Excellent ship crew very friendly and efficient ship cleanliness excellent. Cabin excellent well positioned for me and very quiet. 3159. The food in the main restaurant and ocean view excellent you could not fault any aspect of it. We did trips ever day it docked whether with celebrity or other agents and all were of high quality and well organised. The only comment I will make is that the disembarking at Auckland needs assessing as was totally chaotic and not well organised people were allowed off while they were still unloading cases = one jam packed terminal &frayed tempers.

This was my ninth Celebrity cruise, but my first on an Edge Class ship. It was superb. The infinity balcony cabins are very spacious, comfortable and well equipped, and the en suite shower room is more spacious than on Solstice class. The cabins are also better sound-proofed. The entire ship is smart and luxurious, with plentiful deck and public spaces. Two things especially impressed me on the Edge - firstly the standard of service of all the crew, secondly the food. In all of the four inclusive dining rooms, and in the Oceanview buffet, the food was superb. Every meal was delicious.
