Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) to the Western Caribbean Cruise Reviews

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 ...

Overall, my husband and I had a great trip. The excursions were fantastic, the room was great and the staff are very personable. However, being a young married couple without children, there is very little entertainment catered to our generation. Most of the entertainment was for the elderly or for young children. Unless you wait later in the night then there are a couple of shows or parties, ...

This was my first cruise ever. I'm usually a plan my own itinerary, airbnb type of traveller. My husband and I went with 2 other couples, both of which were experienced cruisers. The ship was very clean and well maintained. We had a balcony stateroom which was well laid out, spotlessly clean and had plenty of storage. My only complaint about the stateroom was the water in the shower could ...

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 ...

Let me just start by saying…. My first cruise experience was Carnival. I never went back due to the Loud, party, chaotic atmosphere that some may enjoy but was not my pleasure. Safety and security on and off the boat is a joke. Tender cards are not monitored. First come first serve. We got kicked from our tender boat as other just hopped on when they wanted to go ashore. We waited 1.5hrs to ...

Service was sub-par compared to other cruise lines. Reservations are required for dining room & impossible to get. Waiting in line for meals is the norm. You don't have a set seating time, table, or server.so meals are anonymous. Cabibs were VERY small not well cleaned. Mold in showe, shower gel and shampoo, and toilet not cleaned once the entire week.Room service is SLOW; 90 minutes minimum ...

This was our first cruise! Our first happy surprise is that we were upgraded from an inside cabin to a verandah. We were absolutely thrilled! We spent quite a bit of time on our covered verandah enjoying the incredible views. We are in our mid-40's and were definitely on the younger end of our cruise's population, but we didn't mind. We definitely preferred that to a bunch of partying spring ...

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 ...
