Celebrity Cruises has ended Dinner on the Edge, a specialty dining experience held on the Magic Carpet platform aboard its Edge-class ships. Guests with existing reservations are being notified that the offering will no longer be available and will receive full refunds to their original form of payment.
In a notice shared by a Celebrity Beyond guest, the cruise line said the change was part of the “continued evolution” of its dining experiences. The company did not give a specific reason for discontinuing the meal.
Dinner on the Edge had been offered at limited times during sailings and, depending on the ship and itinerary, previously cost more than $100 per person. Menus varied by vessel and destination but generally included seafood and steak selections, such as grilled lobster tail and chateaubriand.
The open-air dinner took place on the Magic Carpet, the movable platform featured on Celebrity Edge, Celebrity Apex, Celebrity Beyond, Celebrity Ascent and Celebrity Xcel. The platform also serves as a meeting space, tendering location and nighttime bar. Celebrity Xcite, scheduled to sail from Miami in 2028, is also listed as an Edge-class ship with the feature.
Past guests described mixed experiences with the outdoor setting. Some said wind affected linens, food temperature and comfort, while others considered the unusual setting worthwhile. Sailing schedules and weather forecasts had been factors in when the dinner could be offered.
