The specialty restaurants are worth indulging in if you have the availability to do so. During our sailing, the Celebrity Edge was almost at full capacity but the service did not lack. With the hospitality industry, especially the cruise industry being where it is right now, they deserve so much respect. Overall, with every single greeting, and conversation, we had nothing but positive, genuine service. This service surpassed allergies, though. With my (Shannon) tree nut allergy, mom has a stone fruit allergy, the dining/restaurant staff bent over backward for us to make sure that we were safe. Yes, we have issues and we are seeking therapy for them, but that is for another blog post. To give you an example, on the last day of our trip, knowing it would be the final time we would be seeing many of the staff, we avoided the last encounter so that we would not cry. We really cannot explain how wonderful the service was on our sailing. It is very easy! The Service Aboard Celebrity Edge The app will show if you do not go through this briefing, so make sure that you do, and check in at your muster station before sailing. Here is information from their website which shows an infographic of the guest safety briefing. We were allowed to watch it from our room, which was nice. The muster drill was very easy, and again, has changed since the pre-covid days. This complimentary test will be administered onboard. Lastly, regarding children, unvaccinated children may only go ashore with their families, on a shore excursion provided by Celebrity Cruises. Also, before re-entry into the U.S., they must take another COVID-19 test. At the time of our sailing, unvaccinated children are required to take a COVID-19 test before embarkation, just like adults, but of course, they do not provide vaccination information. These may change before your sailing, so please check if you book. These questions went through current symptoms if any.Ĭhildren– there are different rules regarding children. On embarkation day, we answered another health questionnaire via the app. Two days before sailing, we had to have a covid test and provide those results at the port before walking inside the Celebrity terminal. Just go through the steps of the app and you will be fine. This photo, in the app though, is used ahead of time to match your passport. The nice young man allowed us to take ours over quickly, but we cannot promise this will be allowed all the time. We thought we would just take a morning blah photo, but found out at embarkation by a very nice staff member that it would be our “go-to photo”. You will also take a selfie, so doll up friends! Heads up, this will be seen by all staff when you enter anywhere and pay for anything, so be prepared. You will also enter your payment information so that it is loaded into the app to take care of your folio charges on the ship. There is a health questionnaire you will answer. Scanning a copy of your passport, entering your covid-vaccine information, etc. The app takes you step-by-step through exactly what you need to do before embarkation day. Celebrity Edge begins its pre-boarding and embarkation process with its app. It seems that technology has advanced post-covid.

The Magic Carpet protrudes and is suspended from the starboard side of the ship. The Edge is the first ship with the “ Magic Carpet” experience- though we will discuss our experience with that a bit later in the need to know section. Of course, due to the pandemic, it still feels like a very new ship since it had some downtime and low usage, like most cruise ships over the past few years.
