The first priority was to enjoy your vacation and all that the Edge (and the lovely ports) had to offer. I'm really enjoying your slower-paced review. 😊 We want you to feeeel Edge rocking gently on the waves. Loooose yourself in the glory of fifteen - count them - fifteen fabulous days sailing between sea and sky. Each day a new adventure. Will your face be caressed by the sun as Edge glides effortlessly along the water, or will you find your sea legs (hint - knees always slightly flexed, as in skiing) in a tempest? Do you feeeel the gentle rocking? Do you see the many venues awaiting you? Will you have a martini or an espresso? A massage or a nap on a lounger? And your temporary abode? Miraculously, each time you return to it, elves have cleaned or tidied it! There's always something beautiful and fun here on the Edge😎🍹 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our shots weren't wide enough to include the ship, so I didn't post them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silkroad Posted May 23, 2019 Author #356 Share Posted May 23, 2019 This night, we dined in Cyprus with our friends. Following our lovely dinner, we skipped the show in favor of our evening stroll around the ship. Since it was still rainy, we had the upper decks to ourselves... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was by far the best ship we have been on, of course there is always room for improvement on the next builds to make them even better:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was by far the best ship we have been on, of course there is always room for improvement on the next builds to make them even better:) I agree that some of the most vocal Edge critics still insist that she’s a failure, and most of them haven’t even sailed on her. While working on this review, I’ve been thinking about how I feel about Edge. I think she’s a beautiful ship, and I enjoyed every one of my 15 days aboard her. She does have some design and furnishing issues, but Celebrity has been reacting to passenger feedback on these areas. Ditto for early criticism about entertainment and activities. I would happily sail Edge class again, though I do want to see fixes to some of the design issues, and price is a consideration. I also want to see Celebrity continue to try to offer live entertainment that is varied enough to appeal to everyone. And now...it’s time to post another daily🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtcruising Posted May 24, 2019 #362 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Michelle, I'm not sure if you saw this new Edge Entertainment overview. When you have time to look at it, I would love to know if you have any idea if these changes had already been made on the TA. I know you said the Edenist show was only done 4 times on your cruise. I will go back through all of your dailies too now that I have this info and may be able to learn more.

The audio was so much better on the TA. 😊 Also we discovered Live Band Karaoke in the Club. It was very entertaining, if you’re up late. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom right is...what happens on Edge stays on Edge! Love these and many more.. Vt..or someone .Might be a good place to re post the link to the EDGE ART BOOK.. I hope I saved that link to use for my Nov EDGE Art Crawl! Have not yet asked on the roll call if anyone else is interested..There are mostly EDGE first time guests so maybe they will plan a more trad cabin crawl. I think many who are very fond of EDGE, have followed it from the beginning and have a protective view....even while noting flaws and issues needing improvement, EDGIES see the vision going forward! Seems X is still in listening and improvement mode..gets .better every cruise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was $10 PP, but with the seafood, it must be more. Someone said they were doing brunch twice/cruise now, but no breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silkroad Posted May 24, 2019 Author #373 Share Posted May 24, 2019 This was a very lazy day for us. After days of eating more than we normally do, we were ready for a light dinner in the OVC. We did go to the theater for the 9:30 show, because I wanted to see Katerina Rossa. She put on an excellent show, but her playing didn't reach me the way Cello 2 Cello's did (especially their evening performance). I did try to get video of one piece, but I failed. I was entertained by her seamless transition from elegant classical soloist playing classical pieces to bombshell rocker playing a flawless cover of "Highway to Hell"😜 We were trying, unsuccessfully, to make it a fairly early night, because the next day was Bilbao.☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did notice that there was at least one brunch (maybe two) but we were underwhelmed by the pay extra for a buffet concept. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the dailies, I see that it was actually performed six times (by my count, anyway) on our fifteen night cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
