The Celebrity Edge is a floating paradise. The ship is stunning, the food is excellent, the rooms spacious (you'll love the shower), and the crew is outstanding. Every crew member we encountered went out of their way to ask how we liked our trip, if we needed anything, was there anything we needed. The crew to passenger ratio is 1-2 and it shows. You never have to look far for a crew member. The Edge has 4 main complimentary dining rooms, and while most of the menu is the same across them, each has a few "specialties" based on a theme-Italian, French, Greek, American. We only went to a few shows-don't miss "Eden"-on the 5th floor (but be prepared-they use incense and it is strong!)-sensual and visually stunning. The casino is roomy and the entire ship is smoke free except for small areas on the 2 upper decks. Celebrity caters to an older, wealthier crowd, but they treat all passengers with the same quality service, and every passenger we met was friendly and easy going. You can find less expensive cruise lines, but you won't get the same service, amenities and atmosphere as the Edge. If you want the trip of a lifetime, this is it.
