Fieldofdreams Posted December 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 27, 2023 We are reading conflicting information about cost. Most of what we have read is the cost is $60 pp without the wine flight, however, when we are on the Celebrity site for actually booking reservations the following shows up: Additionally, Celebrity reps are stating that there is only pricing with the wine flights, which I am fairly certain is not correct. If someone who has recently sailed the Ascent and dined for dinner at Eden would provide accurate information that would be great. We are 4 couples trying to make a reservation. Eden From $77.99 / per adult $85.00 onboard $8.99 / per child $10.00 onboard (8% OFF)PRE-CRUISE SAVINGS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Galaxy2004 Posted December 27, 2023 #2 Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) We were on Ascent for the 12/10/23 sailing and had prebooked at a great promo of $44.99/ea - regular then was $65/ea (all in for $107.96 for two). We're booked for the 2/4/24 sailing and it was showing in the app at the same price as yours 2 nights ago but now there are no reservations available. We've done Eden 3 times now and enjoyed it all 3 times, but we never paid what they are asking now and not for sure we would enjoy it as much if we did.

jelayne Posted December 27, 2023 #3 Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) The prices of some of the specialty restaurants was increased very recently. Eden without wine is now $85pp +20% gratuity on board. The pre cruise price, as you see, is a bit less expensive.

Rare Galaxy2004 Posted December 27, 2023 #4 Share Posted December 27, 2023 And ours was NOT with the wine flight. Maybe they are forcing that now?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roxannex Posted December 27, 2023 #7 Share Posted December 27, 2023 They definitely raised prices on Eden and La Voyage. I booked Eden for I think around 60 dollars in November (I think) and now it's up to 77 (pre cruise). And La Voyage also went up. I was going to use that for the my 3 night dining package I purchased and now it says there is a 20 dollar upcharge for La Voyage. There was not one when I booked the package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be that most cruise lines would set a price and stay with that price for a bit, it now seems that they are basing prices upon supply and demand, similar to airline bookings. Have to say if that is the case, that is disappointing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrgabriel Posted December 27, 2023 #12 Share Posted December 27, 2023 We are on Ascent right now and paid $65 US including gratuities in advance. Dinner, not tasting as we have the premium package and why pay twice? In the app at this moment, pricing is $60 pp for meal, $100pp for tasting. Both plus 20% grat.

roxannex Posted December 27, 2023 #13 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Oh, that's interesting. It's priced at 77 before tips for my February 18th sailing. It was cheaper when I bought it, and then it bumped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Jim_Iain Posted December 29, 2023 #21 Share Posted December 29, 2023 (edited) I was just on Edge a couple weeks ago and the price of Eden without discounts was $60 pp without pairing. There is a 20% Gratuity added. In the case of Edge on the current season in Australia and New Zealand they are required to have upfront pricing including tip so on the app it is currently listed at $72.00 ($60 plus 12 Tip) The price with pairing is in the range of $100 plus tip. It is also a requirement that all must order with pairing. As I'm not a drinker that makes it an easy decision.

Not sure that it matters too much at this point, we are not able to get a table for 8 on any day, will likely have to wait until we get on the ship to see if anything opens up. Thanks again for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubarn1 Posted December 29, 2023 #23 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I am on the Ascent in April and the prices have recently increased. Eden is $77.99 with current discount- regular price is $85, La Voyage is $115.99 with current discount- regular price is $125. These prices do not include the 20% gratuity. These prices are not with the wine pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcalv Posted January 27 #24 Share Posted January 27 Eden with discount will be going up to $85 in 2024. My cruise planner for Dec 2024 shows $85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellaTN Posted February 1 #25 Share Posted February 1 I have an Ascent cruise for Feb 2025 and there are no dinner prices or reservations available yet (I’ve had it booked for a year!). We got great deals on our Beyond March 2024 dinners during the flash sale in Sept 2023. Seems to me they are waiting to price 2025 dinners till they figure out what the market will actually bear. I really wish Celebrity had more variety with their specialty restaurants. They need a Mexican restaurant and a proper italian place on the e-class ships!
