ImpulsivePuppy Posted May 10, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I am very intrigued about this new class of ship but there seems to be a dearth of information about it. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot on the X website that I can see. What do we know, or speculate at this point about The Edge Class? How are they different from the S and M Class? Are there any present concepts that are expanded? And, are the any pictures, concept art or other, of the ship, design, interior, etc? What itineraries will Edge sail? Thanks!

Here's one detail I know of... Edge class ships will attempt to extract as much money from your pockets as possible... and you thought it couldn't be worse than what's already on offer! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestLakeGirl Posted May 10, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Not much is known yet, everyone is waiting with great anticipation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisestitch Posted May 10, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I believe that the only information on the new ships so far is their size. A little smaller than the current solstice class ships. No information as to itinerary, design, interior, decor, or really anything has been released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkjretired Posted May 10, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) We usually don't hear anything until the first steal cutting and then info will come out in dries and drabs. Edited May 10, 2016 by dkjretired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QE2_Fan Posted May 10, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 10, 2016 These were posted on another existing thread on Edge. Some proposed concept cabin styles. No guarantee these will look anything like the final outcome. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly, the above renderings were not posted by Celebrity, so they may be worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHEZMARYLOU Posted May 10, 2016 #12 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I'm onboard Reflection and was told that they are planning to have 22 restaurants on each ship :eek: This would play into what we were told on Eclipse in March, no main dining room.

Blondie008 Posted May 10, 2016 #13 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I keep getting confused - I cruise both Celebrity and NCL - before X came up with this "Edge" - Norwegian released upgrading ships to "the Norwegian Edge" Seems so odd both lines using same marketing concept .. https://www.ncl.com/norwegian-edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QE2_Fan Posted May 11, 2016 #17 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Agreed Don. If I recall correctly, the above renderings were not posted by Celebrity, so they may be worthless. Totally agree! I didn't state they were not from Celebrity but why i mentioned the y are concept only - the actual will likely be quite different (and I hope so - I'm not a fan of these!). The original post was from apparently a 'tender' of submissions for cabin styles to Celebrity - but never seen any others than these so could well be someone who has too much time on their hands and created them on a whim! It's otherwise been so awfully quiet on the Project Edge front... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you!! Hi - if you do a search for 'Project Edge' a few threads should show up - this is the 'main' one but it doesn't really have a lot of detail - lots of speculation though which is half the fun of these threads! :p Hopefully Celebrity will loosen their tight lips on the new builds soon!:D http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2263454&highlight=project+edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ox Fan Cruiser Posted May 25, 2016 #19 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I remember reading many years ago that future cruise ships would be built with catamaran style hulls... Now if Celebrity were to be the first cruise line to do so they would be on the cutting "Edge". Could this be why there is such a hush hush over the new ship?

Quo Vadis? Posted May 26, 2016 #23 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The main question for us is whether the Edge class will replace the Millennium class or increase the size of the Celebrity fleet. We would like to see more itineraries not just the same old ones in a new ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starri Posted May 26, 2016 #24 Share Posted May 26, 2016 The main question for us is whether the Edge class will replace the Millennium class or increase the size of the Celebrity fleet. The C-class ships didn't finish their exit until well into the life of the S-class. I doubt we'll see the M-class leave much before 2022 or so.

Rare Hlitner Posted May 26, 2016 #25 Share Posted May 26, 2016 So, Madam Lisa talks about "premium" class and blah blah blah. But all we see are cut-backs...some so small they make little sense. No more fresh squeezed OJ, no unlimited bottled water in Aqua (which means water), live show orchestras replaced with pre-recorded stuff, etc etc. And then there are the alternative restaurants which have seen major price increases in the past few years with little or negative change in quality. All this coupled with major price increases. We only have one more Celebrity cruise booked, and it might be our last unless we see improvement. Keeping our fingers crossed since we have long enjoyed X. Hank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
