      Hi there, how exciting! Wishing you a fabulous time in February. By coincidence as I write this we are staring out the window looking across the bay, and the Celebrity Ascent is right opposite us!
      We're on a cruise with Azamara, and we're in Portofino, anchored out to sea, and the Ascent is right here too!

      No doubt you will have a fabulous time!!! Celebrity was the first cruise I ever went on!! It was a small ship and I did not have the world's best cabin but it was still absolutely phenomenal!! I had my 3-year-old and 9 year old daughters with me and they were treated like royalty!!

You and your wife are such a great couple, her saying almost says wet paint don’t touch was something my wife would say.

    brilliant review and video. Reminds me so much of Celebrity beyond that we cruised last year. We never got sample much of the late night life, as we undulged a very lot in the beautiful cocktails, from very early in the day, every day. Made up for it most days by getting up early and doing 10 laps of the running track. And then indulging in eggs bendicts daily. Great memories.

    I love the review. Food looks very good. I still don't care for the ship and perhaps when you go on the Infinity, if that's the one you're sailing on, you'll see my point better about what's lacking in the public mix and mingle areas of the Edge class ships. The entertainment seems to be "high energy." Is there any American songbook type of entertainment? Any romantic feel on the ship? I'm not feeling it. It's a different Celebrity than the one I'm fond of and while I'm fine with moving forward and adapting to changes, there is an essence I find missing on this ship in every single tour and activities video I've watched.

    • @ritzytravelguide
