Just returned from a 10night Southern Caribbean cruise on the wonderful Celebrity Ascent. The ship was amazing with a fantastic choice of dining options, absolutely first class buffet, endless quality entertainment, amazing Spa and most importantly, the service from staff was faultless. There was also never a shortage of loungers on board or seating areas - as quiet or busy as you prefer. We sampled the speciality dining in Fine Cut, Raw on 5, Rooftop Garden Grill and Le Voyage. All we're excellent but to be honest, the 4 A La Carte dining options were all extremely high quality. Upgrading to the premium drinks package was worth every penny - definitely must to keep control of your account!! Shore excursions were a little pricey but the 2 we booked were certainly very good - especially the local tour and rum tasting in Antigua. I could write a endless review but the best way is just to book a holiday on the Celebrity Ascent and see for yourself.

We have cruised with Celebrity several times before and have always found them to be wonderful. However Ascent was our 1st time on the Edge class and we were blown away by the fabulous design and decor onboard. The attention to detail is amazing. The restaurants are all wonderful offering fantastic quality food. The entertainment on board is amazing and there are several places where you can sit and listen to music- something for everyone. The martini bar is in the heart of the ship and has a great atmosphere. There are two small plunge pools along with the main pool and an indoor one. The spa is a lovely area should you want treatment’s although they are quite expensive. Wonderful coffee lounge where you can sit and watch the world go by. We would definitely recommend Celebrity and will be returning as soon as we can!
