Balcony Overhang?:     None

Noise Issues?:  None                                                                                                                                            

                                                                                                                                                             

Wind Issues?:  Yes when underway depending on the speed of ship and direction of the surface wind.  The wind was no stronger than the wind on the Retreat Sun Deck.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

Connecting Cabin? No

Where Does it Connect?:   NA    

                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Suite Details: The two story suite has a master bedroom and bathroom on deck 16 with three hanging clothes closets, a closet with shelves, and lighted vanity cabinet with drawers.  The bathroom has plenty of storage, a large tube and large separate rain shower with a handheld spray shower. The main level (deck 15) has a 4 person dining room table, lounge area (hide-a-bed) and second bathroom with a rain shower with a handheld spray shower.  There is one hanging clothes closet and copious amounts of cabinet and drawer storage on the main level.   Everything is electronic via a control pad or switches.  There is a wine refrigerator, a drinks refrigerator, a cartridge coffee maker along with wine and drink glasses, and coffee cups.                                                                                                                                       

 

                                                                                                                                                              

Advantages/Problems/Comments:  The suite has direct access to Retreat Sun Deck from room upper level and direct access to Retreat Lounge via private hallway from room main level.  The plunge pool, which has water jets, bubbles, and colored lights, is great for sail-a-ways and after dinner unwinding.  The master bedroom is stunning to be able to wake up to views of the ocean.

The access to and from the Retreat Sun deck takes a little effort because of the outer storm door has a strong closing spring and some wind forces.                                                                                                                  

 

                                                                                                                                                              

Would You Book It Again?: Yes

Connecting Cabin? Where Does it Connect?:       No

                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Suite Details:                                                            Very nice, quiet port side well-designed suite, 30 seconds from  the elevator walking forward and stairs that go up to Luminae on deck 23.   Everything worked, nothing broken, lots of storage.  There is a window (which you can close) behind the bed going into the bathroom above the bathroom sink that allows you to see the sea from the sink, shower, and toilet (not if you are in the tub below the shower).  Mini-fridge under the desk and big TV, adequate chargers.  Wonderful AC, very responsive and quiet.

 

                                                                                                                                                               

Advantages/Problems/Comments:                                             I loved the bed facing the sea and the  option for daylight and sea views in the bathroom.

Only minor negatives:  the safe was too small for a laptop; the tub was a little shallow (good for entry/exit if you are a little unsteady, but a little limiting for deep  soaking); the balcony table was tiny, too small for a breakfast meal                                                      

 

                                                                                                                                                               

Would You Book It Again?:  yes

This thread is for Edge cabin information compilation. Please do not post cabin questions on this thread so that it can remain a place to post reviews of cabins. The spreadsheet has a tab at the bottom that describes the posting format and another tab that has terminology and tips for how to complete your review. There is also a tab for how to search the spreadsheet and another tab with Edge resources.

 

 

This is the Edge Class Cabin Spreadsheet:

To Search for a Cabin:

 

The search tool is pretty basic - it is the same as what is used for the S and M Class stickies. The How To Search tab has instructions and there is also a "How To Search" informational sheet with screen shots that I have linked below (there is also a link on the Search tab).

Balcony/Window View/Obstruction:      Could see window washing equipment looking aft (partial obstruction; not a big deal to us)

Connecting Cabin? Where Does it Connect?:       No

                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Suite Details:              N/A                                                                                                                                      

                                                                                                                                                              

Advantages/Problems/Comments:       Loved the cabin and quiet aft location. Good size bathroom with plenty of storage and liked the sink and spacious shower with Aqua Class shower spray options. Well-designed cabin regarding large-sized tv, electronic charger station, neutral colors, adequate storage space, sitting space, and room to move around. Some people prefer the traditional veranda, but I enjoyed the Infinite Veranda to add space and a small sitting room to the cabin.  Dh says he can see advantages to the Infinite Veranda but prefers the traditional veranda.  Veranda doors are frosted so you cannot see the ocean view when they are closed. We left the veranda doors open and the veranda window shut most of the time. Of course would have liked the veranda to be bigger, but this was the standard-size veranda unless in a suite or sunset veranda.                                                                                   

 

                                                                                                                                                              

Would You Book It Again:  A big YES. Definitiely!

Advantages/Problems/Comments:              Great cabin!        Attendant Putu kept everything in perfect order. Loved all the storage in room and bathroom. Bed was extremely comfortable.

Date of Cruise: January 2, 2022                                                                              Ship: Edge                                                                                                                    Cabin #: 9181                                                                                                          Deck #: 9                                                                                                                

Cabin Category: S2                          

Cabin Location:  Port Forward                                                                                Bed Position: Closer to interior, on your right as you enter the room, facing the balcony                                                                                                               

Balcony Type:  Traditional                                                                                        

Balcony/Window Size: 79 sq ft.                                                                       

Balcony/Window View/Obstruction: None 

Balcony Overhang?: No                                                                                          

Magic Carpet Issues?: N/A                                                                                      

Noise Issues?:  One very minor one. We were able to hear the thumping bass from the music in The Club late on a few nights, even though it was 4 decks directly below us.  Otherwise, it was exceptionally quiet. 

Wind Issues?: No

Connecting Cabin? Where Does it Connect?: No

      

Suite Details: 319 sq ft. Plenty of space to move about. Plenty of storage space.  The sofa is a full size pullout that could sleep 2. There was a round coffee table but no rocking chair as pictured in some stock photos and older videos.  The bathroom sink has lighting underneath that serves as an excellent nightlight. There is also a vanity with lighted make-up mirror and little stool to sit on. The shower/tub combo was VERY large, the shower had good pressure, and hot water was plentiful. Amenities included robes, slippers, a sewing kit, binoculars, two types of umbrellas, a laundry bag, a shoe shine bag, lip balms, body lotion, shower caps, body wash, shampoo and conditioner, bar soap, q-tips, mini fridge, small safe, daily bottled and canned water, and daily beach towels. We were also provided two Celebrity branded cloth facemasks, two different Celebrity-branded tote bags, and two small bottles of hand sanitizer.                                                                                                                                                                                            

Advantages/Problems/Comments: Our Retreat Personal Host Rene and our stateroom attendant Joy were fantastic. They made sure we didn't want for anything and were always visible in the hallways to greet us by name and wish us a good morning/good evening. We utilized Retreat access more than we thought we would and could easily have experienced nearly the entire cruise without leaving that area.                                              

 

Would You Book It Again?: I would book the same room type but not this location. Personally I would need something farther away from The Club.

Advantages/Problems/Comments:  Longer walk to elevators/stairs, which we enjoyed to get extra steps in.  We did feel some movement during the cruise.  Also had noise during docking (side thrusters) and later at night if you go to bed early (Eden music)           

                                                                                                                                                              

Would You Book It Again?: Yes

Date of cruise: Jan 30/22
Ship: Edge
Cabin #: 11268
Deck: 11
Cabin category: S1

Cabin location: completely aft

Bed position: next to closet/bathroom

Balcony type: traditional, quite large

Balcony/window view/obstruction: no obstruction; floor to ceiling windows/sliding door

Balcony overhang: about 3/4 covered

Magic carpet issues: none

Noise issues: none

Wind issues: none

Connecting cabin: no

Suite details: this large, aft Sky Suite was fantastic. Very quiet location with cabins above and below. Lots of storage space, desk space for the odd time I had to do some work, good sized coffee table for when we ordered room service (though it was a smidge low). 2 loungers, 2 deck chairs, and a small coffee table on the generously sized balcony. Fantastic location - just 2 floors up to the Oceanview cafe and 3 floors up and all the way forward to the Retreat Lounge. For us, it was just far enough away from everything to force us to get in our daily steps. Bathroom was huge - 4 people easily could have been getting ready in there at the same time with room to spare. Plenty of plugs between the "box" on the dresser and another socket next to the bed, plus a couple of USB ports. 
Advantages/problems/comments: A teeny tiny bit of soot on the balcony. My only complaint about the cabin layout was that if the cupboard door next to the bathroom was open, there was no room to get past it - you'd have to climb over the bed (really the most first world problem I can think of!)
Would you book it again? Absolutely!

Date of Cruise:    FEB 12, 2022

Cabin Location:  PORT SIDE CENTER OF MAGIC CARPET TRACK                                                                                                                                             

                                                                                                                                                              

Bed Position:      FACING WALL SIDEWAYS TO BALCONY

                                                                                                                                           

                                                                                                                                                              

Balcony Type:     OPEN BALCONY WITH GLASS BELOW RAIL                                                                                                                                             

 

Balcony/Window Size:  100 SF TOTAL DEEPER THAN MOST 2 CHAIRS 2 LOUNGERS 1 SMALL TABLE                                                                                                                                              

                                                                                                                                                        

Balcony/Window View/Obstruction:   GREAT VIEW STRAIGHT OUT OBSTRUCTED VIEW FORWARD AND AFT OVER RAIL,  NO OBSTRUCTION VISIBLE FROM INSIDE SUITE , VERY PRIVATE                                                                                                                  

                                                                                                                                                             

Balcony Overhang?:   YES DUE TO JUT OUT OF MAGIC CARPET TRACK BUT PLENTY OF SUN                                                                                                                                                   

                                                                                                                                                            

Magic Carpet Issues?:    NONE, IT NEVER MOVED FROM DECK 12                                                                                                                                                

                                                                                                                                                              

Noise Issues?:  YES. NOISE WAS FROM STEPS ,STOMPS AND BANGS FROM ABOVE MAYBE.  WORSE IN MORNINGS, SOMETIMES SOUNDED LIKE SOMEONE DOING JUMPING JACKS. ONE NIGHT LOUD BANGING IN WALL EARLY IN AM.   DOOR TO THE BATHROOM SLAMMED EVERY TIME IF YOU DIDN'T PUT A TOWEL THROUGH THE HANDLE.                                                      

                                                                                                                                                              

Wind Issues?:  NONE                                                                                                                           

                                                                                                                                                              

Connecting Cabin? Where Does it Connect?:  INSIDE CABIN CONNECTED BY AN INTERIOR HALL. THIS DID NOT CAUSE A LOT OF NOISE (SOME DOOR SHUTTING SOUNDS) BUT WE THOUGHT IT MADE OUR ROOM SMALLER AND IT MADE US HAVE TO OPEN TWO DOORS TO GET INTO OUR ROOM.  THIS WAS A PROBLEM WHEN FRIENDS CAME TO THE CABIN BECAUSE WE COULD NOT HEAR THEM KNOCK ON THE OUTER DOOR FROM INSIDE OUR CABIN.    

                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Suite Details:  FULL BALCONY VIEW WAS GREAT WHEN YOU ENTERED.  HARD 3/4 SOFA WITH A BUNCH OF PILLOWS.   COMFORTABLE BED WAS SIDEWAYS  TO THE BALCONY NOT FACING IT.  AUTOMATIC LIGHTS AND BLINDS AND BEST CLIMATE CONTROL WE HAVE EVER HAD ON A SHIP.                                                                                     

                                                                                                                                                              

Advantages/Problems/Comments:  WE LIKED THIS ROOM ESPECIALLY THE BIG BALCONY BUT THERE WERE A FEW PROBLEMS WITH IT.  THE CLOSET WAS SMALL AND HARD TO GET INTO BECAUSE IT WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE BED AND ONLY THE FRONT HALF OPENED.  THERE WAS A STATIONARY RACK HALFWAY DOWN THAT DID NOT MOVE THAT WAS IN THE WAY OF HANGING ANYTHING BUT A VERY SHORT BLOUSE WITHOUT WRINKLING IT.  IN MOST CLOSETS THIS HALF RACK FOLDS UP IF YOU NEED TO HANG LONGER ITEMS BUT HERE IT WAS SOLIDLY IN THE WAY BLOCKING THE BEST HALF OF THE CLOSET .  WE DIDN'T LIKE THE SMALL DESK AND WOULD HAVE LIKED SOME LARGER SHELVES AND A MIRROR THAT ADJUSTED UPWARD AT THE DRESSING TABLE BUT THOSE WERE SMALL ISSUES.  THE BATH ROOM WAS NICE, WE LIKED HAVING A DOOR ON THE TOILET AREA.  COMPARED TO THE SKY SUITES ON "S" CLASS WE THOUGHT THIS ONE HAD LESS STORAGE AND FUNCTIONALITY.

THE BATHROOM WAS NICER HERE THAN S CLASS BUT I MISSED THE DEEPER TUB.          

                                                                                                                      

                                                                                                                                                              

Would You Book It Again?: I THINK NEXT TIME WE WOULD BOOK AN S2 BECAUSE OF THE CLOSET.  OUR BALCONY WAS BIGGER THAN IN AN S2 SO IT WOULD BE A CLOSE CALL.

Cabin #:            15106                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Deck #:       15 and 16 (2-story suite)

Cabin Location:   Forward (right next door, literally, to the Retreat Lounge, and upstairs door leads to Retreat sundeck).  The downstairs door leads to a private lounge door that allows us to pop right into the lounge.  The upstairs door leads right to the Retreat sundeck.                                                                                                                                                                                             

Bed Position:   Second floor, facing floor to ceiling windows.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Balcony Type:    Large balcony with large jetted hot tub                                                                                 

Balcony/Window Size:  Lots of windows everywhere, including 2-story window to balcony                                                                                                                                                             

Balcony/Window View/Obstruction: None                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Balcony Overhang?: None                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Magic Carpet Issues?:  None                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Noise Issues?:   Lots of closets with wood hangers.  When ship sways the hangers can bang against each other to create banging noise.  Resolved by pushing the hangers together so they don't bang against each other.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Wind Issues?:   Windy on balcony when sailing                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

Connecting Cabin? Where Does it Connect?:  None  

                                             

Suite Details: 2-story suite.  Beautiful and luxurious.

 

Full bathroom downstairs with living room.  Two mini-fridges that are stocked daily with whatever drinks are desired.  Espresso machine.  Large dining table.  Jetted hot tub and large balcony.  Room steward will fill hot tub upon request.  Lovely to grab cocktails from the Retreat sundeck  bar that's right outside our suite and hang out on our own private hot tub and enjoy the beautiful view.

 

Bedroom upstairs with master bath.                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

Advantages/Problems/Comments:              

First floor door leads to a side door directly to the Retreat lounge.  Second floor door leads to Retreat sundeck.  Very easy to pop into the lounge to grab drinks/snacks, and to pop into the sundeck to grab cocktails.

 

2-story setup provides a nice roomy feeling, like living in a condo.  HOWEVER, climbing up and down the steps multiple times a day did get a bit old.

                                                                                                    

                                                                                                                                    

Would You Book It Again?:  Yes.

Ship:                Apex

 

Cabin:             12263

 

Deck:               12

 

Category:        SV

 

Location:        Middle Aft

 

Bed Position:  Near balcony

 

Balcony Type: Traditional

 

Balcony Size:  Oversized- Fit 2 loungers and 2 chairs with small table. It was a bit crowded so we put one of the chairs into our stateroom, between bed and balcony. SV cabins have extra space in this area.

 

Obstruction:   None

 

Overhang:      Normal, balcony was large enough to move lounger into the shade or sun based on what we wanted during the day

 

Noise Issues?  We could hear chairs scraping the ground as crew cleaned in the morning and late evening. Noticeable, but not enough for it to bother us.

 

Wind Issues?   None

 

Connecting Cabin?     N/A

 

Advantages/Problems/Comments?      Chairs scraping above as previously mentioned. Long walk to elevator, but we need this to walk off the extra calories we take in during a cruise.

 

Would you book again?        Yes, we enjoyed this cabin

Advantages/Problems/Comments:   Advantages: Large Stateroom. Great layout with sofa near slider. Balcony big enough for loungers. Loved this cabin! Very quiet location on ship. No noise from others on balcony. Beautiful wake view.   Some soot in the morning. Stateroom attendant left fresh beach towels for the loungers each day so not an issue.

This thread is being used for both Apex and Edge. (just look for the Ship: line near the top of each review.)  These two ships are almost identical but Beyond is different enough that it probably warrants it's own spreadsheet.

This thread was intended for Edge class ships, which would include Beyond and future sister ships. The spreadsheet has not been maintained since the tragic death of its creator.

the pluses.  The new veranda design is great. It provides more useable space when open.  The sliding exterior glass is nice for just the right amount of cabin ventilation.   A+ on that design element. 
a desktop that can disappear is also a nice element. 
 

a minus.   The drawers are smaller.  This sounds like no big deal, but for us it is inconvenient. I use travel cubes to pack shirts and slacks…. These cubes are too large for use in Apex’s drawers.  Too bad as I now have to unpack and repack my clothing rather than plopping a travel cube in a drawer.   The result for me is more wrinkles.

Advantages/Problems/Comments:   Excellent location.  BUT, being under the OCV, I've checked very carefully the deck plans, and found this cabin which is located just under the ladies RR, so no noise of moving chairs/tables...
