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 ...
We just completed (Feb 2024) a five day cruise on Celebrity Summit, from Miami, with port calls in Nassau and Cozumel. I was very excited when we booked the cruise last September, but became apprehensive after reading some of the reviews on cruise critic. However, I am happy to report that we truly enjoyed our five days on the Summit. From the moment we stepped on the ship, to the moment we left ...
This was our 6th cruise with Celebrity. We are in our eighties and have cruised 19 times. This was a cruise to the Dutch Islands of the Caribbean. As usual we made use of an outstanding cruise consultant with Expedia Cruises.
All the necessary information is on the Celebrity web site. The Celebrity App is really needed to avoid confusion. However, in our case, going cruising is ...
We booked this cruise when we were on the Apex cruising Ireland and Iceland in 2022. We wanted to experience an E-class ship on a warm weather itinerary. Just my husband and I looking for a warm getaway from a winter in the Northeast. Of course, the last 2-3 winters have been pretty mild. We got a great deal on an Aqua Sky Suite with $1500 on board credit and used the last of our pandemic future ...
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 ...
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 ...
The Murano Restaurant
The Maitre D - Aurelian for the restaurant not only visited with me personally, the entire crew has made my visit so special I have returned twice. My Chef de Rang Yessica is the best. The Chef Sebastian is awesome. He came to my table. The Sea Bass and the lobster was amazing. The sommelier Ivana was exceptional at pairing wine and very pleasant to work with. The ...
After reading dozens of reviews here about the Equinox, I echo just about everything mentioned. The ship is in excellent shape for being 15 years old and the lack of even a single outlet on either side of the bed was a sore point with my wife and I. Even the two outlets on the desk fell way short of what we required. Thankfully Celebrity fixed this on the newer ships such as the Beyond, which we ...
The reason for choosing this cruise was the itinerary because I never traveled to Bimini Bahamas. I’m a Floridian living in New York for very personal reasons and I needed a getaway. I’ve cruised Carnival, Norwegian and even the Margueriteaville at Sea. So I certainly wanted to upgrade. I booked a Royal Suite with the Butler and the whole nine yards. I’ve sailed this way before on Norwegian twice ...
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 ...
