New bookings for Edge added. earlier maiden voyage????

[Ox Fan Cruiser]

A travel agency posted on FaceBook that earlier cruises for Edge have been added. 3 nighters to the Bahamas.

Yes, X made that announcement around noon yesterday.

There will be 4, “preview” cruises departing Nov. 21, Nov. 24, Dec. 3 and Dec. 6.

I'm not at all surprised by this? Other X ships have done exactly the same thing previously.

The Edge will be having sea trails at the end of this month according to Lloyd555.

I believe he said that the Symphony of the Seas will have sea trials. The Edge is just moving to another spot.

No sign of them on the Celebrity web pages, that I can see.

They're supposed to be open for booking on Monday.

I just saw this thread and immediately called Celebrity. The agent said that he sees the 3-day cruises on the system, but that they are not open for public booking - he said travel agents only. Is this correct based on what others have heard on this post?

 

:confused:

21, 24, 3, 6 can't be the right dates, can they?

[Pushkin]

The Celebrity agent told me there were 3 dates, the first being November 24th.

I called X on the day they announced the changes for Edge, looking for info about the 3 day cruises. They said that the revenue dept. had not yet opened them for booking but they would be open on Monday. My TA also called and was told the same. Other posts by CC members have reported the same info.

I noticed the gap between the first two dates and the last two. Perhaps X will be hosting TA's and the Press then?

When I questioned the agent mentioning cruise critic threads, he was adamant that he was correct and cruise critic was not.

 

We will see. Historically, I have received more accurate information from cruise critic then celebrity! [emoji57]

Hope this is of help, I have just received an email from another cruise site which states "Celebrity Edge will now be completed ahead of schedule. She will make her official debut on a new 7 night Western Caribbean cruise departing Ft. Lauderdale on December 9th 2018".

[vtcruising]

The Dec 9 cruise is now available on Website - plenty of availability. Prices about the same as Dec 16 cruise. Dec 16 cruise called Maiden Cruise - Dec 9 called Western Carib.

The four 3 day Bahamas cruises are up also. Nov 21, 24 and Dec 3, 6 as previously reported. Ocean view and insides not available- ? for travel agents. Prices are starting at$649 for veranda, 899 for concierge, 1199 AQ , all with 1 perk. S1 suites are $2099 with Go Best.

I have to admit that I got caught up in the fever and booked an aft S1 for Nov 21 and an AQ for Nov 24 to experience the Retreat the first few days and Blu and infinite veranda last 3 days. Super excited!!

Yes, more dates added

Apparently these "Preview Cruises" will double as reveals.

Celebrity seems unwilling to inform those who are booked on the ship what exactly it will look like!!!

Carrying "Trust Me" to a whole new level! ;)

My friend and I just booked a sunset verandah for 11/24...so excited to experience this new ship! We've been to the Bahamas many times...we may just stay on the ship the entire time!

Funny! :D

 

I went "over the edge" this morning when I booked the 2 first preview cruises (who knows if they will actually stay first), knowing these would not likely be typical cruises for us. It take a certain amount of trust, but the surprises will be part of the fun, I guess.

Hi,

 

I decided to book the Nov. 24 preview cruise today. I booked a "Single Stateroom with Infinite Veranda." I have been to Nassau many times, but I am interested in trying this brand new ship. I probably will only leave the ship in port to take pictures of the ship's exterior. :)

Agree! I am not a Bahamas fan - it will be all about experiencing a new ship for us.
