Review summary

More accessible drinking water is necessary for your passengers. I will not book another cruise with your fleet unless the issue with lack of water is addressed. Thank you for listening.

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

The food and drinks were fine, but I have one complaint. This new ship made it very difficult to obtain drinking water. We had to go up to deck 14, Ocean Air buffet to find water. When leaving the ship for our excursions, no water was provided. I became so dehydrated in the heat, that I was very dizzy and in need of water. I purchased a bottle of water after the second excursion for $1, but found the same bottle of water on the ship was $5. The small one-third full cups of water near the gangway when we returned did not meet the need for water. This seems like a little issue, but the two cruises we just finished did provid more than adequate water for all excursions.

Arrived much too late to be able to enjoy San Juan. Darkness was an issue so we went back to the ship.

It’s well known that bottled water is not provided without a drinks package. It’s also well known u are bring your own bottles water (2 cases per passenger, I believe) and it’s also well known u can bring a reusable empty water bottle and fill it a buffet before u Lea e the ship

We take our own reusable bottles, and fill them as needed/desired.

Celebrity does not monitor this site. If you want them to hear you, you will have to direct your concerns to them directly.

I suggest that you purchase a container that you can fill with water to have on hand

Thanks for sharing your cruise experience with us. We've always had at least a basic drink package on Celebrity so unlimited bottles of water were never an issue for us.

Another Great Cruise aboard the Celebrity Ascent.

Nice experience for my first cruise line, some things to work on though.

Great trip
