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 ...
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 ...
Just got off the Celebrity Equinox (10 day cruise out of Fort Lauderdale to Aruba, Grand Cayman, and Curacao) and thought I would post my review while everything was still fresh!
We did the Retreat Class (Celebrity Suite) which was remarkable and in our opinion worth the extra price.
The service on this ship is another level. Every single staff member seemed to want to make your cruise ...
This was a boring and dull experience with an invisible Captain George. Saw him the first night and again at Captains Club event...then who knows where he was or what to expect each day of the trip?? This was the opposite from our experience with Captain Leo on the Eclipse - so friendly, visible and informative.
Cruising in February to the Caribbean on this ship was so disappointing - a real ...
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 ...
We have only sailed with Celebrity Cruises (6 in the last 10 years). It’s sad to see that post-Covid, despite investing in refurbishing their ships, they’ve taken away some of the things that made it a 5-star experience.
No longer are you greeted with champagne or a mimosa on entry. In AquaClass rooms, no more daily tea, fruit or canapés. I’m told that’s for concierge class now but AquaClass ...
We were pleasantly surprised with how nice the ship was and how much we liked the whole overall experience after doing our last 2 cruises on Edge-class ships. We were in an Aqua-Class cabin which had a few more amenities which made it a little more special - these included the Persian Garden spa area and the Blu Restaurant. Both were very enjoyable. Our cabin steward, Agus, was friendly and ...
We went on this cruise with several other couples who got a good deal through a travel agent. We have been on several other cruises, but this was our first with Celebrity. We were in room which was near the front of the ship. Our room was very nice. The food on this ship is comparable to other cruise lines. There were not as many bells and whistles on this ship as with some others, but this ...
EMBARKATION DAY: Easy peasy. First of all, we live about 38 minutes from Port Everglade, so that part is a pleasure and part of why cruising is such a stress free escape for us. Terminal 25 is beautiful...we arrived at about 11 and as Retreat guests, we were guided to some elevators where we were checked on an ipad and walking up the gangway within minutes. We walked to our room and entered ...
