This was first post COVID cruise, had 5 booked and canceled. I have sailed on many different ships and lines and can say without a doubt the celebrity edge has the most amazing crew and staff at sea. They are all working so hard to deliver a top notch cruise experience with tough circumstances. The staff and crew are not allowed of ship currently they have to stay on board while in ports. I think this would make most people go crazy, but they push on. Captain Kate is great, she is funny, outgoing and a great promoter of Celebrity and cruising. Walking up the gangway to embark is always special but after 18months it was almost too much. Staff was there cheering and welcoming us home. The ship is beautiful and modern, the food in the four dinning rooms was excellent, service was efficient and waiters were friendly and helpful. They didn’t spend a lot of time just chatting with us, but service was quick and friendly. The rooftop garden and sunset bar are not the best places sunset bar is hot, and garden is not as open and welcoming as lawn on solstice class. There are no open forward decks, unless in suite or have access to thermal suite. I really missed being able to look over bow. That would be my ONLY celebrity complaint. Entertainment was excellent Divas 3, members were so fun and outgoing. Jeff Nelson comedian was very funny. Activity staff was fun and always encouraged everyone to participate, Crystal was exceptionally helpful and friendly
