My family sailed on the Dec. 17th sailing of Ascent and LOVED it! We sailed Apex in 2022. Also loved it! Some of the enhancements on Ascent include improvement with the bar experience (including a 360 degree Martini Bar and the World Class Bar), an improved dining experience (Le Voyage & the enclosing of the Rooftop Garden Grill) to name a few! It is a truly beautiful ship. We also thoroughly enjoyed the show "Bridges". I cannot wait to sail her again. We are also eyeing the next iteration, Xcel for 2025.
