This ship might be right for you but not even close for us. Well, where do I start? The positives are a short list. So let’s start there. The ship is beautiful, IF you like that type of ambiance. Glass, glass, glass not 100% clean, lots of steel and marble looking flooring. The crew is the most wonderful crew I have ever been with. 70 cruises and they were the nicest and most helpful they could have been. Celebrity picked the cream of the crop for the crew. OK, that is it for the positives. Now, Not talking about temperature, it has a very cold feeling. Hard and void of color. 90% of the seating is not comfortable at all. Either not cushioned at all or thin cushioned hard seats. Most seats are impossible to sit back on unless you are 8ft. tall. If you scoot back on the seat, you feel like a little child with your feet straight out. On deck 15 for get it completely. Total waste. There is no sitting comfortable at all unless you are eating. By the way, check out the specialty dining prices. Not worth those prices. Unbelievably high. So far out of wack. Stained carpeting throughout the ship. No excuses for that at all. The show at the EDEN is a total joke. Look at several YouTube videos of the ship. Especially that one. You will laugh and scratch your head wondering what the heck are they doing. Hopping around, jumping like frogs etc. Lots of wood statues that look stupid, one big black horse on deck 15 totally out of place on any ship. So much wasted space. On deck 5 from the elevators to the BLUE dining. You walk through a hall that is blacked out with sparkled flooring that is lit with ultraviolet lighting. The walls are all mirrors. More wasted space. Not enough places to enjoy in the evenings. Very few bars. The music is very limited to say the least. Only ONE location on the ship and is crowded most of the time. Deck 3,that is the martini bar. Not big at all with very limited seating. Those seats are Okay. Many sit at the cappuccino bar on deck 4 directly above the martini bar to listen to music on deck 3 coming from the martini bar. Those seats are NOT comfortable at all. Activities are very limited. Disco dancing with head phones to hear the music. A few trivia’s where you use paper and pencil. Other trivia where you use an iPad or iPhone to play. If you are not super, super fast. There is no way you will win. Very few of those anyhow. Instead of Bingo they have Deal or No Deal. That is also a big rip off. You pay $25.00 for a card that has the 20 cases on them. A random pick of who will play. There are 2 games per session. That was twice during the cruise. As the person that was picked to pay, picks a case, you turn over your case on the card to reveal the amount. If it matches theirs, you have one case that is good. You must get at least two, to get anything. The first 6 tiers are nothing more that match play in the casino. Meaning if you get two cases you now win $5 for match play all the way up to $200 match play. Then you must get 7 matching cases to win $500 and 8 matching to win $1000 the most I saw was 4 matching and they won $50 match play. Meaning you come up with $50 and they give you $50 to play in the casino. It is not cash. The only person that gets cash is the actual person playing that got picked. One person got $1.00, another $50.00, another $125 and the last was $396. The vast majority only got one case that matches. No Bingo, We miss bingo. Yes one slot tournament 7 day cruise. They had only one regular tournament. $25.00 to play. Only a 2 min. game. There were two free ones. Those were 1 min long. They gave away fake earrings. The last tournament was for women only on woman’s day. Same winnings. They have archery, I played, once and got the highest score. You get nothing. They call it an experience not a competition. They do not have a mini golf on the ship. They have putting on the carpet in the EDEN on deck 5. You putt to get it in a cup for points and the winner gets a prize. How exciting!

They have 4 dining rooms. We did not eat in any of them, so I cannot say anything about those. We ate in the buffet. What we did eat was good. However, unless you are a master of the world, there is no way you know what is in those pots. I cannot ever pronounce most of what they were serving. Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Asian. Also Grilled, pork chops, minute steak, chicken, fish 98% of this exactly the same every lunch and dinner. Most of the deserts were all cake. EVERY DAY, lunch and dinner 98% the same. One roasted pig, with the head. Roasted duck. Enough pork every day to stuff a horse. I was told we missed the southern fried chicken. Do not know how. My wife had the New England clam chowder. It was so spicy she could not eat it. Since when do you spice up that? Even the roasted potatoes were very spicy. Most all even said spicey on the name plate. Only the soup was hot, temperature wise. . Nothing else was hot. Mostly warm to actually cold for the hot items. The meatloaf was actually cold, not even warm. Isn’t the food to be at a certain temperature to keep it safe? The buffet in the evening was sparse with people. Guess most ate in the 4 dining rooms and the specialty restaurants. The burgers were good and the fry’s. The hot dogs were not good. They had breaded fish. Not fried long enough. The inside of the coating was not done, gooey. Also, I do not like warm fish. The blood line, the black stuff. A lot of it. Gives it that old fish taste, Terrible. The mashed potatoes had a lot of the black that you usually cut out of the potato. The layout of the ship it dumb. At the stern is the pizza, mid ship is the buffet forward past the Olympic pool is the burgers and fry’s. That is a long walk. All other ships put those close to the buffet. The is no way to stay out of the rain going from the buffet to the burgers.

Never had a chance to try the magic carpet. It was either locked or dining time. Once on deck 5 it was open but totally packed. When dining, it was on deck 14. The table cloths and the women’s hair were blowing all over the place. How can you eat in that condition? All the seating between the buffet and the mast grill get soaked when it rains. I am not talking about the lounge chairs by the pool either. Lunch at the EDEN “Forget it”. Sandwiches and soup. Not only do they have very little. There is no seating with tables to eat at. Woops, yes there were 4, 2 seats each. The state room was small but nice. Drab, no color. The sink was way too long taking up a lot of counter space. The shower stall was excellent and big. The toilet has a fast short flush. Guess to save on water. Problem, you needed to flush it 2 or 3 times for all to be disposed of. One guy told us he like the sink to wash his clothes in the nice big sink. Really! I am posting a few pictures. You may laugh. One is the soap they give you. It has coarse something in it. Looks like ants. You look at it. No sense posting pictures of the ship. You can see them all over Google. Cabin was the ocean view,regular window. Read more
