Vacation Recap! – All About the brand new Celebrity Edge

Updated: Mar 19, 2019

My family and I had THE BEST time on Celebrity Cruises. It was beyond luxurious and such a great vacation for the kid's spring break.


Westcott spring break on Celebrity Cruises.
Getting fancy for dinner with the family!

As a family, we love to travel! One of the easiest ways to vacay in style, and one of our favorites – cruises! My husband Court only likes to travel on new ships because he gets a first-look at them, so we booked our trip on the Celebrity Edge about three years in advance... crazy town! 


This traveling circus of a family could not have had a better time, as the kids get a little bit older they are appreciating all the fun even more! We sailed out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and our stay there was fabulous as well!


Before reading any further I should mention that if you book before April 3, kids sail FREE! ~ https://bit.ly/2IYL5Gf

Our Room - Iconic Suite





The iconic suite... professionally named just for me! Kidding!!! You guys, I have never had even a HOTEL room that was as fabulous as our penthouse on this cruise was. With a nautical white, gray and blue theme, this room was just beyond. It makes you feel like you are on top of the world, with views from all directions front to back. 


At almost 2000 square feet it is more than enough room for any family with accommodations for 6 guests.


The views from all angles were spectacular, the private Jacuzzi and balcony were our favorite hangout spots. There was even a swing in the room and a flatscreen TV that folded out of the ceiling over the master bed!




The bathroom was bigger than my bathroom at home in Dallas... and that's saying something (LMAO.)

Our suite came with a manager who was there to help us with everything for our entire stay, including my issues connecting to the WiFi, which was probably just a "blonde thing" and turned out being hysterical.

Kids Club –


Amazing. Cruise made slime one day! The bigger kids went on a scavenger hunt. Hilton made a friend and they came back every day with so many fun stories, they couldn't stop talking about it!

Spa –


I got a deep tissue massage, I fell asleep and I NEVER fall asleep! The rocking of the boat just put me to sleep! The Masseuse was fabulous, she did a great job. 

The spa itself was fabulous because it was so relaxing. The "relaxation room" has an ocean view, that was my favorite part!

Entertainment –


Kaleidoscope show was super fun, the music was awesome, kids stayed engaged the whole time. The dancers were phenomenal, this was my favorite show on the ship!

Dining - 


Le Petit Chef and Friends - Augmented realty dinner! They had 3D animations on the table during dinner from the little chef preparing the food to servers serving it, it was amazing!!


Eden - Show & eat-in restaurant was characters walking around to interact with guests as they eat, the kids loved it!The food was super exotic, but they accommodated the children by getting food from other restaurants on the boat and brought it to this restaurant for us!


Fine Cut Steakhouse - This was our first meal on the boat, the kids ate their WHOLE steaks... definitely my favorite meal onboard!




Your Questions –
