Celebrity Ascent Cruise Ship 2026 | Our Honest Full Review | The Good, Bad & Ugly

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive review of their seven night Caribbean voyage on the Celebrity Ascent, the newest ship in the Edge class. They begin by highlighting positive aspects, including the spacious deluxe inside staterooms with high quality bathrooms and significant improvements to the pool deck design, which now features more shade and comfortable seating. They praise the private Annex experience, the diverse entertainment options like the Eden and main production casts, and the interactive Game On activity. The food quality is described as consistently high across various dining venues. However, the review transitions into negative experiences, noting that inside cabins can feel dark and that seating for certain shows remains a challenge. They express disappointment regarding underwhelming pub games, a lack of solo traveler meetups, and the absence of new dining menus for the maiden voyage. Additionally, they mention increased drink prices and spotty Wi-Fi connectivity. The review concludes with an ugly finding: a major production show called Residency was not ready for the maiden voyage despite previous assurances. Ultimately, the creators conclude that the cruise was fantastic and they intend to sail on the ship again.
