Creator's Key Takeaways

It was the first time my mom cruised with me where I wasn't crew.

We can't find your booking and they can't find us.

After spending a week on board Celebrity Ascent, I totally get why people are loyal to Celebrity.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive early for tender ports to avoid crowds.
Wear sensible footwear for cobbly streets and uneven paths.
Use the magic carpet for smoother tender embarkation.

BOOK A CRUISE --------------------------- To Book Call: +1 (407) 845-9181 Book All Cruises Online: Website: https://cruisingascrew.membercruises.com/home-page HEY SAILORS, ------------------------- This was a seven-night sailing on Celebrity’s newest ship, with stops in Santorini, Mykonos, Kuşadası, and Malta. It was also the first time I cruised with my mum as a guest and not as crew. That alone made the trip really special. From beautiful port days to unexpected windstorms that cleared the pool deck, this cruise was full of surprises. In this video, I’m sharing my full experience onboard Celebrity Ascent, from embarkation day right through to disembarkation. I’ll take you through the highlights and the hiccups, including a surprise reunion with an old shipmate, some slightly chaotic tender ports, a few hits and misses in the entertainment lineup, and my honest thoughts on the food, cabins, and overall vibe of the ship. As someone who used to work on cruise ships, I look at things a little differently — and I’ll be giving you a balanced perspective on whether Celebrity really lives up to the hype. Is the Infinite Veranda cabin design a win or a weird compromise? Did the ship feel crowded? What’s the real value in choosing Celebrity over other lines in this price range? Whether you’re a first-time cruiser, a Celebrity regular, or just here for the stories, I hope this video gives you an honest and entertaining look at what it’s like to sail on Celebrity Ascent. And yes, we will be talking about the “genuine fakes” in Turkey. If you’re thinking about booking a Celebrity cruise, I always recommend working with Cruises It. I’ve partnered with them because they not only offer the best prices, but they also provide fantastic service and often include little extras like onboard credit or surprise upgrades. You can find my personal link in the description below or give them a call to chat with the team I use myself. Thanks for watching, and let me know in the comments if you’ve sailed with Celebrity or if this ship is on your list.
