#CELEBRITY EDGE FREE#
The food in the free waiter-service restaurants wasn't as mediocre, though, and the stuff on the tables at the up-charged places was downright delicious.Design is extremely important in everything we do. These days, though, a lackluster buffet seems to be a common thread between all the major cruise lines because they want you to spend more for a specialty reservation. There, I had pad thai made with mealy noodles that were more appropriate for a spaghetti dish, and the "midnight" buffet wasn't much more than a selection of cold cuts and a salad bar-and it closed at midnight. The only bad food I had was at the Oceanview Café, the main buffet, which has stations for multiple genres of food and stupendous views from the back of Deck 14. There are a few additional restaurants besides the spots pictured here, including one for steak, one for sushi, and two that are only open to customers who book a higher class of cabin. Whereas most cruises these days cut corners at the restaurants that don't charge customers extra, I thought the Edge served very good food no matter where I ate. You don't have to use your phone for any of these things, but there's no doubt that if you do, it speeds things up and requires you to deal with crew less.Īnd how is that pastry? Take a look. Also in the works: The ability to order a drink from your lounge chair your phone's GPS directs the server where to deliver it. This tech will be expanded to all Celebrity and Royal Caribbean ships in time. To make all this work seamlessly, you must scan your information more than three days before departure. This revolutionizes the painless boarding process-on my cruise, I boarded within 3 minutes of arriving at the terminal and going through security. The app also captures your passport photo page so that the ship's entry system can recognize your face.

The TV can also mirror your smartphone so you can stream Netflix or downloaded files to your room's screen-unfortunately, if you have an iPhone, that feature will require you to subscribe to the paid Wi-Fi package, but if you're on an Android, it doesn't. (Do it from across the ship if you really want to annoy your bedmate.) You can use your phone to open your door. You can control your room's temperature, lighting, and TV using an app on your smartphone. The Edge also makes huge strides in digital integration.
