Almost looks like a post card. If only they would remove that darn crane! It keeps messing up the great shots of the ship.

I agree that the crane has been annoying. It should be gone a week from today, at the latest (unless they wish to drag it across the Atlantic).

They have to leave it in place at least until they remove the dreaded dumpsters from the Resort Deck!  Then it can go!  Or, it will stay in place and the Edge will move!

We can have a lot of fun thinking up four letter words to post on the stacks of future ships. 🤬

 

Celebrity Cruises has trademarked some short names along with Apex...

I like APEX and LUXE

LUXE - Expensive, High Quality, Luxurious

That is one good looking port side photo of The Edge.

I like the way the name Edge looks on the funnel! I am so excited about this but still have about 5 months to go!!!! 

The OVC looks so nice but I can't stop but thinking how dirty the fabric cushions will get! Imagine people with wet swimming suit sitting there! And then you go and it is all wet ! Sorry, I am a bit of a germaphobic when it comes to buffets. In the pool deck I deal with it by putting several towels on the cushions if I am lucky enough to grab one of those. 

Am I crazy for thinking this way?

 

I am so excited about this that I have added to my phone notifications when Apex will be open for caribbean bookings. I was about 5 months late booking Edge and I don't think I missed much on the Aqua Prices but I think I could had extended my pricing to Suites.

I like Icon and Epic but Norwegian Cruise Line already has Epic, doesn't it?

 

Not sure how I feel about Luxe. It reminds me of the credit card ads I get on my email.

Yes Norwegian already has the name Epic. Generally, RCCL brands don't copy other cruise line's ship names. They like to create their own. Yes there is sometime a lot of name copying between lines, e.g. RCI vs Carnival, with Freedom, Liberty; RCI and Seven Seas, e.g. Mariner, Navigator, Explorer, and so on.

And they are all four letter names! 😉 😁

Opus was another one I was going to suggest.

I can understand “Luxe”, but it's not my favorite.

I just downloaded the app. Unfortunately my cruise is too far out to see anything! I will continue to live vicariously through all of you!

Suggestion for E-3.......

 

Xcel!

 

Don't like Acme as it does remind me of a supermarket chain or that dreaded skin condition of adolescence!

Nope – Celebrity ships starting in X are Galapagos only.

I think it’s a very safe bet that these are the next three Edge-class ship names. Good find, Lloyd.

not a fan of LUXE, but I like a previous suggestion of ICON, along with OPUS, APEX and EDGE it would be a nice quartet of vessel names :)

The Grand Plaza and a first look at Cafe Al BACIO!

Magic Capret!

[vtcruising]

Nice pictures, Mary!  I have loved the look of Cafe al Bacio from the first renderings - I think it is going to be one of my favorite places - hope no one else finds it!
