How Much More Would You Pay For Edge

[CHEZMARYLOU]

With all the speculation about Edge and, hopefully, a soon release of itineraries and prices; how much more would you be willing to pay for a cabin on Edge that is comparable to a cabin on an S or M class ship?

[AtlantaCruiser72]

If it contains complimentary facilities/amenities that the M&S class ships lack, that meaningfully enhance my cruise experience, then I might be willing to pay 10-15% more as compared to a similar itinerary on one of the existing ships.

With the Canadian dollar so bad we're able to keep cruising because we've been able to find killer deals. I don't think we'll see any of those on Edge for a long time. So my answer is no premium.

You're asking if we'd buy a pig in a poke.

 

Without knowing a single thing about the ship or the services and amenities offered, or the itineraries?

 

$0.00.

 

Ask me again in a couple of years.

I put "no interest" since I have no interest in a lot of cruising destinations, like the Caribbean. I also have no interest if the ship turns out to be as suite-centric as they have hinted.

 

But give me a good itinerary and a good overall experience and would be interested, but not at much premium, after seasoning. Just don't get the new and shiny so pay a lot more mindset. Especially when LOTS of new builds have teething problems, let alone a whole new class of ship.

Premature....

We would want to know what it offers, what it looks like, where it's going, and the prices for cabin categories before responding to this poll.

 

If they eliminate AQ class (or something comparable) or have a dine around plan, not interested in it. If they have a great spa..then probably yes we'd sale at a reasonable price,

I don't want to pay more for a new ship if it offers nothing substantially different from the current fleet.

[HAM]

There is no way I can answer that since I know little to nothing about the ship.

[Mynki]

Without knowing what is on offer I simply can't say. Not only would I need to understand the cabins and amenities on board, I'd need to see the itineraries also.

 

Generally speaking S class sailings are more costly than M class. So there's no prizes for guessing how E class fares will compare!

I want to answer this question HOWEVER I need more information on Edge Class ships before making comment.

 

Looking forward to Edge and what I think (hope) will be in the Edge design.

 

Celebrity's design of the Solstice Class ships was a home run, absolutely fantastic.

 

I full expect Celebrity to do even better on the Edge Class ships.

Why would one indicate they want to pay more to sail on the EDGE and thus encourage Celebrity to charge a premium price for this new class of ship?

I did not vote....I agree with the previous posters who want more information before thinking about finances...although the money part is a big factor (for me anyway). Need more info before deciding on percentages, etc.

Exactly!

Was the secrecy the same when the solstice class was at this same stage?

[SantaFeFan]

I am not voting. I have no idea what these ships will provide, both in amenities and in itineraries. They could be a complete dud, or a game changer. Until I have enough information to determine if I want to cruise on her, I don't have any idea how much I will be willing to pay. Just because she is the newest isn't enough. She needs to prove she can be satisfying to cruise on. And that won't be known until they release a lot of details about her.

Yes -RCCL/Celebrity are notorious for keeping info under wraps up until just before ship launch. When the first itineraries are announced expect a deck plan showing cabin/suite locations/category labels, but for all other spaces on the ship to be blank and labeled "more to come". As time goes on they will have multiple "announcements" slowly revealing dining, entertainment, bars/lounges, pool and fitness areas, etc. This is supposedly done to build excitement/anticipation.......

[TIMONEY]

At this point I would probably only pay less......

[Lastdance]

I would only pay what I thought it was worth IF the itinerary was right!

 

We all know that Celebrity loves all of these kinds threads...what if...how much...they eat this up. However, if the Edge does not deliver, it will be much to say about nothing...
