- This is our cabin on Celebrity Cruises' Celebrity Edge cruise ship. This is Cabin no. 7137 on Celebrity Edge, and this Infinite Veranda cabin features a cool new kind of balcony that is both an inside and outside space.
This cabin is on Deck 7 toward the front of the ship and on the port side.
TOUR OF THE BIGGEST CABIN ON CELEBRITY EDGE (THE ICONIC SUITE):

I think this is a really great concept for Alaska cruises or other colder itineraries! I wouldn't get a balcony for an Alaska cruise because it would be too cold to sit on it all day and it'd be a waste of money. Yet, most oceanview cabins only have a pretty small window, but I want to see the beautiful sights of Alaska from my room. With this type of room, you can still see all the beautiful landscapes without getting cold or having to look through a tiny window.
The mailbox. Ugh. It such a scary fun thing. When you get something in it, wow!! When you don't :( We got tickets to some fantastic free events.
I love how just one person says something negative re; balcony and others follow, copy. The room is beautiful!
Indeed the room looks amazing! But I prefer to feel outdoors on my balcony, not looking out a window
I’m surprised to see the lack of closet space! Thanks for sharing!
Seems even less than on the Solstice class??
I think the balcony concept is really cool. I can't wait to try this cabin out! Thanks for posting!!
Thanks for this. We just sailed on the Edge in cabin 8163 with the Infinite Veranda. Our feelings were mixed. We liked the floor to ceiling window when the window was closed and liked the additional space the balcony gave the room with the partitions open. Having said that, it's a small balcony and the two chairs and table take up most of that floor space. Drawer space was adequate but closet space is quite restricted, so pack wisely. Our luggage did go under the bed. The bathroom was very good, especially the shower. The television options were terrible; Celebrity definitely missed the boat with their small assortment of channels and very poor video on demand selection. We don't watch much TV on cruises but some people will be unamused by the paltry selections. There's a couple of Celebrity channels of course and in one presentation a manager was bragging about the "densification" of the ship and it really is noticeable. Traffic flow is awful compared especially to a Millennium-class (or even Solstice-class) ship.
It may have just been a teething issue with a new ship, but the Celebrity service I have known and loved since the days of the Horizon has really deteriorated. My cabin had a minibar that not only wasn't stocked, but had a mystery half glass of some yellow liquid in it from the previous cabin occupants until the last night of the cruise when my minibar was finally stocked. I never met my stateroom attendant once (a first in 25 cruises) and while not the only issue we noted, it's an example of Celebrity's slide.
The individual rooms of the ship are beautiful but they don't flow together well and there are obvious errors on judgment in the layout. A prime example is the location of the sushi restaurant, "Raw on 5", which is adjacent to the main atrium next to the primary passageway on deck 5. If you hate the smell of seafood, you'll dread being anywhere near it. The ship has pros and cons and while we're glad we saw it, I will book away from the Edge class in the future.
Edge is easily my least favorite of the nine Celebrity ships I've sailed on.
This is a fantastic assessment. And very fair. I agree with most points here. Happy travels and thanks for watching.
we are to sail in a cabin just a few up form 8163 and not impressed. might cancel the whole trip, that closet will never hold all that we bring for a week.
In The Loop Travel Absolutely. I think your review of the stateroom is the best I've seen.
I've always loved Celebrity but the Edge was a cold and sterile experience that seemed to go out of its way to distance itself from so many elements that made the former Celebrity great. It brings me no joy to say that, but I was really disappointed in this ship.
Karen Stenzel Karen...I would neither encourage nor discourage you trying the Edge. As for storage, the drawer space is good, but the cabin is very compact and the closet is annoying. Not only is it relatively small, in my Infinite Veranda at least, it's oddly shaped and the stuff near the back is hard to access. Definitely a low point of the cabin.
Another item that will vary with personal taste that may or may not matter to you: the bed was VERY firm. I actually like a somewhat firm mattress, but the bed was the least comfortable I've ever slept on on a ship. It may be that it's just brand new, but I never slept well onboard.
Again, I am not trying to influence your decision. We're glad we tried it on a 3-night preview voyage as we both agreed that 7 nights would be way too much on this ship. It's the first cruise ship I was actually looking forward to getting off and being done with the cruise.
I wish you the best in your vacation planning and encourage you to find other viewpoints besides my own. Some people were doubtlessly thrilled with the experience. For us the Edge sailing served primarily as an advertisement for Princess or Holland America.
Yeah, the bathroom is the ONLY improvement over the Solstice class. TV on wall at the narrowest spot of the room will interfere with many people just walking by. I think they hired the wrong designer for these staterooms. What a shame!
I'll be sailing on the Edge next Sunday. For those complaints about the closets.... I agree totally! At least now I can plan to store my clothing differently. Formal stuff and hub's slacks in the closet. Neatly fold tops and use the terrific drawer space. The cubby holes and other storage will hold everything we bring. If not, we store our luggage under the bed. Leave things (such as dirty laundry) in there as well.
Great plan. I hoped this helped. Happy cruising.
Absolutely love the Cabin. I have booked a May 2020 cruise on the sister ship to the Edge, the Apex....I booked this exact type of room. Leaving South Hampton England and cruising the Fjords up the coast of Norway....Love the entire Edge ship...And the Apex is the exact same ship but with different colors...Also, they have upgraded the complimentary dining by making 4 different dining upscale restaurants...Other cruise lines should follow this excellent example...Instead of feeding 700 in each of two main dining rooms early and late seating...they have 4 different restaurants that seat 350 in each of the 4 restaurants....EXCELLENT....and the theater has been redesigned no having a bad seat in the entire room....Can't wait to head to Norway on the Apex....
Fantastic. Happy sailing. Enjoy the countdown to your cruise.
Thank you...ill be my 14th cruise with this line...Did all of the Caribbean, Panama Canal, Alaska, Bermuda, New England and Canada...first time going to Norway...ANTICIPATION is a great part of the experience....
Celebrity should be very proud of this excellent promotional video .
One very important thing to notice . These cabins have indented walls . The head area of the bed intrudes about 2 feet into the next cabins space and visa versa . This makes a VERY small cabin appear larger . NCL does the same trick on the Epic . At first glance it seems clever but it's an optical illusion . Small is small .
As for the IV balcony , I like having an outdoor balcony . My wife however loves this innovation .
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Not what I thought the balcony would be from pictures. That’s more like a window not a balcony. Not quite the same feel of opening from the top and sides a typical balcony would have. Glad I saw this video cause I don’t think I’d be pleased with that balcony set up. Thank you for posting like always.
Still bloody good tho!
@Trevor Chae Have you seen the size of those balconies? Ridiculous.
I like the use of space and the open balcony option. I'm ready to go!
Happy cruising!
I love that the night stand has an outlet next to the bed! Me and my partner both use CPAP machines and that outlet would be a medical necessity! I have an extender so I can fit 2-3 plugs into one outlet (plus USB ports). That sofa with a pull-out bed is fascinating too! Maybe I'll be on the Edge for a 2022 cruise!
Yay. Happy sailing when you go!
River cruises have been doing this for years. It’s a great innovation
I think it’s an interesting idea. We often get a cabin with a huge balcony, but if it’s not an Alaskan cruise we aren’t out on it a lot... might be a great way to get the best of both worlds in the a Caribbean or other destinations with less interesting coastal sea days? I do think the hanging closet space might kill me though. But an attractive room, I would try 😊
I guess it’s more of a large window than a veranda. But I kind of like that do get more room in the end and a chance to keep an open window - both are pluses to me.
That's a great assessment. You really do have to try it to see whether you like it.
WOWWWW!! this is what I uttered first when you opened the door. I'm so loving the elegant design as well as the modern decor. What a comfy zone!!! Sitting over there and watching the view, it might be so fantastic :)
Thanks for this nice video. It shows the cabin as is - that is important. It's very narrow as expected. But it is squeezed in a more sophisticated way than it was on the Solstice class (that pioneered squeezed cabins). As to the "Infinite Verandah", a mountain (of ads) gave birth to a mouse. IMO the single coolest item is a drawer in the bathroom (borrowed from Viking). The single most ridiculous item (as it seems from the video) is the white box with electric outlets on the table. I love the flexibility of the table (Quantum class) but the light fixture on the mirror is irritating IMO. Thanks again. Great job.
many thanks for watching and commenting. It's great to hear your assessment. You really know your stuff. Happy sailing!
Neat balcony option! It also provides extra interior space.
Great video. The cabin w/veranda is very innovative.
Thank you. Indeed very limited drawer space
That’s a big ass bathroom lol I love it
I like that the bathroom, specifically the shower, looks much bigger than carnival cabins. I do think it would be better if the control panel for the lights/temp/curtain was closer to the bed, but still a nice room, I'll havta check out celebrity
We will be in cabin 7129 on the Apex in 2020. Your video is perfect for us since our cabin will be identical.
Awesome. Glad you got a good idea of what to expect. Happy sailing.
This is interesting, now sure how I feel about it tbh! Have to see for myself 😁
That's is the best policy. We quite liked it. Definitely different. A lot of people are really worked up over them. Lol
I got to go on this ship as well and it truly was gorgeous! I as on the employee shakedown cruise before your preview sailing and I honestly didn’t want to get off. It was the perfect getaway for me. I’m a stay at home mom of 2 kids 5 and under so needless to say, I need a break every so often, and this was the perfect ship for that.
I know. I need to go back. There is so much food to try and places to chill out in. Lol.
Great video..very interesting room set-up..thanks!!
We booked an OV for March on the Edge....glad I didn't spend more money for an Infinite Veranda.
Happy sailing!
Wow a totally revolutionary cabin with a space that extend out the edge of the ship.....Really ground breaking. Other ships will definitely try to copy that.
The balconies on the Solstice class are deeper where you can stretch your legs and lean back to relax. These 2 little plastic chairs just don't do the job! The designer stole a couple of feet from the balcony to put it inside the room so the couch is slightly loner, but I swear that room does not feel much longer. The bath is probably slightly wider/deeper which is nice.
It seems the closet it a hair smaller too, it was nice to see the little side closet (shoes).
Great tour
Thanks for the vid! Can’t wait to go!
Port sides of ships have the even numbered cabins, so your 137 must have been on the starboard side. Thx for video. I would have loved to have seen what the lowest you could set the thermostat, as I have never been able to set lower than 18C, and we like cooler at night, i.e 14C. They seem to do that to save power.
Thanks for watching. Are you sailing soon?
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Of course. Thanks for watching
Bathroom is huge!
Not sure about those new 'verandah's', which are actually enlarged windows. I can see the reason why they're going this direction. I'm guessing the maintenance, personal safety and security of traditional balconies are probably a nightmare and a huge cost for the cruise lines. Thoughts?
Wow! I’m actually surprise in this comment in here don’t like the balcony?! The balcony look nice in my opinion. Why make the same old balcony design? Come on guys! I would feel safer the way they design this balcony style. I don’t have to worry about the fear if something happen when you fall over the balcony. It just me, lol.
Forgot to add that I believe we will prefer the veranda since our nosy neighbors like to casually peep on us at times in the past with more traditional style balconies. This looks a bit more private. Personally, I enjoy putting on a bit of a show for them but the misses is more prudish as she will admit. We both like to sun on our verandas/balconies with little to nothing on and some neighbors discover this early on and quietly try to sneak a peek. Can't say I blame em though. If wanna take a leak at me too. 😉😜
Peak at me too. Geesh
Needs more ports for charging and plugging in, especially by the bed.
Ultra cool job sir. You can never have enough outlets
looks much better then the MSC cabin
I'd rather have a regular balcony, but that's not a deal killer for me. That small and "in the way" closet might be though.
I don't consider that a balcony room, at all. It's an Oceanview with optional breeze. Can't quietly step "outside" without waking my companion with the unlocking and shuffling of doors. Ugh, why try to fix what isn't broken?
Very nice😊
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tour. This is really no better than the last generation. The infinity balcony is a fake balcony to try to make the room feel bigger! Not sold on this idea.
Think of it as a sun room then.
You really need to stand up,otherwise you're still looking through a window. Concept silly.
Great tour. Looks a really comfortable cabin. Really liked the neat plug space and bathroom not so sure about the infinity balcony but would still love to cruise on this amazing ship! Great video have subscribed, good to find other cruise vloggers like us.
It doesn’t bother me. As along as I can see out of my room and get fresh air from my room is all that matters
Room. Looks. So narrow
I was impressed nice room
It's nice, but if you have family in the rooms beside, you can't open up the balconys side doors and make it in to a huge balcony
That's a good point. Less flexible.
Does not feels like a balcony at all. Just a large window
You would find it to be quite good. And gives you extra floor space on crappy weather days
If there were still balcony rooms and the Infinite Verandah cabins were just replacements for ocean view rooms, then I could get behind the idea. For me at least, part of the allure of the balcony is the feeling of being outside. I don't get that same feeling standing next to an open window.
The reason for ocean view is that they can't have openable windows, because it's too close to the water. So the infinite verandah can never be a replacement for ocean view.
@@scyl Sure they can. Have you ever heard of a cove balcony? If you can have a balcony room on deck 2 then you can have an Infinite Verandah down there too.
The cove balcony have much smaller windows
@@scyl The cove balcony has a door that opens to the outside.
The door + windows is not as big as the "window" on the Infinite Verandah. And cove balcony also have a metal structure as the hand rail instead of glass.
WE will be on the Edge, in an "Infinite Balcony" as shown, back-to-back,
(on an Eastern, then Western Caribbean cruise) late January of 2019.
Booked months ago; It's just what we wanted!
Nice. Happy sailing
The cabin seems smaller than usual. The room is not full width for the whole length. It is narrower between the bed and window. Presumably the cabin to your left (when looking outwards towards the balcony) has their bed closer to the balcony, so their widest part is nearer the outside, which is your narrow part. They would also have a wider balcony. If I am correct, that would allow Celebrity to squeeze more cabins into a given length of ship.
Like balcony idea, although it looks more like an inside space with a large opening window than an actual balcony. Nice touches of design, with the electric sockets and the sliding desk. The wardrobe is the one thing I didn't like, looks far too small and awkward to use. Much prefer the walk in style on Princess/P&O Grand Class.
This beautiful and big enough me and my sister...I'd like to plan 6 to 8 months early to get deeper discounts. How is the food on the ship? Is it better than Carnival and can you choose open buffet over restaurant seating?
Hi there. Thanks for watching. This is my favorite class of big cruise ship. Edge and Apex both have great dining options. I lived the outdoor barbecue grill up top. You can always choose to eat at the wonderful buffet for all meals, too. Happy travels!
Fair well balanced guide of the cabin. Pointing out interesting details that would otherwise be missed. Thank You
- Have you filmed guides for other grades of cabin on the Edge? (am personally interested in the Sky Suites - as I am b2b in one next Feb 2019)
Thanks for your comments and thanks for watching. I only was able to film the cabin I was staying in and also I did a tour of the Iconic Suite.
I enjoyed the video. I have never taken a cruise but it is on my bucket list. I am not sure where I want to travel to while on it at the moment though. Would you happen to have any suggestions on which cruise liners are recommended over others, etc?
Thanks for watching. It's almost impossible to say which cruise to recommend. There are all kinds of cruise lines (luxury, budget lines, big ships, small ships, expedition ships, river cruises and barges, even). I would suggest looking around at the website Cruise Critic to see all the different kinds of cruises and how past passengers rate them and who they are for. Happy travels!
I have been on 18 cruises and I am done. They nickel and dime you to death these days. So whatever price you end up paying is not the end of it at all. For the money, you are much better off just finding a nice island (St. John is my favorite), getting a nice reasonable hotel or condo and just staying put. The limited time you spend on caribbean islands is not enough time to enjoy them. But if you insist on doing a cruise, do not go on a large ship, too many people and its annoying to say the least.
Wow beautiful
Excellent presentation. Does the AC turn off when balcony doors and window is open? Only blinds, no curtains? It is not too dark?
If too many people open the window and do not close their veranda door this design will play havoc with the ships HVAC balance. I also hope they keep a stock of replacement motors for the electric windows and blinds. I imagine, for safety, the bridge can close and lock all windows in the event of a storm.
Thanks AC automatically shuts off when window is open.
Thanks for your video. Can you also control things in the room from your phone?
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. Yes, there's an app for controlling lights and stuff.
it doesn't feel like a real balcony
Isn’t this the same balcony setup as some luxury river boats?
Yes, indeed, especially like Scenic. But this is a first for ocean cruise ships. Thanks for watching.
@@InTheLoopTravel Is this the solo balcony stateroom.
@@carolyngardner4999 No. It's a regular stateroom for two.
What covers the window to keep light out when sleeping?
At the end I show you the screen that comes down.
We are sailing on Edge December 6. Do I need to pack a suit for my husband and dress for myself or it is casual at dinner?
Happy sailing. You can expect to be comfortable in smart casual attire all nights. They do have something called an evening chic night but casual is fine.
Still small don’t like the faux veranda, but they tried. I’m guessing he larger rooms are more suited to the new design.
I don't really like the balcony concept, it's just a window.
Nice review...Allot of camera handling noise, and I can barely hear him... May I suggest an add on/external/wireless mic?
Thanks for watching.
You look very tall and that bed looks kind of short..is it?
I am 6-4 and the bed could definitely been a little longer. It didn't really affect me, though. I slept fine.
The veranda is just a large window that can open, bit of a rip off really, it sure as hell is not a balcony, more like an outside cabin!
I'm not impressed. The balcony is just a large window that you can leave open. It doesn't give the feeling of being out on a balcony. Closet is way too small. Room seems smaller. The only thing I like was the bathroom. I also prefer drapes than the electronic blind.
Tedebehr yeah....they tried on the balcony thing, but the whole time I was thinking....”that just doesn’t feel like a balcony. It’s just a room with a little bit bigger window.”
Totally agree!
RCI and Celebrity have reduced the width of all cabins on new ships, so to squeeze more in. When I sailed on Ovation of the Seas it was instantly noticeable when I first walked into my Balcony Cabin it was narrow compared to the older RCI ships. Its all about the money. !!!
@@TheGrandmaster1 I agree. Not liking that type of balcony at all. Looks like more of a window.
I disagree especially on rainy days it would be perfect while on glory there was flooding on deck 7 because of rain guess it wasn’t that bad because we didn’t even know
that balcony isn't even close what i tought they would be. thats literally and window you can open/close.. on anyother balcony they open to sides too.. i dont like those at all..
Still not sure I"m sold on that infinite veranda. It seems to feel more like a window than a balcony - even with the bi-folds closed. Does this design restrict the air movement you would normally get on a balcony?
We like the added space in the room and the floor of the balcony is nicer to walk out straight out onto (no threshold to trip on and no heavy doors. If you do close the doors, which we haven't been doing, it really does feel like a true balcony. The ceiling to floor ocean views are incredible.
David Tavakoli I feel the same. I think I’d take a normal balcony
super
Where do the cases go - on the Solstice and Constellation we were able to put the cases in the wardrobe. The wardrobe looks very small on the Edge
The wardrobe is small. Luggage also fits under the bed
There is room under the king sized bed for up to 4 large suitcases
@@erikjenkins960 Sorry for the delay in my reply. There is room for suitcases, but it might be tight for four.
The room seems long, but narrower than usual, somehow achieving the same square feet.
It is a bit longer. At least feels that way. It could be narrower but didn't feel too different in that dimension
Nice video but please allow these comments with respect to ergonomic design. The room vault should be around chest level for ease of use. In addition... there should be a USB outlet at each nightstand.
I have to agree about the USB outlets. With today's technology, it doesn't make sense to have them only on one side of the bed.
loveaodai100 insiders note: the phone has a USB outlet on the side.
nice
I think it was a mistake to book a cabin with this kind of veranda. The cabin itself looks nice. But the the closets are very small.
was in room 6125 with big window, ( No Balcony ) WTF - Hated it. When I booked I ask for a balcony . Dear Celebrity you could have told me b4 I booked. When I complained and tried to upgrade. No other room available. To me it felt like an inside room. My favorite thing about a cruise is sitting out on the Balcony. I was robbed of that experience.
is that shade a "blackout" shade?
Yes. I would have slept all day unless I set an alarm. Lol.
yes it is
An extra thousand per person for a fancy window? No thanks
Where do you store your suitcase?
Hi there. You can store it under the bed or in a closet.
Yeah, but no to the balcony. That's not a balcony. Me no likey that concept.
WOW! that balcony is horrible, I would be pissed if I paid for a balcony room and walked into that. Nice to have the room hot as hell when I want to open the balcony and with no drape on that door how can you ever open the window. Epic Fail
A lot of people are expressing disappointment in this design.
only on the back of the ship and it looks like only about 20 of them and very expensive
Butterbean if you paid for that , without doing your research, then you’re a fool ... you should know what you are getting
Does the TV swivel to make viewing from the couch possible? Thanks!
We tried to move it but it didn't go easily, so we stopped. It might but we didn't want to yank it off the wall.
In The Loop Travel - Thanks! Great video showing me exactly what I was curious about . .
@@wayneroberts2203 Thanks so much for watching. Happy travels.
Not a fan of the balcony.
Closet space seems really bad... hmm
Pretty nice room, the balcony not so much.
balcony was actually really nice
Im going on the Edge soon. Don't like the balcony suite at all......sorry I took that now. It's nothing more than a window. How disappointing.
Have a wonderful cruise. Maybe you'll like it once you are in the room yourself. It is a bit strange to have the walls of the room as the sides of the balcony. Different for sure.
Damn what a nice room. Damn I want to be on that ship so bad I could just shit. It looks ridiculously beautiful and state of the art.
Good idea. I don’t want to be on vacation near anyone that sensitive anyway, so it works for everyone.
And all the luggage goes where ?
Can fit luggage under the bed.
Worth it?
If you're asking about paying for a standard balcony cabin vs. an interior, that all depends on whether you personally care whether you have views and can go outside. Every person is different. Some people can't justify the expense because they don't plan to spend that much time in the room other than for changing, cleaning and sleeping. Thanks for watching!
@@InTheLoopTravel I do Aqua class with celebrity and absolutely love it. Other than that I have have taken other simple balcony class rooms with other cruises, never done anything else. I would like to try this room one day. Maybe to Greece if this boat goes there. Did it cost more money than average balcony or all the balconies like this?
Thanks for the vid.
@@markdirksen3810 Ahh, I wondered if you were asking whether this balcony style was extra. Almost all the balconies on the ship are this style, so they are the "standard" on Edge. There are a few of the regular style balconies, and the expensive suites also have large verandahs in the traditional style. Cheers!
@@InTheLoopTravel ok would this be same as aqua class i wonder. I noticed the small pull out bed. 2020 i plan on taking that cruise, but the other couple has a teen with them. As it happens the normal aqua class only can hold 2 people. I hope this is in Aqua as well.
Terrible storage- need more closet and drawer space.
that’s not a balcony it is a window . I will not be cruising that boat
Nice, but don’t like the balcony idea
Can you do a tour of the pool? Preferably shirtless!
The bed is too big for the room. A twin would work much better. Not impressed with the video.
John O'Brien You must be a blast at parties!
7 7
Very unimpressive. That “balcony” is a total gimmick. I’ll pass.
It seems to me that they've tried too hard and have lost their original charm on the way
The squeaky noises from the person with the camera really need to be edited out.
Thanks. I wish I could have. Will do better next time.
