Thanks guys, great video. Was glad you showed the Cabanas as we were debating renting one.

Great tips for the Ascent. Sailing her solo in November!❤

[Cocoatreat]

Great video!!! I adore celebrity!! I was on the beyond in January where it ended & saw the maiden voyage of the ascent! They are very similar ships! I really loved that the beyond has a 24hr gym!!! The food was soooo good! I had such a great time that i do plan to try the ascent very soon! Thank you for the great adventure! Well done!

[emilypowell]

Great video. By the way, we sailed on the same transatlantic cruise together! Amazing ship, crew and amenities. Can’t wait to sail on Celebrity again in the future.

[stuschwartz]

my husband and i love your site....thanks... and we also drop our bags (carry on ourselves) and hop in the pool within since we've been on all the edge ships we don't need to look around....so we enjoy the pool immediately and have an early

Great video guys. Appreciated. Seeing you both rock your speedo swimsuits too. I'm sailing on the Ascent soon, and want to get my legs brown. Is a speedo ok poolside? Do other guys wear them too? I can't face the prospect of boardshorts!

[jessicalee]

Thanks for the great tip you guys! I can’t wait to cruise the Ascent this December!
A question for you guys…
I thought the earliest dining time at one of the four restaurants was 6:30pm. Would they sit you if you show up at 5:15 pm to get a window seat?

[dougjoslin]

Doing the TransAtlantic on October 26th. Lots of Celebrity cruises, Elites, but first Edge class ship.

[lovealwaysjasmine]

Were there a lot of outlets in the room? For phones and iPads?

[stuschwartz]

also your captains club suggestion is important when anyone is doing more Celebrity cruises...

[benjaminsmith]

Good tips however Crafts Social is a sports bar/lounge. I don't view it as a "specialty restaurant."

[ezenkrul]

I am curious if you know how "strict" they are with this no wearing Tshirts in the 4 dining rooms?
