Well done, that was excellent, following in the finest example of quintessential British comedy,. You and your wife are a delight.
So kind of you to say, many thanks indeed!
Love love your cheeky ♥️ narration and totally complete and helpful guide to cruising and traveling.I dare say Bill, you were born for this! !❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Awww, so kind of you to say, many thanks indeed 😊
We just booked a Western Caribbean cruise in Feb 2025, based solely on your review! This will be our first Celebrity cruise and hopefully the beginning of many to come. Thank you!
Hi there, how exciting! Wishing you a fabulous time in February. By coincidence as I write this we are staring out the window looking across the bay, and the Celebrity Ascent is right opposite us!
We're on a cruise with Azamara, and we're in Portofino, anchored out to sea, and the Ascent is right here too!
No doubt you will have a fabulous time!!! Celebrity was the first cruise I ever went on!! It was a small ship and I did not have the world's best cabin but it was still absolutely phenomenal!! I had my 3-year-old and 9 year old daughters with me and they were treated like royalty!!
@butchieblock9118 We have been on 6 Carnival ships and 1 Royal Caribbean. We will be on the Celebrity Beyond in May. We are so looking forward to Celibrity.
Wonderful! I love watching your cruise reviews. So enthralling. It's like we are there with you.
So nice of you, thank you indeed!
Another masterpiece! The short glimpse of your wife's expression when you arrived with the mini desserts (4:20 into your video) was priceless. Looking forward to the next instalment.
I know, I did get a reprimanding look didn't I ! My wife is very healthy.... and I have far less willpower!
Bahamas video out next week.
Great video Bill. We especially love your food reviews!
Thank you Chris, we enjoy eating them!
I truly love your style of videos! Great job!
Thank you very much, lovely to hear!
Thank you Bill, this was a thoroughly enjoyable video. I felt like I was on the cruise. And all that scrumptious food! I adore your wife's spirit and the easy rapport between the two of you is also pleasant to see. Cheers!
Hi Kate, thank you so much! Yes, the food was scrumptious!
Great content and loved the commentary!
🙏🏻✝️❤️🕉🪷💙🕊
Hi there, many thanks!
Loved the video, very informative.
Hi Alexandra, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Loved this video. Well done!
Thanks so much Gail
Thanks for another great video. Till next time!
Thanks so much Ronald, till next time!
Very entertaining and also hitting all the highlights….well done
Many thanks!
You are a delight. I smiled through your entire video. 🙏
So kind of you to say!
Love this!!!! The time and effort you put into this is apparent. I feel like I'm there!! I love cruising, but, alas and alack, my husband cares for it not. So I'm very, very much enjoying watching you and your wife living the good life. Please continue the onboard cruise reviews!
Hi Becky, thanks so much for your kind words. One day you will convince your husband to cruise!
Excellent again informative and funny. Thanks guys 🤩🤩🤩
Very kind, thank you Shilpa!
I just subscribed to your channel after watching a couple of other reviews and tours. Love the honesty and very matter of fact way you give your listeners a great show. You and your wife are such a great couple, her saying almost says wet paint don’t touch was something my wife would say. Definitely remind me of my wife and I, I’m more blunt and she is smooth as a river rock.
Hi Scotty, thanks so much for your kind comments, and great to have you with us!
That was good detailed description ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for your videos. Everyone gives nice tours of this ship but love you give day to day what’s going on. Can’t wait for our sailing July 2024. Love the way you narrated it all. 😊😊👍🏼
Thank you Jane, have a great cruise in July 🙂
Another great video! We are cruising the Celebrity Beyond in May. We
can't wait.
Hi Larry, have a fantastic!
You have such a unique way of reporting and it is so much fun hearing your banter as we tour the ship! Cannot wait to sail on Ascent in a few weeks!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Have an amazing time on the Ascent. Please let us know afterwards what you thought!!
You 2 a great double act, very very good reporting
@stevenvater8720 Many thanks Steven, much appreciated
Love you guys. Superb videos!
Thank you so much Neil, really appreciate that!
Enjoy your sense of humor and the tour-nicely done!
Many thanks indeed!
Great video! Thank you. 🥂
Thank you so much Judy
This is a hoot! Love it!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for a superb video.
You're very welcome, thank you David.
Great content as always 👏 👌 👍
Thank you very much for watching Gavin!
brilliant review and video. Reminds me so much of Celebrity beyond that we cruised last year. We never got sample much of the late night life, as we undulged a very lot in the beautiful cocktails, from very early in the day, every day. Made up for it most days by getting up early and doing 10 laps of the running track. And then indulging in eggs bendicts daily. Great memories.
Love a cruise eggs benedict!
This is great! I love it! 😻
Thank you Owl 😊
This was a wonderful video you are both very enjoyable to watch 😊
Thank you so much Tracey 😊
Thanks for the video! look forward to our Mediterranean cruises in late July
Have a great time!
Nicely done. Your videos are professional & entertaining. You & your wife are a lovely couple.
Very kind of you, manks thanks!
Thanks so much, Bill. My wife and I love to watch all your videos. They are very entertaining. Your comments always put a smile on my face while watching. We love how you and your wife review the food.
We were surprised to see the almost midnight buffet. Most cruise lines did away with it a while back.
We will be on the older ship, Silhouette, in April. I am sure we will enjoy that as well.
Many thanks Norbert! Have a great time on Silhouette!
lovely review, thanks!
Thank you Christopher, glad you enjoyed it
Hahaha I've just found your chanel & I absolutely love your style! We were aboard celebrity edge in April and I am chiomping at the bit to book another. I think we will stick with Celebrity as I really enjoyed the ship.
Hi there, great to hear from you! Have an amazing cruise in April. What's the itinerary you're going on?
Very Nice - you have a great channel.
Thanks so much!
As an American, I can't tell when you are being serious versus condescending with the British accent. Lol. And I have family from there
Hopefully serious with this video!
This is an amazing video. I have never cruised and been thinking about it. You have thankfully put me off any sort of MSC from one of your videos. I am loving the Cunard and this. It looks amazing. Could I ask a question regarding smokers onboard and what the rules are as unfortunately I am one. Many thanks.
Hi, thank you for your kind words. Smoking on cruise ships is prohibited indoors, but there are always designated spots on deck, at various places around the ship!
I hope you find your dream cruise!
Thank you, Bill, for a good view of the daily activities on Celebrity Ascent. Based on what you showed about the food choices, though, I think I will be looking elsewhere.🙂
Thanks for watching Karl!
I love everything about you , your channel and your wife. I would love to be on a cruise with you two and Ofcourse my hubby! 😂 soaking up all your food knowledge! We are booked for our first ever Celebraty Cruise on the Apex. Thinking about moving it to later in the year. After August. Would you prefer Apex or this one? Have only cruised Princess twice with the 3rd in 27 days to Alaska.
I’m sorry we are on the Celebrity Edge
Hi Bailey, lovely to hear from you! All of the Edge Class are almost identical, with very fractional differences, so any of them would be fine!
Don't forget to go to the buffet restaurant at lunch, on the last sea day... Celebrity put on a seafood extravaganza!
Edge is just as nice!
You have now whetted our appetite for a Celebrity cruise. Thanks for showing us around. The food looked great. Would it suit us as pescitarians?
Hi there. Yes absolutely. The seafood aboard is great, and there is fish on every menu thought the ship.
Can you share the super cool background picture in your office video?
Really enjoyed your video. I'm doing the Beyond for my bday. In your opinion, is it worth it?
Hi, we really enjoy the Edge Class of ships. Any of those 4, the Ascent, Beyond, Apex or Edge are really on their game. For the price point, they are very hard to beat.
Thank you! Just booked a Mediterranean sailing on this for 2025.
Have a fantastic time! Which ports are you going to?
@@ritzytravelguide Rome, Pisa, portofino, Cannes, Palma de Mallorca, and Barcelona.
You asked if that Carnival cruise line was good. I watched a video. It was overcrowded and filled with lots of trashy-looking people. I'd say it is the cheapest cruise line. Some, I'm sure, are stylish and cultured, but most looked trashy and cheap.
who is the director of guest relations on this ship now
Hello Bill, your thumbs up meter is not working. Just letting you know, cheers.
Thanks Salvatore, it's just being uploaded, and checked. It will be released this Friday!
After watching footage of Steve Irwin right before he was fatally stabbed by a stingray, I would never stand in water next to one.
When are the other videos coming out?
Hi, cabin review in about 3 weeks. We just came back from another cruise, on the Celebrity Infinity. So I'll also be putting out a video on lower cost Celebrity cruise ships versus the newer Edge Class.
Hello Ritzy... Bill! 😂 Great video again but this ship is really not my taste. Saw you last time on the beautiful Cunard and this one appears like an IKEA from the looks. Very uncozy and not elegant at all. But some nice outside areas.
Hi Jorg, great to hear from you. Which Cunard ship did we meet on? Was it last year on the QM2 or the QE?
@@ritzytravelguide Not in person! Sorry! I mean on your vlog.. 😁
Ha ha! I was worried for a minute we met, and I didn't remember you!
@@ritzytravelguide You could never forget me! 😅😅 Have a great weekend! 🙋♂️
@jorgschwantje1239 😁
By the way, I saw a $ sign next to the lobster tail selection on the dinner menu on lobster night. Does that mean you have to pay extra for it?
Hi, it indicates the cost for additional servings. The first lobster tail plate is complimentary, but subsequent ones are at a charge. Years gone by you could literally keep asking them to bring more and more.
@@ritzytravelguide Thanks Bill. Many lines are going that way.
Thanks for your posts l! Is lunch at Eden free for the passengers?
Vast majority of the foods at the Eden Cafe for breakfast and lunch are free , yes.
There are a couple of upscale items which have an additional fee. But most are complimentary.
The Eden Dining Room, in the basement is a Specialty Dinner venue, that is additional cost
Thank you 😊
Do you also know if casino players get free drinks while playing on the machine? When we were on Celebrity Eclipse in September 23, drinks were complimentary if you are playing. We are going on Ascent in about a month.
@nsn9668 Yes, last time I was aboard, Celebrity is one of the few cruiselines that provide free drinks while playing in the casino. You have to be ACTIVELY playing, meaning your key card is in a slot machine or you're at a table game and you order from a waiter.
Thank you, sir! I love your videos!
I love the review. Food looks very good. I still don't care for the ship and perhaps when you go on the Infinity, if that's the one you're sailing on, you'll see my point better about what's lacking in the public mix and mingle areas of the Edge class ships. The entertainment seems to be "high energy." Is there any American songbook type of entertainment? Any romantic feel on the ship? I'm not feeling it. It's a different Celebrity than the one I'm fond of and while I'm fine with moving forward and adapting to changes, there is an essence I find missing on this ship in every single tour and activities video I've watched.
Hi Benjamin, yes it's the Infinity in our next series, in a few weeks . It will be a fascinating comparison! We were on the Summit, to Alaska in 2005, which is a sister ship. So it will be a bit like old times!
Like a busy airport full of noisy people . Not my Idea of Ritzy ..
I am thankful for sailing many great ships over the years. These new mega ships look like pure junk to me.
