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.

Relaxing at Sea on Majestic Princess

THE ENCLAVE® 

AT LOTUS SPA®

We continued our exploration of Majestic Princess with a tour of the Lotus Spa.

The highlight of the spa is the Enclave, home to Princess’ largest-ever thermal suite and a dramatic hydro-therapy pool with a cascading rain shower and therapeutic air jets. Here you can relax on heated stone beds or soothing water beds.

Features include: The Hammam – a Turkish-style steam bath, and from Roman times, the Caldarium –a light steam chamber infused with herbal aromas and the Laconium – a heated, dry chamber to help with purification and detoxification of the body.

At the conclusion of the tour, we booked a couples hot stones massage for the next day and use of the Enclave for the entire cruise for the two of us. Except for embarkation day, we spent time in the Enclave either before or after dinner.

Tip:  Take advantage of first day discounts at the Lotus Spa.  You should book your treatments early so that you get your preferred dates and times.

In addition to the time we spent at the spa on Majestic Princess, we spent time relaxing at the Hollywood Pool Club and the Hollywood Conservatory.  We'll share more details in another post.

Relaxing in Singapore

click images to enlarge

Crowne Plaza 

Changi Airport Pool

When we stayed at the Crowne Plaza before the cruise, we didn't have a chance to use the pool. The pool is located on the third floor in a court area.   This is also where the spa is located.  On our way to the lobby to check out before our cruise, my husband took a detour to check out the pool.  He took some pictures and showed them to me.  We decided then that we wanted to use the pool when we came back after the cruise.   Now that we were back at the hotel, we needed to plan our day.

Planning our Final Day in Singapore

One of the thoughts we had was to tour Singapore via the Hop on Hop Off Bus.  We knew that there was a ticket booth in the airport which could sell us tickets for the bus.   We weren't certain if we could begin at the airport or if we needed to get into Singapore city center.  Since we had free Wi-Fi at the hotel, we started doing some research.

All of a sudden my husband said that if we wanted to go swimming, we'd need to do so before going into Singapore.  He went on to say that he really wanted a relaxing day.  I was so happy he said that because I felt the same way.  We decided to change into our swimming suits and head to the pool.

We met a couple lounging by the pool who had also been on our ship.  We struck up a conversation and learned that they were flying out later that night and had reserved a hotel room for the day.  After about an hour we said good-bye to our fellow passengers and headed to our room to change clothes.

By now it was time to eat lunch, so we decided to go to the airport, check out the tourist kiosks, and then get some food.  We'll continue the story in our next post.
