Review summary

Without a doubt, this was one of the best vacations I've ever experienced! The Ascent was incredible and the staff were simply amazing! We're already planning our next Celebrity Cruise!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
As a first time cruiser, this was literally the only "stressor" we experienced and it was not directly related to the Cruise Ship. We asked 4 different Security Personnel where we were supposed to drop our luggage and got 4 different responses. Finally (4th Sercurity Agent) instructed us to use a "thumb down" gesture at each checkpoint and they would wave us through to the end of the dock...where we successfully dropped our luggage and parked our personal vehicle.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Pristine, immaculately maintained and staff were ALWAYS courteous and helpful!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We didn't partake in specialty activities as we really were in total relax mode, but the pools, whirlpools and decks were amazing!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The comedian (AJ ???) was great...we really enjoyed his act.

Children's Programs

We do not have children and specifically chose Celebrity for this reason.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We experienced nothing but EXCEPTIONAL service from the staff. Our Room Steward "Wayan" was like having our own personal butler--he was simply amazing! Also, "Maruti" (Sunset Bar) made the best drinks on the entire ship!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Again, the ship was in pristine condition and I don't think we ever saw a single piece of trash or finger smudge during our entire cruise!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our room was absolutely perfect! Again, "Wayan" our Room Attendant made it even better with his exemplary service!

Ship tip

Arriving early is a great idea and learn as much as you can about dropping off your luggage.
