Creator's Key Takeaways

I have no complaints about the ship and I think it's beautiful I would not hesitate to sail this ship again

the entertainment was outstanding now I will say off the bat that one of the shows we were supposed to see that week was cancelled due to technical difficulties but the shows that we were offered were wonderful

I found the food in the main dining rooms to be excellent and the service was excellent

this was a beautiful ship if you're in the mood for relaxing and enjoying a cruise ship cruising around the Caribbean and just enjoying the warm warm weather the pools the hot tubs having a drink listening to live music doing a little dancing this is the cruise for you

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you have small children, check if Celebrity Ascent is the best fit for your family, as activities are more adult-oriented.
βœ“Try the vegan cake even if you're not vegan, as it was found to be better than non-vegan cakes.
βœ“Book a thermal pass for the spa's thermal suite, but expect it to be busy.
