Review summary

Best cruise in 55. We loved it so much booked it again,

Embarkation

5 out of 5

With the App was on the ship in about 20 minutes max. Amazing.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The drinks were all so good every bar had great choices and the bartenders were all so pleasant and knowledgeable. Great food in the 4 main dining rooms and what to say about the outstanding chives in the buffet. The last day although very crowded the buffet had to best I’ve ever seen in 55 cruises.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5

So talented and it to be missed. All the shows in Eden and the Theatre.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

5 stars to all of them.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

No flaws in the Edge design except maybe lack of seating in Eden for the shows but I guess they didn’t know it would become a very popular bar. They should have on the second floor seats like jump seat style to try and accommodate most.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Great Oceanview cabin and love the bathroom.

Ship tip

If you want to attend the shows arrive at least 30 minutes prior and grab yourself a drink a relax before the show as they get filled up very fast.

I was just on Ascent for New Years Eve. It was spectacular. I did not have one bad bite of food. Drinks were phenomenal and the cruise director was amazing. That was my first experience with Celebrity and we loved it so much we booked XCel for New years 2025
