My (Very Honest) Review of The Celebrity Edge in Alaska
For the first time since they were launched in 2018, Celebrity Cruises is sending their highly rated Edge class of ships to Alaska! I just so happened to have been on the inaugural sailing aboard the Celebrity Edge, staying in a balcony cabin. So today, let's take a deeper look into this very well liked cruise ship and see if not only if it's a good ship to brave the cold waters of the north Pacific, but also to see if it's worth the money!

the way you film your partner is just so cute! somehow the framing makes you guys' love tangible <3
The ship is absolutely beautiful! But with all of the up charges given to guests to try to experience everything or at least more, it’s a bit of a bummer. The perk of a cruise vacation is paying a good set price for the experience.
Great video! Would love to see you review one of Vikings cruises in the Great Lakes! Really interested in what they offer for what they are charging
Oh I’d absoloutly love to!
(22:38) i am troubled by the lack of an apostrophe in your score name. 😄 (*Jake’s)
fuck yeah Bright Sun Travels upload
please do a video about the classism on ships lately. very interested in the topic. i personally am against it but clearly its working for the companies. would be fun to see a comparison of how much each line milks the top spenders in terms of what the top suite offering is vs cost. Wonder if Disneys is still the most expensive. also wonder if any companies have egregiously bad reward system /loyalty club perks. seems like those have gone downhill in the recent times too. even that "concierge" status screams ripoff.
You should try Viking Ocean - their ships seem made for you.
Massive fan, thank you
It would not surprise me in the slightest if Disney started charging people to view the fireworks show
not FL but CA my mom wanted to take me to either Disney or Universal and i did maybe half an hour on research before deciding i didn’t want to buy my mom through the potential nightmare of booking a disney trip and trying to make in enjoyable for both of us. We paid i think 20 extra dollars per ticket for early access to Super Nintendo World (mostly just so we could get in before the crowds) and had a blast and stayed all day. In the past my mom and i would’ve LOVED a disney trip and i bet if it was still run how it was when i was younger we’d still love it now but, i “i don’t want to think about the money or the hassle” is unfortunately becoming a very common sentiment when it comes to disney
MORE MORE MORE!
I have zero intention of ever going on a cruise but I like your videos and I watched this whole thing nodding and shaking my head like I'm somehow going to get up and go on a cruise. Thanks for taking me on this adventure.
I think the Norwegian Spirit might be close to perfect for you
That’s one of the few Norwegian ships I’ve been on! I did it once back in 2007(ish)
We sailed on Celebrity Edge last summer in the western Mediterranean and thought it was a wonderful ship. We had a Sunset Veranda (rear facing) and it was awesome. The ship definitely benefits from warmer weather for all of the outside spaces, as the ship never felt overly crowded while in Europe. We found the food to be generally excellent, sorry yours wasn’t. I would potentially attribute it to the brand new rotation of crew members for your sailing getting their footing. We also sailed right next to Edge last month in Alaska (its 2nd sailing) while aboard RC Ovation of the Seas, round trip from Seattle. We found the same issues with indoor spaces being packed all the time because it was just too cold outside. Especially with Windjammer Cafe, which was legit unbearable at times. Overall though, the cruise itself was great and we had fantastic weather.
its really shitty that they dont offer you water, are you able to drink the water from the faucets on cruises? otherwise what is the solution?
One time you cruised on a decent ship with outstanding service and food . Now it’s a spectacular ship with lots of restaurants and shops that you pay for .I liked Celebrity when it belonged to Chandris when they were classy ships like The Century,Mercury, and they were a luxurious cruise not this Royal Caribbean floating Mall . The average cruise was 14 plus now it’s six days to possibly eleven days.
Robin Williams must be turning in his grave, knowing a character he voiced is now the mascot for a hypercapitalist app you use to pay for rides that should be free. Bob Iger is evil.
My friend was on this sailing in Aqua Class. He sent pictures of Dawes and the ship looked so far away compared to my sailing on Norwegian Jewel. I have some great footage of some calving and the sound is incredible. As a smaller ship we were able to get so close compared to the large ships I’ve been on. Looking forward to seeing more glaciers on my 2025 sailing.
Hello Jake, First off, I love your oceanliner videos-VERY WELL DONE! You should do a video on the history of the French oceanliner SS Normandie, which is, in my opinion, the most beautiful oceanliner ever. Keep up the good work, my friend.
When are they making the Bono cruise ship?
I would never take an inaugural trip on anything. I know too much.
Ok it looks like a cool ship. But why the x. What’s the point. It looks so stupid, just stick to traditional names. Not “XL”😂
Excellent video as always! Please go on and review a ship in a ship experience. Would love to know if it's actually worth the extra cost and space taken up by it.
I’m totally Edgeing right now!!
It was the charging box that convinced me ..The food you get is so bad you have to pay for a speciality restaurants .The buzzword for cruise today is Uncharge.
Yes! Talk about the upper class ship area issues
Love these videos. Been a fan of your main channel since 2018, and while I love the videos there, your travel videos are some of my favourites. Super entertaining and informative, with great camerawork.
The water is more than $6. It is 5.50 plus a 20 percent upcharge. So almost $7
did you reach the edging climax or could you hold the edge streak until the end?
I would love more videos just talking in general about cruises. Such as the history of cruise ships, design trends, etc.
3 tortilla chips, four olives, 2/8 of a brownie and soup(?), wowie zowie. What an appetizer
Concierge class is definitely not worth it. The retreat was cool is grossly expensive. Aqua class however, is absolutely fantastic and has become the only way we go on Celebrity. Just for the Blu restaurant alone. (Edit: have not been on an edge ship yet. My experiences are based on millennium class and solstice class both pre-and post pandemic)
Hey Jake I would like you to talk about the Haven (NCL version) and the other premium options. Curious your take on the pros and cons. Due to some weird circumstances I took the NCL cruise staying in the higher tier Haven area in October 2019. Seattle, Victoria, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan. It was great but I am more of a balcony standard kind of guy. We are 5 years on from that almost so I would be curious to hear your thoughts as an expert. Thanks
The segmenting of space into premium/standard is deeply problematic because the lines control both sides of the equation - the more they crowd the standard spaces, the more you feel incentive to pay for premium. There literally is no downside for them to continue and expand this trend. Until passengers revolt and push back by simply not booking. Unlikely to happen anytime soon. You absolutely should deep dive on this, and I would love to see articles spun off your story that bring the practice into question.
I would definitely love to see a video on how public space keeps getting cordoned off in favor of exclusive spaces. Like with the upcoming Utopia of the Seas, they removed the public spaces above the bridge wings and turned that into a suite, taking away that genuinely cool area for every other guest on board.
I’d love to see you review MSCs yacht club “ship within a ship” experience! Love the reviews!
21:38 That's Disney for you
driving from Calgary to Vancouver on TransCanada highway is a fairytale for any driver-traveler.
Would love to see/hear about your experience with one of the exclusive cruise sections
Great shoots!
mmm yes i cruise only for complimentary shoe shine
Great review! My family and I were on that ship last summer; traveling across the Mediterranean sea from Italy to Spain. It was outstanding!
$40,000 is wild lol, but the views were nice, food being mid is a bummer, and the up charges were kinda ridiculous considering you’re already paying more. But great video, I appreciate you covering these travel destinations!
HONEY GET THE KIDS BRIGHT SUN TRAVELS POSTED ANOTHER CRUISE REVIEW!
Nice!
the titanic is rolling in its grave the way this ship flexes on it with the maneuverability around ice and the magic carpet
def talk about ships within a ship please!
Have you thought about flying out to Australia for the Disney cruise? I’m still trying to decide if I want to spend that much money 🇦🇺
Very cool ship design, but compared to Holland America’s ships, especially the Pinnacle-class, those pool spaces are not designed well for Alaska. On HAL’s Pinnacle-class ships, the entire two-story main pool area is covered by a retractable roof that can close and create a whole useable public space. I think the Edge-class has more spaces with windows however (makes sense, it’s a physically bigger vessel).
