I am more than happy to share my personal experiences with you.

What is your favourite part of Celebrity Edge®

There is one thing that I will always remember from a trip away and that is the food. Onboard Celebrity Edge® there are 29 unique food and beverage experiences to tickle your tastebuds. That to me is truly impressive alone. With innovative dining experiences and select specialty dining, you really do have it all. You will not be disappointed with what Celebrity Edge® has to offer.

Best port you've sailed to and why?

Having visited over 200+ different ports around the World, this choice is not easy.

 

Istanbul - Sailing down the Bosphorus towards the gateway of Asia really sets off your visit right away. This city has so much to offer, from the beautiful cobbled streets that are steeped in ancient history to fantastic buildings enriched by the Ottoman Empire. You truly do feel like you have been transported back in time whilst exploring here. By night the city comes alive with upscale bars and restaurants showing that Istanbul is a modern metropolis behind its historical curtain. You really do have the best of both worlds here.

Top cruise tip

Always take note of the all aboard time.

When visiting new destinations make the most of every minute spent there, but always keep eye on the time. If you want peace of mind then booking a Celebrity Cruises tour directly is the way to go. This way you will never miss the all aboard time.

What couldn't you travel without in your suitcase?

Most cruise ships chase the sun, so making sure I pack my sunglasses is a must. Do also remember that the ship does have a selection of retail outlets where you can pick up popular items such as sunglasses if you feel like treating yourself to something new.
