We booked this cruise because we wanted to try out the Celebrity Edge from Ft. Lauderdale to Europe. We were planning to leave the ship in Le Harve, France for a river cruise to Normandy, and saw this as an opportunity to easily travel the Atlantic. We got off in Le Harve the day before the ship sailed to Southampton.
First of all, I read the other review of the Edge Transatlantic, and I am thinking these people were not on my same cruise. To make a big deal over shampoo or sounds in the wind, give me a break! The ship is beautiful, had great service, great dining, great entertainment, and a relatively smooth sailing. I have been on many ships, including three trans Atlantics, and did not experience rough seas on this sailing. Maybe those people on the top decks should have been down on Ocean View cabins like me. We know better crossing the ocean.
Our cabin was on deck three near the front elevator. The only criticism I have for the cabin is having to walk the length of the ship every day to get to dining. The restaurants were at the back of the ship and we were on the front. It was near the theater. We liked the idea of being able to eat in 4 different restaurants every night and had no problems making reservations for early seating. The service was excellent and food choices plentiful. The buffet dining in the cafe was not good at night. There was very little choice, the same menus, and not as good as other ships we have been om.
