Some background on me to begin. I’m a 32 year old heterosexual male bachelor. Celebrity Edge was my 16th cruise overall, and the 9th that I’ve taken with Celebrity. Like many of my cruises, I sailed with my 76 yr old father who has some health issues. —And although, it’s a cruise to spend some father/son time together as we live in different states, he usually goes to bed quite early, and I enjoy the night life well into the wee hours of the morning… So, inevitably It ends up becoming a “singles” cruise for me.

Before, I review the actual ship, and give you a very detailed breakdown of what I saw, experienced, and everything that this cruise has to offer, It’s important for anyone not familiar with Celebrity, to understand what this cruise line is about… “Virgin” Celebrity cruisers are always surprised(some negatively, and mostly positively about the differences between Celebrity and other lines. This line is not for kids(although they’re allowed). —There are no slides, or virtually anything similar to a Carnival or Disney ship. This is a sleek modern line that charges a little more to have the luxury’s and the lack of headaches that other “mainstream” cruise lines deal with.

So, if you are looking for the family cruise with ice cream for the kids, and strollers everywhere, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. If you’re looking for the Carnival-Walmart (affordable booze cruise), THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. This is a sophisticated line that balances fun, copious amounts of alcohol, aesthetics, sex appeal, and adult-geared entertainment.

Cabin Review

Concierge Class Stateroom with Veranda

Cabin C3

STATEROOM: Infinite Veranda, Deck 12

The stateroom was gorgeous, and like others, I thoroughly enjoyed the tech and modern improvements over the solstice class cabins. Numerous outlets(including one in the bathroom). Also, a power box on the desk capable of plugging in two smart phones, as well as two additional conventional outlets. Also, an outlet beside the bed. The room has drastic improvements to the bathroom’s size, and shower size. All marble in bathroom.

Now to the stateroom balcony vs. infinite veranda debate…I personally enjoyed the infinite veranda concept. --It really does give you more space in the room along with a “patio feel” at sea. However, like others have mentioned, the locking of the windows at random times is a little frustrating, but not a huge deal. ---Like pretty much all cruise ship cabins, it was small and served it’s purpose. I am a 32 year old bachelor... and although I always get a balcony room on any ship that I sail on, I can’t tell you that I ever spend much time in my state room other than to sleep and get dressed. But, for what it’s worth, the state room was very nice, and modern. You are on a cruise ship to have a good time, and be around other people, and get some sun. —You can’t do any of those things by staying in your room.
