Planned is everything: it adds the hour-by-hour plan for each day, the flights and transfers, and the bookings and payment dates.
Miami to the Caribbean, and back
Eight days, starting and ending in Miami. The ship crosses to Nassau, sails out into the Atlantic to San Juan for the birthday, calls at St Maarten and heads home past the Bahamas. Tap any port to jump to its day.
London to Miami, and back
The flights are booked separately from the cruise, so you fly out the day before and spend a night in Miami. A late flight then can't make you miss the ship.

The newest of Celebrity's Edge-class ships, launched in late 2025. Three of your eight days are at sea, so it's worth learning your way around.

What All Included gives you
Home for seven nights
An Infinite Veranda stateroom on deck 9: the glass wall at the end lowers, turning the sitting area into a veranda. The plan is an illustration with approximate sizes.
The bathroom has a shower only, no tub. For breakfast in the stateroom, fill in the door-hanger card the night before.
In the cabin
The paperwork, in one place
References, payments and contacts. The copy buttons put each value on your clipboard.
Before you sail
Ticks sync between your phones. Deadlines turn amber two weeks out and red once they've passed.
