With its luxurious accommodations, unparalleled dining, and extraordinary onboard experience, the Celebrity Edge breaks the mold and sets a new standard for modern cruise travel. The ship's most unique feature is its Magic Carpet, a cantilevered deck that hovers over the water and travels up and down the ship over 16 decks, its function changing as it moves. When on Deck 2, the Magic Carpet is a tender platform for passengers waiting for transfer to shore; when on Deck 16, it becomes an open-air restaurant.

The Magic Carpet isn't the ship's only innovative feature. Modeled after an Italian piazza, the Grand Plaza is a breathtaking three stories high and serves as the ship's lobby. The popular Martini Bar sits at the center of the Grand Plaza, and the talented mixologists behind the bar put on a show as they flip bottles in the air and balance glasses on their heads.
The ship's accommodations have also reached a new level of luxury thanks to their Suite Class rooms, which includes a two-story villa with a private plunge pool. Another exciting feature is the addition of Infinite Verandas, which are available in Aqua Class, Concierge Class, and other Edge Staterooms, and which provide access to the ocean breeze at the touch of a button. Staterooms at every level have the refined, contemporary style of a luxury urban apartment.
Celebrity Edge receives high praise for its modern design, attentive service, and excellent food, with many guests calling it one of the best cruise experiences they've had. The ship's cleanliness, innovative features, and friendly crew are frequently highlighted. However, some guests express disappointment with the infinite veranda concept, pricing for extras, and occasional issues with excursions and entertainment. Overall, the ship is recommended for its upscale experience, though a few guests prefer older Celebrity ships or found certain aspects lacking.
Service on Celebrity Edge is consistently described as outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to ensure guest satisfaction. Many reviewers mention the crew's friendliness, professionalism, and attention to detail.
