In Martini Heaven on Celebrity Edge

Celebrity Edge Martini Bar

 National Martini Day 2020 


We were first introduced to Chocolate Martinis on Celebrity Millennium in 2001.  Shortly after we sailed from Dover, England, we got a phone call and learned that my mother had passed away.  We would have to disembark the ship at the first port of call. 

This was a Baltic cruise with one of our stops in St. Petersburg, Russia.  We'd organized a group tour with some fellow passengers.   Since we had the tour tickets, we had to meet them before disembarking.   They invited us to the martini bar and our love of Chocolate Martinis had begun.

Since that time, we've been on a quest for the perfect martinis at sea. Celebrity Cruises bartenders really know how to make some good martinis.  In addition, the venues are really special which adds to the enjoyment.

The martini bar has become our pre-dinner meeting place.  We've had many happy memories onboard Celebrity ships including our latest on the Edge.




New Favorite Is Born


Celebrity Edge had an extensive martini menu but they didn't have my favorite milky Chocolate Martini.   We did try the Snowflake Martini which is made with Grey Goose Vanilla, White Chocolate, Heavy Cream, Liqueur, and Creme Cocoa.  It was a close second to my traditional choice. If you ask, they will make the traditional martinis that aren't on the menu as well.

Since we had the premium drink package, martinis were included. Each night we experimented with several different martinis   My new favorite is the Coconut Cream-Tini.   It's made with Bacardi, Coco Lopez and Vanilla.   Other favorites included  Bananas Foster and Toffee Apple.  The image to the right has just a sampling of the many choices on their martini menu. 

The bar comes alive with entertainment as well, making it a fun place to hang out before or after dinner.  We suggest getting there early since it is a very popular meeting place, especially before early seating dinner.

We will continue our quest to find the best martinis at sea.  So far, we have been very pleased with all the Celebrity Cruise martini bars.   Make sure to check out the rest of our Martini Bar pictures.
