Celebrity Edge V Celebrity Reflections and advice on drinks package or not.

[CruiseVirgin2512]

I am looking at booking either Edge 10 nights or Reflections 7 nights both January and Caribbean from Port Everglades. 
A huge different in price about £1250, then there’s the drinks packaged 🤦‍♀️. I don’t drink loads, but like a couple also water and tea/coffee. Husband a few beers. 
They want me to buy premier drinks package when I book, it’s through an agent not Celebrity as cruise cheaper. 
Firstly any help advise and choosing between the ships? 
Do I buy drinks package now or add on through Celebrity? Do they do any deals on them.

Newbie cruiser and really need some friendly help and advise. 
Thanks

I assume edge is the more expensive?  Well it would be because 10 > 7.  I am no fan of edge so I would always take reflection but coming from so far,  that would make a difference……

Base it on the per-diem cost if trying to compare value. EDGE class is HOT... you will pay for the privilege.

Edge class ships are newer and beautiful.  What category of cabin are you planning to book?  If you are considering a suite the Suite experience is better on the Edge as the E class ships are built with a Retreat Sun Deck which the Reflection does not have and the Retreat Lounge is by the Sun Deck.

if you are booking a veranda the Reflection veranda is a true outside  veranda. The Edge has what is called a Infinite veranda which is a interior section of the cabin with a floor to ceiling window and the top half of the window opens.  Some like this type of cabin others dont.

For guests not in a Suite or Aqua class cabin the Edge has 4 smaller dining rooms vs the Reflection which the one large Main Dining Room.  Most like the smaller dining rooms as they feel more like a specialty restaurant.

We love both ships.  So, I do not believe you would be disappointed in either.  But, 10 is always better than 7.  😎
