Setting Sail on Celebrity Edge

Introducing Celebrity Edge

We are back from our preview sailing on Celebrity Edge. Hopefully, you were following our adventure on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram during that time, but if not, don't worry, as we finally have some time to summarize our experiences here as well. 

The Celebrity Edge lived up to all the hype prior to its arrival in Fort Lauderdale. Celebrity Cruises has really knocked it out of the park. We didn't mind waiting 6 years for a new class of ship, if this was the result. 

Follow along for complete details. If you have any questions, reach out to us via any of our social accounts.


Get the App Before the Cruise

I'm not a big fan of all the mobile apps that are in use these days. I almost need a second phone just for apps.  However, I did find the new Celebrity Cruises App very easy to use and helpful.  So I recommend you install it in advance.

Once you've signed into your Celebrity Cruises account on the app, you can select your upcoming cruise vacation and all the information you need for planning is now at your fingertips on your phone or other mobile device.

Have you ever come back from a cruise, taken a look at the paper daily planners, and said "I wish that I knew that was going on, I would have done that?"   Well, now, you can do your planning in advance and be sure to have your list of "to do" events on your phone.   Of course, you can always change your mind or just "go with the flow" - that's what cruising is all about.  But for the planners, this is definitely ideal.

Here's a quick video from Celebrity Cruises that demonstrates the new app's functionality.  The app worked seamlessly for me, but my husband did need to do a reinstall during the cruise when it seemed to get hung up, but all was fine after that.


Expedite Your Check-In

Celebrity Cruises recommends using the phone app to check in for your cruise, but you can also do so online on their website.   We like to have all bases covered, so we had the boarding passes on our mobile phones, and also a printed copy (in case you have network issues at the pier for some reason).
We did use the mobile boarding pass on the day of embarkation, along with our passports.
