We explore an unusual stateroom, Celebrity Apex room 11160. This S3 Sky Suite is on the end of the Magic Carpet track and has some unique qualities - some of which we came to love. Access to The Retreat areas and amenities are another great plus - which you can learn about in our Retreat video linked below. This should be nearly identical to Celebrity Edge room 11160...

When Celebrity Edge set sail as the first cruise ship leaving the US with guests in over 15 months, it came after a lot of planning, preparation, and of course certain new rules in place to ensure the safety of guests, crew, and those in the communities the ship visits.  For those looking to sail Celebrity Edge, or any other ship in the near future, we thought it’d be helpful to go over some of the COVID related rules, as well as our experience from being on the first two Celebrity Edge cruises back...

Celebrity Cruises finest accommodations come as part of The Retreat experience, which offers exclusive lounges and dining options, top-notch service, and other perks.  We were recently enjoyed The Retreat on Celebrity Edge, aboard the first cruise to return to service from the US in over 15 months.  In this video we highlight our Sky Suite, and discuss various parts of what makes The Retreat experience much more than just a larger stateroom.

On June 26 Celebrity Edge became the first cruise ship to sail from the US in over 15 months.  We’ve been on board four days now, and as a cruise blogger, I keep getting asked about restrictions.  This makes sense, as myself and every other traveler with a keyboard has been trying to predict the future for a year – and we were all wrong...

On June 26th, Celebrity Edge made history as the first cruise ship to sail from the US in over 15 months.  We're onboard (so make sure you follow our social media accounts below) and were invited to enjoy sail away from Magic Carpet at a special party hosted by Royal Caribbean Group's CEO, Richard Fain...

Celebrity Edge will make history on Saturday June 26th, 2021 as she's the first ship to cruise from the US since the start of the pandemic.  While another Celebrity ship, Celebrity Millennium, has been sailing from St Maarten for several weeks (check out our live blog from the first sailing), tomorrow represents a massive step forward in a return toward normal and the recovery of the cruise industry.

We're going to be onboard this sailing, so after the details below, check out how you can follow along and get your questions answered!

We've poured over deck plans and other documents, and have some inside tips on what's new when comparing Celerity Edge and Celebrity Apex.  Let's go deck by deck to enjoy some photos and identify changes we know of as of late October 2020.  We're sure we'll find many other changes once onboard - from furniture to stateroom features - so at the end, we'll talk about some things that we know aren't changing...

People of all types have a variety of career ambitions, yet only about one in fifty mariners is a woman.  Earlier this month, a team of talented women made history on the high-seas, as Celebrity Edge became the first cruise ship to be lead by an all-female bridge team and onboard leadership team.  This fantastic achievement is another step in the pursuit of equality under the line's thoughtful leadership of Lisa Lutoff-Perlo...

Since I was a kid I've found the final day of any cruise to be depressing, and while I've become better at this, I suspect it's like dividing a prime number: I'll never reach zero.  The good news is that the final day of our Celebrity Edge sailing was gorgeous, and I don't think we could have spent it any better than we did.  While relaxing, we also managed to check off a few items we'd neglected thus far into the sailing.  One of them you'll see, seems to have been word play...

Grand Cayman doesn’t have a cruise terminal, requiring ships tender (take small water shuttles) from the ship.  Some see this as inconvenient, but it’s also makes for a scenic way to arrive.  I went to bed last night hoping the weather would hold so that tender operations were able to take place, and in the final hour of our arrival, the sea smoothed out nicely.
