What’s It Really Like on Celebrity Ascent with 3,500 Guests? (Sea Day & Chania Guide)
Can a ship with 3,500 passengers still feel relaxing? Join us on Celebrity Ascent for our first sea day as we explore the ship, from the quiet corners of the rooftop garden to the lively energy of the theater. We also share our honest first impressions of Chania, Crete—find out why we went from being "underwhelmed" to "very well-whelmed!" In this video: Exploring Celebrity Ascent: We check out the Cafe al Bacio, the retro arcade in The Club, and the beautiful (and serious!) pickleball court area. Dining & Drinks: From the best Old Fashioned we’ve ever had at the Craft Social Bar to a disappointing Margarita by the pool. Entertainment: Our thoughts on the "Residency" theater show and the incredible stage technology. Port Day in Chania: Taking the shuttle into town, navigating the touristy spots, and finally discovering the stunning old harbor and marina. Sunset Views: Ending the day with an Aperol Spritz on the Sunset Bar as we sail toward Santorini. Ready to plan your own getaway? Lisa is ready to book your next cruise!
