rvmckim Posted December 20, 2022 #1 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Leaving on the 11 day Celebrity Edge Holiday cruise in 2 days. (Dec 22nd) Part of the trip will be cruising the Panama Canal. First question would be, are the Edge Cabanas worth the cost and would the sailing day in the Panama Canal be a good day to book one to have some good views?

CHEZMARYLOU Posted December 20, 2022 #2 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I don't think the views would be that good. Doesn't the cabanas face a walkway? If so there will be people standing at the rail and you would be sitting down and back aways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFontaine Posted December 20, 2022 #3 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I second that. Also, there are different ways to experience the Canal, and you should try as many of them as you can. Not sure if there's any public space at the front of the ship - maybe they open the helipad? I'd go there entering the Canal, you should see lots of traffic, and then the sides while in a lock, going up and down, and then aft for that view. I would camp out on the deck above the pool while going between locks for the land view. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix_dream Posted December 21, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I don't know about in December but when we sailed in early April it was SO HOT you would not want to be sitting out in a cabana all day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruising sister Posted December 21, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I was just on the Edge and indeed there is a walkway in front of the cabanas. I do not see any advantage having them for the canal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander500 Posted December 22, 2022 #7 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I was quite surprised to see the location of the cabanas on Edge. They must have been an afterthought. They were mostly empty and with lots of people walking right in front of them. I thought to myself, I would not want to sit there even if it was free.
