I'd like to preface this review by mentioning that this was our first cruise.
We had some expectations and some unknowns, and we're anxious about how it would all play out, but we were committed to enjoying this once in a lifetime vacation.
I've read some of the negative comments here and I just have to shake my head. There are some, and you will spot them on the boat fairly quickly, who ...
We took a cruise to celebrate Spring Break. We departed from Miami Terminal G. Upon first arrival in the terminal, the age and lack of cleanliness were apparently going to foreshadow the remainder of the trip. While everyone in the terminal was very nice, it just was not up to the Celebrity status that we have come accustomed to.
Our first stop was in Key West which did go smoothly. It was ...
This cruise has been a total and complete disaster. We are currently on the Celebrity Summit. We got on the ship and should have gone w our gut feeling to turn around and get off. It has been the worst vacation we have ever had! Our room was dirty and disgusting upon arrival. We tried to get off in Key West but due to the Jones Act we would have been charged around $4k to get off. We sucked it up ...
I’ll start this review by saying I am a very experienced cruiser with status on Disney, Royal and Carnival and this was my first and probably last Celebrity cruise for a while.
Starting on a positive note with pros - the interior of the ship was redone during COVID so the rooms are very pretty. We went during a peak week so we did 2 ocean view cabins on the third deck and they were very ...
our 21st cruise. 7th on Celebrity going back to the Century. Sadly our cruising days are over. We booked late so got an inside room on deck 2. It was dirty, missing towels and Kleenex unit our 2nd day. There was no Captain Club welcome, nothing. The ship is worn. How is it a 23 year old ship is still sailing when the beautiful Century got scraped years ago? We easily got into anytime dining at ...
The Ascent is a very nice ship. Very modern, comfortable and didn't feel all that crowded except at the pool during days at sea and Ocean View Cafe during breakfast & lunch.
We stayed in a Infinite Balcony cabin on deck 8 which allowed for more interior space than a typical balcony room but still allowed the balcony experience. I was skeptical of this concept but I really enjoyed it and would ...
1. Embarkation was an issue because we were not told to tell driver Terminal 25.
2. Food was not great, 4 main restaurants had very similar menus and quality was not good in any one.
3. Throughout we thought Celebrity was penny pinching, like the $4.00 charge for coffee at any of the 4 main restaurants.
4. We were told that there were two (2) levels of internet, this proved to be false, ...
Booked the Concierge level for this cruise, and would not recommend. First 2 days had no service until we went to Guest Relations to complain. Kept waiting for steward to show up. Did not get the perks that were to be in the room, like the champagne and tote bag. Had to ask for the bag and the necklace that every cabin received. Two small pools and a solarium pool. Couldn't dock in Bimini so ...
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 ...
