Author: Bill
Updated: On Jan 6, 2019 Carnival announced they are suspending and re-evaluating room service charges.

Eden on Celebrity Edge - Photo Album
Author: Bill
Celebrity Edge offers a space all the way aft (at the back) that has tall windows, wrapping around over 180 degrees, where you can dine, get a hand-crafted cocktail, read a book, sit outside, or experience the amazing performers in a rather unconventional display of talents.

For photos and videos, be sure to check out our live blogs and other articles linked in the show notes below.

After my late night at The Club and the outdoor area of Eden, I stayed in bed fairly late. Late for me, normal for Billy. When I got up, I wanted to check out Eden Cafe for lunch again. Hoping they opened at 11:30am, I got there at 11:45am to find the cafe opens at noon. The staff members were making their final preparations for the day’s lunch service... read more
