All suites at The Retreat come with a dedicated butler who’s just a message away. You get access to an exclusive sundeck and lounge that make you feel like you have the ship to yourself. Your table awaits at Luminae, your private, suites-only restaurant. And, you’ll enjoy more perks and amenities than ever before. The Retreat isn’t just a suite.

These Are My Favorite Edge Things

Counting Down ...

As the days get closer to embarkation day for our 7 night Western Caribbean sailing on Celebrity Edge,  we reflected on some of our favorite things from our first look at her last November, when we sailed on one of the 2 day Trade & Press Preview cruises.   It just wasn't enough time to really enjoy our favorites of course.  Here we are again getting ready to depart and the anticipation builds. It's time to start plotting what we don't want to miss on our cruise.

Pamper Yourself on Celebrity Edge

At the heart of The Spa on Celebrity Edge is the SEA Thermal Suite and its eight distinct spaces. Complimentary for all AquaClass guests, it’s a playground for the senses and an incredible place to relax before or after your treatments at The Spa. Guests in other cabin categories can purchase a one-day pass or length of cruise pass to the thermal suite, subject to availability.

 We don't have an AquaClass cabin, so the Spa will be one of our first stops once we are onboard, so that we can purchase the couples pass for the entire cruise. We loved spending some relaxation time there each day during the preview sailing.

Celebrity Edge Resort Deck

Another adults-only retreat is located in the Solarium on the Celebrity Edge Resort Deck. Celebrity ships are known for their covered pool area.   Relax in one of the water lounge chairs, soak away your aches and pains in the hot tub, or simply lounge on one of the chairs.

The Solarium features a three-dimensional art wall that represents the beautiful colors and movement of the ocean. It’s the perfect complement to the serene atmosphere.

Magic Carpet

There's no shortage of innovation on Celebrity Edge. The industry-first Magic Carpet^SM is both the best way to take in spectacular views and the most exciting place to be. By changing function and location, it provides an incredible array of visual perspectives and a distinct experience on every deck it visits. We particularly enjoyed having a drink while enjoying a sunset during our past cruise. We are looking forward to some beautiful sunsets once again.

This is only the beginning of what awaits us on Celebrity Edge. Follow our social media channels and bookmark our anchor diary post for lots more live from Celebrity Edge.  We may be sailing to 4 ports of call, but there is a 5th destination awaiting to be explored further  - we can't wait.

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.

Celebrity Edge Revealed

Celebrity Edge

"A Ship Designed to Depart from the Expected". 

Sailing Fall 2018

Travel partners got a glimpse at Celebrity Edge today.  The new class of ships, the first introduced to the Celebrity fleet since 2007,  is the industry's first ship to be designed in 3D.  Celebrity has teamed up with top designers, including internationally renowned interior designer Kelly Hoppen MBE of Kelly Hoppen Interiors and visionary architect Tom Wright of WKK. American designer Nate Berkus serves as Celebrity Edge's design ambassador, to bring this ship to life.

Magic Carpet

Pictured above, the Magic Carpet is designed with comfortable seating, a full bar, and space for live music performances, so it truly is a destination itself. This spectacular space opens to several decks and transforms into a new and exciting venue depending on which deck it’s positioned. Yes that's right - Magic Carpet travels 13 stories high and rests on decks 2, 5, 14, 16

 “Celebrity Edge is one of the most exciting, innovative and transformational ships I have ever been involved with,” said Richard D. Fain, Chairman and CEO of Celebrity’s parent company, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. “The new features and refined design will establish a new baseline for ships from here on out.”

INFINITE VERANDA 

The most transformational aspect of our stateroom design is the introduction of the Edge Stateroom with Infinite Veranda^SM. These incredible rooms take our standard veranda stateroom and, with the touch of a button, blur—even erase—the boundaries between inside and outside living space. Your entire living space becomes the veranda, letting you walk right out to the water’s edge. This brilliant innovation gives you luxurious open air access to the sea, whenever you wish.

Built at the STX shipyards in Saint-Nazaire, France, Celebrity Edge will be the first in a four-ship order that will enter service between Fall, 2018 and 2022. Celebrity Edge will receive her first sister-ship, Celebrity Beyond, in the spring of 2020. The names of the remaining two cruise ships have not been announced yet.

"Our guests don't want to just skim the world like a magazine – they want to feel a human connection with it," said Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, President and CEO, Celebrity Cruises. "Every element of Celebrity Edge is meant to make that connection intense and unforgettable. Our new class of ship will allow guests to experience their journeys with the uniqueness and sophistication that marks the rest of their lives."

Celebrity's Modern Luxury is taken to a new level with Celebrity Edge.  It will be the standard for all cruise lines to follow going forward.   "Edge" is an appropriate name in our opinion.    Celebrity Cruises has taken cruising "Over the Edge" with this design.   More will be revealed over the year, but view this video for an inside look into the future of cruising.
