A little different on E class in that it’s tucked away in the corner as opposed to S class where it’s in the open near the shops. We seem to be enjoying this one for different reasons… more intimate but not as much people watching. I love that we can hear the live music coming from the martini bar below. Could you please post pics of the menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like there are possible issues w Uber? We usually Uber. However, Uber prices are supply driven so a taxi is occasionally cheaper. The last time we used Uber in October the driver spoke no English. We were on Princess and at the pier outside security so it wasn’t too bad, but it was a bit of a challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When our driver arrived I specifically asked if he was familiar with driving to the cruise terminal. He was. At the terminal he presented his ID and Both DH and me did as well. No issues as long as none of us were carrying a pistol. We weren’t. I would go with Uber. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye94 Posted November 23, 2023 #263 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Late to the thread but not the party! 😀 Happy Anniversary @Georgia_Peaches! I can't think of a better way to celebrate. I'll be on Ascent on Feb with the brother captains. Looking forward to your review. Have fun! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted November 23, 2023 #266 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Been out all day and just catching up. Fantastic pictures. The ship is beautiful. But no match to the picture of the beautiful @Georgia_Peaches How exciting to see the Fire Boats sending you off in STYLE. Only thing you were missing would be streamers throne from the decks... Wouldn't that be fun from a times past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardowMD Posted November 23, 2023 #267 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Thanks to all about transport to port. We are at Embassy suites near port, but they are charging $15pp for transport ….we will target using Uber. We snagged an 1130am check in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the desk still slide into the dresser? Thank you, kwokpot! You are very observant! The mirror is not full length. There is a full length mirror installed on the inside of the closet door. And no, the desk does not slide in. It’s permanently affixed to the wall. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All boat traffic was stopped while we made our grand exit. Lots of fun! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted November 23, 2023 Author #274 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Yesterday’s embarkation was truly one for the record books. I came into this cruise not really knowing what to expect but we have been thrilled with our experience on the brand new Ascent! After getting somewhat acquainted with the layout of the ship we headed to Raw on 5 for embarkation lunch. We were seated by a window which allowed us to people watch as they embarked. Service was on the slow side with almost 30 minutes passing before we placed a food order. However, we enjoyed the food very much. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Georgia_Peaches Posted November 23, 2023 Author #275 Share Posted November 23, 2023 After lunch we ventured to deck 14 where the pool was hopping and the drinks were flowing! Carts of iced beer and soft drinks were being ushered around the pool area making lines at the actual bars move more efficiently than I have seen in the past. We spent some time at the sunset bar which is very well done with seating along the aft of the ship in various places making great conversation areas. My phone was on the charger during this time so darn, we will have to go back for pics! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
