Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive review of their experience aboard the Celebrity Ascent, evaluating various aspects of the cruise including dining, accommodations, technology, and entertainment. They begin by discussing breakfast options, comparing the calm atmosphere of the main dining room to the hectic nature of the buffet. During their time in Italy, they highlight the benefit of long port stays in the Mediterranean, which allows for independent exploration of locations like Positano. The creators offer a critique of the infinite veranda staterooms, noting that while the rooms are spacious and well-decorated, the window design can make the cabin uncomfortably warm. They praise the ship's technology, specifically the user-friendly mobile app, and the high quality of the food, awarding the dining experience a perfect score. The review concludes with high praise for the crew's attentiveness and the high-caliber production shows.
