Trip Bacon β€” The secret ingredient to the perfect getaway logo

Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators document a day spent onboard the Celebrity Ascent during its first port of call in Cozumel. The day begins with a room service breakfast featuring various types of bacon and an omelet, which they enjoy while viewing the port. After spending time at the ship's pools and hot tubs, the creators decide to remain onboard rather than walking to local taco shops. They explore the ship's dining options, including a visit to the specialty restaurant Raw on 5, which they note is actually called Sushi on 5. The creators also embark on a cookie tour, sampling chocolate chip cookies from multiple locations like Eden Cafe and Ocean View Cafe to determine which is the best. The day concludes with a dinner at the Rooftop Garden Grill, where they discuss the value of visiting CocoCay beach clubs, and an evening entertainment show featuring jazz and acrobatic elements. They end the day by testing the ship's mobile app features for controlling stateroom settings.

Creator's Key Takeaways

our room service breakfast was actually really good we came up to deck 15 and we're going to start our day off in this hot tub

I think it's actually the best cruise chocolate chip cookie I've had to date

I would only say do the beach club if you've done CoCo Key a lot

everything was really good except for the ribs so don't get the ribs

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Stay on the ship on port days if the port is far and you want to explore the ship more.
βœ“Try the cookie tour to find the best chocolate chip cookie on board.
βœ“Consider the beach club at CoCo Key only if you've visited multiple times.
βœ“If two large ships are at Perfect Day, the beach club might be worth a higher price.
