Wanted to get away from Midwest winter and experience beautiful new ship. Unfortunately chose Spring Break week
which meant Fort Lauderdale was packed with many other ships besides ours leaving Sunday. Traffic from our hotel
was awful but we finally got there. Embarkation was smooth and efficient. Since we were Concierge class we were
able to have a sit down lunch onboard ship at the ...
The Celebrity Ascent is a stunning ship with beautiful design in most areas. It has a modern, upscale feel that's truly enjoyable. However, there were a few shortcomings that surprised us, especially considering this is a new Celebrity ship.
One frustration was the theater. We waited in line for a show in the top section of the Club, only to discover it had limited visibility. The layout seems ...
Second week, new room due to excessive noise from midnight to 3:00am under Craft Social Bar on deck 4. Moved to deck 11 aft, super easy process, clothes stay on hangers load up suitcase with the rest of your stuff and walk off the ship for the turnaround at security check.
Back on board in 20 minutes or less, up the elevator and tada luggage and clothes are on the bed. Put everything back ...
This was a charter cruise so I will try to limit my review to those items to the Celebrity ship itself. We have been on this ship several times in a Consierge cabin with nice balcony. The room was spotless & our cabin steward, Komang, was great. As this was a intense music cruise not a lot of time was spent in the cabin but the time there was comfortable.
We felt the food in the Main Dining ...
What can you really say about a stateroom where the bedding had obviously not been changed from the previous guests. We didn't realize it the day of embarkmentas the sign in our room said, "not ready yet, will be back at 1pm" though the bed had already been made. We dropped our bags and headed out to the pool (where you will absolutely never find a lounger unless you are a very early riser) When ...
First time sailing with Celebrity and my last. Sailed multiple other lines in the states and Europe. Beautiful ship, decent staff, poor customer relations. No shower facilities for the fitness center unless you book something in the spa. Not a big drinker but incorrect charges multiple times. Bars did not appear to have enough staff to handle customer orders. Automatic additional ...
This was may 55th cruise but first time as Elite on Celebrity, We booked a C1 although I had no use for the concierge we booked late. The ship is huge and has many neat areas such as the garden, Eden, and the atrium. There is a lot of whimsical art. I had trouble navigating the layout and found signage to be inadequate. The buffet was almost always crowded although the selections were very good. ...

staff, facilities, shows, specialty restaurants great; travelling in Retreat Class which provides a private dining room, Luminaire, rather than the ships three main dining rooms; service was great: breakfast and lunch were fine, BUT not one good dinner; both the food and the cooking of same were very sub-par.
staffing; wherever yo went, everyone was friendly and informative;
room; nice ...
I almost didn't go on this cruise but I'm glad I did! There was a last minute cancelation which allowed this to happen.
The Ascent is beautiful and modern. Walking into it feels like walking into a high end club. I really appreciated the excellent service from our stateroom attendant, Edy. There are many nationalities on the ship that work very hard for a wonderful cruise for all of us. Please ...
