To maintain this essence of the Celebrity dining experience on Ascent, we created the Cosmopolitan Restaurant—the next evolution of our current main restaurants. The walk-through wine display at the entrance sets the scene for the creative cuisine within—new American with global influences. Enjoy regional European wines, deliciously unique cocktails, tantalizing starters, and mouthwatering entrées. One of the most expected entertainment venues you’ll find on Celebrity Ascent is also the most unexpected. A truly contemporary space designed to blur the line between audience and performance, The Theatre immerses you in an unparalleled entertainment experience where the performances are as innovative as the space itself. This Vegas-style casino rivals the biggest and best land-based casinos.
Ships in the Celebrity Cruises fleet
Whether you cruise multiple times per year or you're new to cruising, the goal of Royal Caribbean Blog is for it to be a useful resource for keeping up to date with what's new and exciting with Royal Caribbean. This means the restaurant has been expanded to the edge of the ship so that the restaurant has floor-to-ceiling windows on one side. On Apex, I enjoyed my dinners in Normandie, and this new space looks equally beautiful. New for Ascent is "Smoke and Ivories", which is a musical event that is themed to a 1950s cabaret. It features a piano, hand-to-hand fights, tap solos, passionate duets, and aerial performances.
Hotels
You enter near the Grand Plaza — a multi-story atrium centered around The Martini Bar. This is definitely a hotspot for the ship and during the evenings it gets busy. But it’s also a great initial introduction to the style and atmosphere of the ship. Celebrity went a new direction with its Edge class of ships, beginning with Celebrity Edge that first sailed in late 2018.

Michelle, is the successful founder and executive director of a nonprofit school for children with autism. What started as a mission to help her own son with autism is now a beacon of hope within the broader autism community. These are two sisters on a mission to make a life impact for others in their pursuit to educate, engage and inspire. While we discussed a lot about the ship, there are some spots that we think are worth seeing that we didn’t get a chance to mention. However, those wanting a more sophisticated cruise — think a honeymoon, anniversary, or simply a cruise passenger who appreciates luxury — will find Ascent to be a perfect fit.

The experience in Eden restaurant is inspired by the cuisines and regions of the world. Experience a majestic, open, three-story venue inspired by the piazzas of Italy and the invigorating energy of everyone coming together to savor a taste of the good life. Home to our incredible specialty restaurants, along with our popular Martini Bar, Café al Bacio, and Craft Social Bar. The Grand Plaza is the ultimate gathering place on Celebrity Ascent. On Celebrity Ascent, we take our popular Camp at Sea program to the next level with interactive experiences for younger travelers of all ages. We say it’s “Never the same camp twice,” because it’s the first and only fully customizable Camp at Sea program.
The pool didn't seem to be closed during the party on my sailing, so it's unclear whether swimming will be allowed during the event. Entertainment is phenomenal on the Edge Class vessels, which strive to be funkier than the average cruise ship. When you're talking about song-and-dance performances that incorporate popular tunes throughout the ages, it's easy for the results to be cheesy. Celebrity opened Ascent ship's cruises for booking in February 2022, all based on homeporting in Port Everglades (Florida USA). The 4-day sea trials (in the Bay of Biscay) were conducted in the period September 27-30, 2023. The delivery documents were signed by Jason Liberty (RCG/shipowner), Laura Hodges Bethge (Celebrity Cruises' new President/operator) and Laurent Castaing (shipbuilder).

EDGE-Class ships were designed via an exclusive partnership with Nate Berkus - US interior designer establishing his own company at the age of 24. Actually, Celebrity Ascent starts passenger shipping operations in November 2023. In mid-March 2023 were added two "preview cruises" (both roundtrips from Port Everglades) scheduled to depart on Nov 22nd (4-night Western Caribbean/to Cozumel) and on Nov 26th (3-night Bahamas/to Nassau). However, unofficially, Celebrity Cruises started with Ascent revenue operations on November 22nd (4day Western Caribbean Cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Cozumel Mexico).
Deck 5
The ship is a mostly-identical copy to its immediate sister ship Celebrity Beyond, which has an extra deck of staterooms. Celebrity Ascent ship offers 32 food and beverage serving venues, including 4 main dining rooms/MDRs and 6 new-to-Celebrity Cruises specialty restaurants. In total, the Ascent cruise ship has 15 restaurants, 5 cafes, 12 bars and lounges. "The Club" is another new (dual-purpose) venue with a large dance floor, a stage for live performances, a giant LED screen, and served by its own 2 bars. During the day, The Club offers fun activities and games (including Funovation Laser Maze Challenge, Drone Hunting, laser obstacle course, dance classes, trivia).
Celebrity Cruises' 5th Edge Series ship to be named Celebrity Xcel
The ship's main restaurants are served by dedicated to each table wait staff (sommelier, assistant waiter, head waiter). Passengers are assigned to one of the 4 MDRs but still have the option (upon request) to dine in the other 3. Nothing is more important on a vacation than the place you relax and recharge in between all the exciting experiences you’ll have each day. Our Edge® Series set a new standard in world-class accommodations, but Celebrity AscentSM shows you can even improve on perfection.
Cruise pricing is dynamic and varies for each specific sailing based on factors such as departure point, ports of call, and time of year. Typically newer ships cost more, so a cruise on Celebrity Ascent will likely cost more than other ships in the fleet. The ship's maiden voyage is scheduled for Dec. 3, sailing through the Eastern Caribbean with stops in St. Maarten, St. Thomas and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. The ship will go on to sail seven-night roundtrip voyages in the western and eastern Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale every Sunday. The two sampler sailings include a four-night Western Caribbean itinerary departing from Port Everglades on Nov. 22 calling in Cozumel, Mexico, over the Thanksgiving holiday. The second sailing will span three nights and cruise to Nassau, Bahamas, on Nov. 26.
The ship’s outward-facing design and expanded outdoor spaces are perfect for enjoying the ever-changing views and balmy tropical breezes. Aqua Class is a collection of rooms and suites that includes access to the ship’s Thermal Spa and its own clean-cuisine restaurant Blu. For direct access, travelers can book the two-deck Edge Villas, which offer living spaces on the first deck (complete with jetted tub on the veranda) and bedrooms on the second, which offer direct access to The Retreat Sundeck. Celebrity Ascent is the fourth ship in Celebrity’s Edge Class since Celebrity Edge was launched in 2018.
We will say that those with simpler tastes do have options, but you will need to look around a little more. There are a number of entertainment options around the ship with everything from live music to performances in Eden. First, it should be noted that the inaugural sailing we attended was only about two-thirds full. Even imagining most spaces with a full capacity ship still left plenty of space for everyone (the one exception is The Martini Bar area in the Grand Plaza that got very busy during the evenings). Guests who book a cruise using this promotion will have gratuities and alcohol included. Some sailings are available without this program so pay attention when booking.
Not only can you not easily go to a convenience store if you forget something, but there are also strict rules about what isn’t allowed on cruise ships. Of course, most of these prohibited items make sense and would be considered common knowledge, but some may not be items that you would think to see on the list. Being the fourth ship in the Edge Class series, Celebrity Ascent offers plenty of options when it comes to accommodations. This $60,000 suite boasts over 2,400 square feet, more space than any other cabin onboard. And, of course, no Celebrity show would be complete without jaw-dropping feats of contortion and acrobatics.
Although clubbing isn't something I normally do, I had a good time, despite the humid Bahamas weather. It was definitely one of the most lively pool parties I've attended on a ship. On my voyage, "Smoke & Ivories" was on the schedule for only one performance. On a standard weeklong sailing, the show will be offered on one night at two different times, so there will be one additional chance to see it. I'm just back from Celebrity Ascent, Celebrity Cruises' newest ship and the fourth in its Edge Class of vessels. It's exactly what passengers have come to expect from the line, which offers a modern, edgy take on everything from food to entertainment.
Pair all of that with personalized service, inviting surroundings, and natural light, and you have the fresh and bold experience of Blu. Three decks open to create an airy venue you might find in a cosmopolitan city. Our iconic chandelier hangs proudly above the Martini Bar, taking center stage with our talented bartenders at night during their exciting Flash Flair Fusion performance.
