cruise chef 865 Report post Posted October 18, 2017 Just seen a press release to say the brand new ship will be in Europe in 2019 sailing from the UK TO ROME in May, I'm sure this will be a popular sailing as the ship looks amazing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sammy sun 1084 Report post Posted October 18, 2017 I cannot wait to sail on this ship. It's a certainty for me. I've loved every Celebrity cruise I've done and I think they'll do an excellent job on the new-build. If the edge is half as good as the Solstice Class design, I' sure I'll enjoy it. 1 B&M reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Enterprise have a depot just outside gate 8, which is about 150 yards from City terminal. Brian 2 iknowlescourier and Bumble Bee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd never thought of doing that, especially if like with this itinerary, you're flying back into the UK. I can't imagine it being too much to hire a car for the day either.

BrianI 85 Report post Posted October 18, 2017 The hire cost will probably be less than two weeks parking. Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian I thought I'd read somewhere recently the Enterprise depot by gate 8 had closed down although I'm sure if it has there will be a convenient drop off point somewhere close.

Davybe 529 Report post Posted October 19, 2017 Just got an offer for the 10 day cruise from Southampton .on Edge. At £2615 pp for a balcony cabin not a hope in hell of us going .....Davybe 1 bigrog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
afcandrew 352 Report post Posted October 20, 2017 I also had a mail-out and inside prices started at around £1600. Maybe they have already sold a lot of cabins on the US market? 1 B&M reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldworldtraveller 2216 Report post Posted October 24, 2017 Certainly Celebrity are excited about 'The Edge' but will the public share the same enthusiasm. Personally I question the appeal of a moving platform on the side of the ship and what enhancements it brings. When I saw the artists impression I thought it was ugly and looked like an add on. The prices are sky high and agents are trying hard to sell the balcony cabins. Lets wait until nearer the time to see what happens. There is a lot of new tonnage out there offering different experiences so it will be interesting to see how it fares against the competition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
afcandrew 352 Report post Posted October 24, 2017 A very minor point I know - but - what a stupid name for a ship! 1 2torts reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
