What is your favourite part of Celebrity Edge?

The place to be seen, The Grand Plaza area. It was airy and spacious and it had the energy of everyone coming together. Home to our incredible specialty restaurants as well as Café Al Bacio, this is the ultimate gathering place - just stunning!

Best port you’ve sailed to, and why?

I just loved Ajaccio, Corsica. It is perfect if you enjoy exploring the old town and the remnants of what was originally a 12th century colony. This seaside city is surrounded by mountains and pretty beaches, numerous restaurants and cafes serving fresh local food.

Nothing beats a good market and this one is certainly attractive. I had a great time enjoying the many Corsican specialities and soaking up the sun!  It is a picturesque port where sailboats and fishing vessels dock. 

Top Cruise Tips

Don’t feel obligated to go to the Main Dining Room for your meals – this is your holiday!  Room service breakfast is a nice way to start off your day especially if you have a balcony.

What you couldn’t travel without in your suitcase?

Definitely my phone charger!  I know I am always able to keep in contact with home, take photos, and make memories.
