21 days until we board Ascent…but who’s counting?

Interesting aside. Over 700 people have looked at this but only 23 have actually voted. Doesn’t that seems a little low for a simple question? Granted some likely havent cruised on the E-class, myself included, but still seems low. Just a curious observation on my part.

That seems to be the consensus. We have the same challenge.

Interesting… Normandie is the favorite of those polled. Others should chime in!

Ok…this is not fair. 24 days still to we cruise again and you are making me jealous! 😉

That is my understanding but I could be wrong.

I know this is completely subjective and you can order from any of them, but I am curious none the less. So what is your opinion?

This is us and why we sail with Celebrity too. Early 40’s, not looking for a constant party. Enjoy food and relaxing.

Safe travels!

Welcome back and hope all goes well traveling home. Thank you for taking us along on your journey!

Savor your last day, you deserve it!

Any thoughts about JetBlue?

PS what an incredible story and memory. Just wow. 🙂

Wow…we got engaged at sunrise on the beach in Miami the morning we boarded Reflection for the first time (Matt doesn’t like to be the center of attention and I wanted to celebrate the entire cruise). Nothing special for us…and I still love Celebrity. Four weeks from now we will be about to leave for the Ascent to celebrate our 40th birthdays (birthdays are two days apart)!

Capt Kate had a reel I saw earlier from in Bonaire where she went diving. Can’t find the original but here is a different from her with the dolphins she saw. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3GLkmwuRXl/?igsh=MXRtN2dld2ZicGVsMA== https://www.instagram.com/stories/captainkatemccue/3297912823605730507?igsh=bTFoZjE4N29qZnY3

In fairness though, it wasnt founded until 1995 as a feature of AOL and certainly would have taken sometime to really build into something.

You and I must be reading along together because the other one I was following you commented on while I was reading.

We booked Le Voyage on our upcoming Ascent cruise, but I have loved Murano since I worked for Celebrity and got to go to the original on the Century. Goat Cheese Soufflé was always one of my favorites.

Not to long ago I saw someone say that Celebrity wasnt winning awards any more. Not arguing, just offering a counterpoint. The Forbes Travel awards came out and Celebrity Ascent was awarded 4 Star status. Congrats and excited to be sailing on it in a few weeks! https://www.forbestravelguide.com/award-winners

Found this that looks interesting. https://voicemap.me/tour/san-juan/talking-buildings-of-old-san-juan

We arrive in San Juan late afternoon and are planning to just get off the ship and wander. What is your favorite wandering path?

Just a few weeks away now but guessing no one is around here.

Kid counts onboard the ships varies depending on the school calendar. When school is in session you might have 30 kids onboard total. When school is on break several hundred are likely to be onboard. Pluses and minuses to both. On the plus side with lower kid counts is more individualized experiences for the kids as the program can be more easily tailored to them. During the high season programs will be able to fully run with plenty of kids to join in. A few years ago the standard was that however many kids are onboard, about half would show up in the kids program. Youth staff are the best and really care as much about creating a fun experience for kids as anyone else on the ship for the rest of the guests.

The “fancy gentlemen” always throw the best parties! Enjoying your review. 5 weeks til we sail on Ascent and this helps pass the days!

Sincere question. Are you expecting it to be all that different than Ascent?
