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, ...
We had a simply wonderful time on Reflection this past week. It was our first time sailing with Celebrity and it won't be our last! A few notes:
We spent two nights in at the Courtyard at Fort Lauderdale Beach prior to the cruise. We had a stupendous view and really enjoyed watching ships coming in and seeing the Reflection waiting for us on the second morning. We had a King Junior Suite ...
As a past cruiser with Celebrity for the past twenty years I am saddened to report that the cruise line had gone downhill in terms of food variety, entertainment, and staffing in an obvious way to save money while raising prices.
The fault in not on the staff, the are friendly and helpful and always smiling, and they keep the ship clean and safe.
However, in the mdr the appetizers except ...
I just returned from the Celebrity Eclipse on a 12-night journey through Patagonia. I was very disappointed with the overall quality of this cruise in many ways. Having taken 41 cruises on different cruise lines, including some with Celebrity, I have ample references to comment on this trip.
First, I want to start by saying that it's not worth acquiring an upgrade to a suite. I acquired ...
A 23 year old ship is never going to be impressive compared to a glitzy new one, but you know that before you board. What Infinity might lack in the the latest pizzazz it more than makes up for in style and friendliness and the recent dry-dock has left her nicely smartened up. Many carpets, furniture and beds have been replaced. (They even renewed many balcony chairs mid cruise).
Being a ...
We had a wonderful time on our 10-day cruise!! Eddy Jenkins was an awesome cruise director, and the entire staff was friendly and anxious to see that we had a good time and enjoyed good service! The rooms were cleaned twice daily, the food was abundant and delicious, and the desserts were "to die for." We enjoyed all of the ports visited, especially Antigua and St. Maarten. The entertainment ...
Our recent voyage (sailing date of March 24th) aboard the Celebrity Cruise Ship Ascent left much to be desired. While there were aspects of the journey that were enjoyable, such as the exceptional service provided by most staff members, our experience was marred by significant issues.
One of the main problems we encountered was the unbearable noise in our assigned room located on Deck12 in the ...
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 ...
We did a transatlantic in March 2024 from Tampa to Barcelona. We regret to say that, with a few exceptions, this cruise was very disappointing. The worst thing was the food. It became a real problem. To begin with, it was very very repetitive. After three days we realized that almost two thirds of the buffet was the same for lunch and dinner everyday. That might not have been such a problem if ...
