What makes it different?

Magic Carpet

A 90-ton moving platform that glides up and down the side of the ship. It serves as a bar, restaurant and tender station on different decks. Only on Edge class.

Eden

A three-story space with a garden, bar, restaurant and live performances. It blends nature, art and cuisine. Nothing like it exists on any other ship.

Infinite Verandas

Balconies that merge with the room when you open the glass. The space transforms and feels twice as big. Patented by Celebrity.

The Retreat

Exclusive suite enclave with the Luminae restaurant (chef Daniel Boulud), a lounge with a full bar, private sundeck with cabanas and a personal butler.

Superior cuisine

Celebrity's food is consistently rated the best among premium cruise lines. Le Petit Chef (3D animation on your plate) is a one-of-a-kind experience.

Restaurants

Main Restaurant

Main Restaurant

Two-story main dining room with a rotating menu. International cuisine a cut above the average.

Mich's Stateroom Guide

Celebrity has the Infinite Verandas (Edge class) — the balcony blends into the room and you can open the glass wall. It's the most innovative design on the market. The Retreat (suites) includes an exclusive restaurant, lounge, sundeck and butler. It's like a luxury resort inside the ship.

Inside

$1,000-2,500 (3-4 nights)

Compact but elegantly designed. Premium finishes even in the most basic category.

Mich's Tip: Celebrity's inside cabins feel more expensive than they are. Good design makes the difference.

Oceanview

$1,300-3,000 (3-4 nights)

Panoramic window. Only on Solstice-class ships.

Mich's Tip: Only available on the older ships. On Edge class, jump straight to an Infinite Veranda.

Infinite Veranda (Balcony)

$2,000-4,500 (3-4 nights)

The balcony becomes part of the room. Open the glass and the space doubles. Celebrity's patented design.

Mich's Tip: The Infinite Veranda is the biggest innovation in cruise cabins in decades. The room feels enormous when you open the glass.

The Retreat (Suites)

$4,500-20,000+ (3-4 nights)

Suites from Junior up to Penthouse and the Iconic Suite. Includes access to The Retreat: the Luminae restaurant, lounge, private sundeck and butler.

Mich's Tip: The Retreat is the best-value suite experience after the MSC Yacht Club. Luminae (the exclusive restaurant) is worth the upgrade all by itself.

Kids Clubs

Camp at Sea (ages 3-12)

Kids club with age-grouped activities: art, science, games. Well organized, but without character theming.

Mich's Tip: Celebrity isn't the first pick for little kids, but the program is solid. Best for kids 8+ who enjoy creative activities.

Teens Club (ages 13-17)

Teen lounge with video games, music and social activities.

Mich's Tip: Teens do well on Celebrity. The ship overall is calmer than Royal Caribbean.
