceeded to the gangway to go onboard.   Once onboard the ship, we were greeted with the traditional selection of champagne and other drinks.  We finished our drink and headed for our cabin.

As usual, the cabins were still being made up, but we were able to drop off our luggage and snap a few pics before heading off to explore the ship.  Here is your first glimpse of Celebrity Cruise's latest cabin innovations.

Concierge Cabin - Infinite Veranda

More Pics:  Concierge Cabin album

Our cabin was 11145 on deck 11 starboard side.  The highlight new feature was the infinite veranda.  You'll notice in the picture, that the cabin steward has the room setup as if the veranda was a sitting area, but obviously, you can rearrange the chairs and tables any way you like.

The controls in the picture raise and lower the shade and window of the infinite veranda.  The key pad controls can also be used, as can your cell phone, if you've installed the Celebrity App.  Both of those devices can also adjust lighting in the room and more.  Watch the video on our previous article to get more details.

Another feature which we loved was the charging station with both electric and USB connections as well as the additional connections on both sides of the bed.  You can be lying in bed, charging your phone, and controlling everything in the cabin from your mobile device or tablet.  They've come a long way from having only one or two outlets in the cabin and no USB connections. 

When the window is closed, the cabin is very quiet. One design improvement might be to include a curtain across the veranda area.   You can lower the shade to keep out the sun or moon, but if someone wanted to get up early and sit on the veranda without disturbing other guests in the cabin, that really isn't possible.  They will most likely wake up unless you are as quiet as a mouse and the burst of light (when you raise the shade) doesn't disturb their sleep.

Celebrity Edge Pre-Cruise

Heading to the Edge

Arriving at O'Hare International Airport on November 24th, we were greeted by festive holiday decorations in the terminal.  The skies were overcast, but weather was still favorable for flying.  As always, especially in winter time, we leave a day early, allowing for possible delays. 

The next day, a huge snow storm would blanket the area.  Had we waited to fly until the day of our cruise, we would have not gotten out in time to meet the ship.

Even though Celebrity Edge was embarking in Fort Lauderdale, we flew into Miami airport, because flights were cheaper.  Celebrity had arranged shuttle buses in both Miami and Fort Lauderdale.

Hilton Miami Airport - Blue Lagoon

Our hotel accommodations for the evening were at Hilton Miami Airport Blue Lagoon.  The hotel has a free shuttle service to and from the airport, which made it convenient for our pre-cruise stay.   We arrived at our hotel right about dinner time, so after we checked in and dropped off our luggage, we went downstairs to check out our options.

There were several choices including room service, a restaurant (which had been temporarily relocated to a ballroom), lobby bar, and pool bar.   We opted for the lobby bar.   We had eaten late, so we didn't need anything heavy. There were flatbread pizzas on the menu, so that is what we decided to share between the two of us.

Embarkation Morning

Sunday morning, we made coffee in our room and had a light breakfast.  We knew that shortly we'd be on Celebrity Edge and as is typical on a cruise, the first thing you do is get something to eat (as the cabins are not usually ready).

We headed down to the lobby to wait for the shuttle back to the airport.  There we'd meet representatives from Celebrity Cruises who would direct us to the shuttle buses.  According to the schedule, they were going run every 30 minutes starting at noon.   We got there early anyway hoping they might start early.  We were told to come back at 11 AM, that they might be leaving shortly after that.    When we found out that they wouldn't be early, we shared an Uber with another agent who we met while waiting in the airport. We were on the ship before noon.
