The suite life!

Celebrity opened up all the different suites and staterooms for us to view.   I took a lot of pictures but they don't show the entire suite in one shot so I downloaded the floor plan and a couple of video links.  These suites are pricey but include a lot of extras.  The suites on the Edge are the nicest suites I've ever seen on any cruise ship.  For suite information view this link:  Suites


Nice living room with a forward view.
The picture shows the large balcony with gorgeous furniture.
View on the balcony looking aft.
This suite was stunning,  The balcony overhangs the ship so you get the same view the Captain does from the bridge.
Here is a link to a great video showing this suite:  Iconic Suite





EDGE VILLA SUITES
Edge Villas, the second new suite category on Celebrity Edge. These six, two-story luxury residences are the first of their kind in the fleet. Each offers a spacious 950 square feet of split-level splendor, plus one bedroom and two bathrooms—perfect for up to four guests.  And it has your own hot tub!
I found a video online that shows this suite.  Villa Suite

We were assigned a Concierge Class Infinite balcony cabin.  The picture below shows the cabin that is 27% larger than other cruise ships.  The balcony is part of the room, however, when you close the glass sliding doors you can open the balcony window and you have a proper balcony.  When you are in your room you open the glass doors, close the balcony window and you have a nice sitting area.  An incredible idea and so useful.  The bathrooms are larger than on most ships.  They have a fully glassed in shower with a nice door.  No more shower curtains and showers that flood the bathroom!  What I really appreciated was a low level light under the sink area that you could keep on all night.  If you got up in the night you had enough light to see where you were walking, but not enough to wake you completely up!  So many innovative ideas.

If you want privacy in your cabin there is a shade that is hidden in the ceiling.  You can use the button on the wall or the app on your phone to drop it down!
This is the nicest ship I've ever seen and that includes the six star cruise lines.  The decor is elegant and tasteful.  The extensive use of art and flowers throughout the common areas makes it very inviting.

After November 5th, US election night, I decided to stop watching so much news.  When we were on our cruise, we only got CNN, FOX NEWS and B...
