Does the Edge also have a bow bulb?  Usually there is a stencil diagram on the hull and I don't see one so suspect it is not there...

 

Hi Leon

 

Celebrity Edge's parabolic ultra-bow is supposed to be a refinement of the bulbous bow that most oceangoing ships have used since the 1980s to move more smoothly through the waves. For the Edge, the engineers at Celebrity and the Chantiers de l'Atlantique shipyard came up with a casing with a parabolic shape that encapsulates the bulb on the bow of the Edge. Also, the shape of the bow as it rises toward the deck is much closer to vertical than the raked bows of the past. So the answer is no as to the bulbous bow we are used to seeing when it comes to the Edge
