Frequently Asked Questions
She measures 141,420 gross tons and 327 metres by 39, with 17 decks and 1,646 staterooms. She carries 3,260 guests at double occupancy, up to 3,937 with every berth filled, and 1,400 crew. She shares her stretched hull with Celebrity Beyond and Celebrity Xcel.
Double occupancy quotes 3,260, but maximum capacity reaches 3,937 with every berth filled, 677 more people. During March break and summer, a Fort Lauderdale departure can approach that maximum, and you feel it at the Oceanview Café buffet, at the lifts and at the pool. The 11- and 12-night Mediterranean voyages from Rome draw an older clientele and rarely fill the extra berths. Ask for the projected load before choosing your date.
Compared with Celebrity Beyond, Ascent received a private dining room at Le Voyage, a Sunset Bar rebuilt around Moroccan cooking and design, two plunge pools at the Rooftop Garden, a redesigned Cosmopolitan main dining room and The Annex, a flexible space for sports simulators and karaoke. The argument that matters most to a buyer is elsewhere: Ascent holds her service speed and her port times, which Beyond has been unable to do since July 2025. Against Xcel, she keeps Eden rather than The Bazaar.
From May to October 2026 she runs 11- and 12-night Mediterranean round trips from Civitavecchia-Rome, calling at Crete, Mykonos, Santorini, Turkey and Naples. She leaves Rome on 30 October 2026 on a 14-night transatlantic to Fort Lauderdale by way of Bermuda. She then runs 11- and 12-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruises.
The pattern repeats: Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale January to April 2027, Mediterranean from Rome May to October 2027, with added 10- to 14-night Southern Caribbean and Panama Canal voyages, then a Rome to Fort Lauderdale crossing on 29 October 2027. For the Mediterranean season, Montreal has nonstop summer flights to Rome, and Civitavecchia is an hour away by road or 80 minutes by train from Termini station. For the Caribbean season, Fort Lauderdale has nonstop service from Montreal year-round. In both cases, buy the hotel night before embarkation.
For the Mediterranean, a midship Infinite Veranda on decks 8 to 10 gives the best compromise between quiet and stability. A guest who wants an open balcony has to ask specifically for an aft Sunset Veranda. AquaClass opens the Blu restaurant, whose lighter menu now includes lobster, along with the thermal suite. The Retreat covers Sky Suite, Celebrity Suite, Royal Suite, Penthouse, Iconic Suite and the two-storey Edge Villa with hot tub; avoid decks 3 and 4 near the Martini Bar, the noisiest aboard.
Four main dining rooms are included, among them the redesigned Cosmopolitan, with the Oceanview Café, Il Secondo Bacio, Eden Café, the Spa Café and Mast Grill. Extra-charge venues are Le Voyage by Daniel Boulud with its private room, Eden reworked by chef Cornelius Gallagher, Fine Cut Steakhouse, Raw on 5 and Le Petit Chef. Luminae at The Retreat serves suites and Blu serves AquaClass. Bars include the World Class Bar, the Moroccan Sunset Bar, the Martini Bar, Craft Social, Mast Bar, Eden Bar, Pool Bar, The Club and the Retreat Lounge.
The most consistent complaint in reviews is noise: background music plays loudly indoors and out, and finding a quiet corner to read becomes hard work. Staterooms on decks 3 and 4 near the Martini Bar suffer most. The Infinite Veranda poses the same problems as across the class, particularly in the Caribbean. The ship is also short on family facilities, with no waterslide and no rock wall.
The four main dining rooms including Cosmopolitan, the Oceanview Café buffet, Mast Grill, Eden Café, the shows, the pool and the gym are included. The All Included fare adds drinks, Wi-Fi and gratuities, and this ship carries the Premium Wi-Fi tier. Le Voyage, Fine Cut Steakhouse, Eden and Raw on 5 remain payable. On 11- and 12-night Mediterranean itineraries, shore excursions make up a large share of the total budget and should be booked in advance.
Daily service charges post to your onboard account by stateroom category, from standard to Retreat suite, and All Included fares cover them. AquaClass and Retreat bookings made on or after 14 July 2022 include them too. A gratuity is added automatically to drinks at the Sunset Bar and the World Class Bar and to paid meals at Le Voyage. On a 12-night Mediterranean voyage that accumulates over nearly two weeks, which is worth calculating before you leave.
The 11- and 12-night Mediterranean itineraries have few sea days and many ports where you eat and drink ashore, which works against the package. On the 30 October 2026 crossing, with its long stretches at sea, it becomes markedly more attractive. The Moroccan Sunset Bar and the World Class Bar are covered under the per-item ceiling, though some signature cocktails exceed it. Wines by the glass at Blu are covered, bottles are not.
The ship offers Premium Wi-Fi over Starlink, with video calls, streaming and large file transfers, alongside the Basic tier for light browsing. Coverage in the Mediterranean is very good, including in the Aegean between Mykonos and Santorini. On the crossing to Fort Lauderdale the signal holds up in mid-Atlantic. Premium is included in the All Included fare.
Camp at Sea takes ages 3 to 5, 6 to 9, 10 to 12 and teens 13 to 17 at no charge during regular hours, but there is no nursery and no care for children under 3, and a child must be toilet trained. The Annex, with sports simulators and karaoke, appeals to teenagers. The 11- and 12-night Mediterranean voyages are long for young children and heavy on cultural sightseeing. Caribbean weeks from Fort Lauderdale suit a family better.
Tiers run from Preview to Zenith, with Double Zenith and Triple Zenith milestones added in June 2026. The daily Elite gathering from 5 to 7 p.m. lines up neatly with sunset at the Moroccan Sunset Bar, especially in the Aegean. Elite Plus members receive a discount on paid restaurants, useful at Le Voyage and its private room. The 11- and 12-night itineraries accumulate points faster than standard weeks.
The Mediterranean from May to October is generally kind, though the mistral and the meltemi can raise a short sea in the Aegean, especially in July and August. The 30 October 2026 crossing takes the North Atlantic in a rougher season. Book a midship stateroom on decks 8 to 10, and remember that 327 metres and modern stabilisers absorb most of the movement. AquaClass, high up but central, remains a good compromise.
