Celebrity Ascent Cruise Reviews

1. The infinite balcony is simply not a balcony; it’s a sunroom with a window that opens. No more debate needed. 2. Our 15th cruise and we missed our balcony but didn’t hate the sunroom concept. On sea days, when the decks are crowded, we missed the option of being able to sit out on our own balcony. 3. The fitness center was small and mostly crowded, especially on sea days. Miss the ...

Just got off celebrity Ascent out of Fort Lauderdale. We chose to get into Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood the day before and stay at hotel. We had a concierge room and a 12:30 boarding time. We decided to get to port at 11:30 and wait in the area. Well, We called for Uber (15$ compared to shuttle from hotel 15$ each) at 10:28 AM, Uber picked us up at 10:30, we were at terminal at 10:45 expecting to ...

After being on the Apex twice last year, we were excited to try a shiny new E class ship. The Ascent is beautiful with gorgeous spaces all over the ship. This is the first cruise where we, as a young at heart late 60/early 70's couple felt old LOL. Celebrity is clearly drawing a younger demographic, which is great, but having later shows, later deck parties, later silent discos excludes ...

After a cruise a few months ago on the Sky Princess, which I did not like at all, I wasn't sure what I was going to think about the Ascent. I had taken a many years long break from cruising, and I found the food and entertainment on Princess lacking. However, my experience on the Ascent was totally different, and while I was on board I even booked two more Celebrity cruises. First of all, the ...

Loved the cruise and the crew, all very top notch. The Infinite Veranda stateroom was quite spacious (for a cruise ship), with great storage and even a spacious bathroom. While we ate at 3 of the “upgrade” restaurants, there really is no need for these, as the standard restaurants are quite beautiful, and the food is great. La Voyage was our least favorite, as it’s an internal restaurant with ...

We are three couples in our late 50s with lots of cruising experience on other lines [RC, Carnival and Disney] as well as once before on the Edge. Our experience on the Ascent really topped every one of our prior cruises by a long shot. We kept walking around saying "wow this is so nice" ... to the service, the ship, the food, and the entertainment. I'm afraid we are spoiled for all future ...

We wanted to cruise on the Ascent since it was new and we'd heard nice things. We've cruised with Celebrity before as well as Holland America, Princess, Viking and Silver Sea so we are not strangers to sailing. We had a Sky Suite and weren't very impressed with the size at all. Room walls were creaky-enough noise to keep us awake, nightstands had no drawers, in the shower the soaps, shampoos, ...

This is a beautiful, modernly decorated ship with great spaces, excellent food, and high energy activities. First, the ship is incredibly laid out and decorated. Even on sea days with beautiful weather, there was always a place where you could find peace and quiet. The promenade on deck five is a great space to take a walk and is almost never populated. Our inside accessible cabin was well ...

The ship is beautiful. We didn't eat in any of the restaurants you had to pay extra for, but the 4 main dining rooms were excellent. The Oceanview grill, the buffet restaurant, was great any time of the day. The pizza station smelled great, but not that tasty. They had a burger eatery ,the burgers were very good. Desserts were very delicious. We had an inside room that was very spacious ,with a ...

We had room and it was very noisy. There was a constant humming noise and after day 4 we asked to change rooms. Our new room, which ended up being under The Club was better, but then we had to deal with the boom boom from The Club late at night. It was a fun cruise with amazing food and entertainment, but we came home exhausted. I would add that we informed Celebrity that this was our 18th ...
