kstetser Posted July 24, 2021 #26 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Thanks so much - we are considering jumping ship from the Disney Fantasy to the Edge in September. We have never sailed anything but Disney before, but I'm reading great things about Celebrity and Edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having only sailed Disney once, I can’t speak too much to the comparison but the food and service on Edge were far better than my DCL sailing. My parents have done 5 DCL, including big ones like Panama Canal and Transatlantic, and they agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare GeorgiaPeach51 Posted July 24, 2021 #28 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Wonderful review! I agree on just about everything....we really hope they add shade to those pool and open areas. It is just blazing hot and we limit our sun exposure as much as we can. Glad you enjoyed the ship and Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eden the dinner restaurant is a fee specialty option. I believe you meant to say no charge for breakfast or lunch at Eden Cafe. Dinner in Eden is a Specialty Restaurant.

You'll love the Equinox!!! Great job on your review of your cruise on the Edge. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you enjoyed the ship and Celebrity. There are some shaded areas but unfortunately they're not necessarily by the pool. The original pool deck renderings had some unusual flower-like umbrellas but those never materialized. Why they don't place some regular umbrellas around the pool deck is beyond me.

crusingnut Posted July 25, 2021 #34 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Great review! Love the Edge ship, we sailed her the first year she came out. I agree with you re the ramp area of the Eden. I'm an early riser and would go there w/book & double latte from Cafe Bacio. The music they piped in was very relaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCoachRentz Posted July 25, 2021 #35 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Excellent! We leave this Saturday and are so excited. For those heading to Nassau, Junkaroo Beach is a fantastic option vs the Hilton. The Tiki Bikini Hut is a must stop. Great locals and a fun time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schreck48 Posted July 25, 2021 #38 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Thanks for a great review, especially since we have the same cabin for a sailing on the 21st of August. Loved all the pictures, the food looks wonderful! Jane from TN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a noon arrival time and I was holding my SeaPass at my door at 12:12. They did not let anyone through security before noon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimlovesfl Posted July 25, 2021 #41 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) 66 not cool enough! That is positively arctic! I would be wearing tights, long underwear, turtlenecks, sweatshirts, sweatpants or jeans, a jacket and gloves at that. I generally keep my ac in a cabin or hotel room off, because it gets so cold. I keep my ac on 80 at home. When you live where it is at least 90 for several months, that is a big difference in temp when going from outside to inside. This was an excellent review. We have yet to sail on the Edge. The Equinox is our favorite ship. I'm sure you'll love it. Edited July 25, 2021 by kimlovesfl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMc&DrS Posted July 26, 2021 #42 Share Posted July 26, 2021 We were on the July 3rd sailing and did the same three excursions you did (except we did Maho on our own). We, too, liked the Hilton in Nassau, but also found the food took forever. Luckily, we ordered right at noon (a pizza, some mozzarella sticks, and a sandwich). We finally ate a little after 1 PM. That was really the only negative thing about the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
