Slot machine sucked but ship was nice
The ship was nice, clean and new. No long lines at buffet and food was of good quality (deserts were hit or miss). We tried the food in all of the 4 non premium dining halls and liked Cyprus (Mediterranean) the best exclusive menu choices & ambiance, followed by Normandie (French), followed by Cosmopolitan (new American) and Tuscan (Italian) least favorite both menu choices and decor. Getting on the ship and off the ship including tender was done very well and one of the best I have experienced. The ship never felt cramped (might not have been full) but there were more kids than normal due to the promotion. Our cabin was a ocean view stateroom comped by the casino, the room was well furnished and adequately spacious for two of us. However, we head grinding noise from above (like chairs or tables were being dragged) especially at night. Doing anything on 16th floor was a challenge especially at night with strong wind and this is where the movies were projected at night. Worst slot casino payout on the sea I have ever been and this was an opinion shared by many who were the casino playing both tables and slots. I played exclusively slots on all but one night (7 night cruise) and sunk several K without hitting any kind of jackpot once and didn't see anyone else hit one either during the time I was there. However, the casino staff was courteous.

The tap your card would be green - and unless you are watching it all the time, which I was not, it would turn red at some point, while I was still playing. No clue how many points I lost. As far as machines go, most pretty tight, but I spent a lot of time figuring out what worked best and at what bet. Still lost in long run, but not as bad as it could have been! The worst machines were Spin Its. The lightening machines (except the ones with horses) were pretty good but not max bets. I played 2 cents at $3 and close to that equivalent at 5 cents and $5 at 10 cents. The various other "Chinese" machine were pretty good as well. Heidi machine was HOT at max bet ($6) for first couple of days. Lock-It machines liked 2 cent bets ($5 and $10). Wheel of Fortune machines not so hot. I played various other machines, but ones I mentioned were the bigger payers. Ship itself lovely, upgraded to suite with Butler. Buffet for lunch very good, most of the restaurants decent. Eden was the only specialty restaurant I went to and it was $55 pp - and very good. I also went to Luminae but that is just for suite guests. One other issue with casino - hard pressed to get a drink in there, not enough staff. BTW, if you like to read on ships, note this is the only ship I have ever been on that did NOT have a library.

I liked the ship; however, I did not get to play the slots often because the ones I wanted were always in use. I agree about no library as my daughter always checks out books in addition to the ones she had downloaded. She ran out of books to read. We had an infinite balcony which did make the room larger; however, we missed being on an actual balcony.

Just got off this morning. Absolutely the most beautiful ship ever. Casino very nice selection of games and nonsmoking!!! Staff very friendly. Worse payouts for me ever. Still I loved the ship. Great martini bar, Luminae, steakhouse, and Raw on 5. Did not like Tuscan only free dining we tried. Need another week on her! Met Captain Kate for one on one! Goal accomplished!

Beautiful ship. Aqua class, Blu and the thermal suites were amazing. Very fun casino - casino staff is wonderful with fast drink service. Andreea, the casino hostess, checked in on us nightly and comped our speciality dinners on the last night. The ship hosted casino tournaments were very fun!! Thanks URcomped!!

The Celebrity Edge is a beautiful ship. We stayed in an Infinite Veranda stateroom which was very nice with ample storage and larger bathroom. We did miss having a standard balcony area and did not make use of the slide down window feature very much. The selection of four main dinning rooms to choose from made for a lot of dining options. Normandy and Cypress were our favorites with outstanding food followed by Tuscan and Cosmopolitan. The martini bar, magic carpet and and other bars through out the ship were all vey nice. Lots of spaces to relax and enjoy the cruise! The casino pay outs were terrible for me but I did see two people hit $20,000 on $1 machines. I think however most people did not have much of any wins in the casino. It was disappointing to spend so much and get little playtime in return. Andrea, the casino host was very pleasant and greeted us several times during the cruise. They also had a slot tournament and hot seat free play giveaways. I would love to cruise in a suite on this ship in the future. Thanks Urcomped for introducing me to the Celebrity Edge.

We LOVED this ship! Weren't there an hour and we wished we'd booked a B2B. We had an Aqua class room, loved it, but still not sure about the new balcony concept. Rarely used it because the ceiling on it was the same height as the room and it got super humid super fast..................... The buffet was incredible. The head pastry chef for Celebrity was on this ship, and while I'm not big into desserts, they looked incredible! The displays at the buffet were like I've never seen before, and the food was delicious - best buffet ever. Food in the 4 main dining rooms and Blue was an 8 out of 10, and didn't have time for a specialty restaurant!............. Did great in the casino, after a week of heavy playing ended up $1500 up so it's all good. Looking forward to sailing on the Apex in October!!
