What a lovely spacious cabin. I don’t always like sleeping with the air conditioning on as it is very drying, so as you can open the window a little or a lot I can imagine having it open at night and fall asleep to the sound of the ocean.
We were on the Celebrity Ascent two weeks ago for the Christmas Cruise. While we absolutely loved the ship, we absolutely hated our room. We always get a balcony and "though" this would be just as good. There are many reasons why these rooms suck, let me try to explain. (Remember, compared to a balcony.. if you're moving up from an inside cabin, your probably happy to just have a window). First off, there is not enough power in the room whatsoever. A brand new ship and it has USB2 ports, but not USB3? The Euro Plugs were a trip to navigate, and even those outlets are very low powered. They are not like a regular 120V outlet and do not charge your phones quickly as expected. The bathroom plug under the vanity has a breaker/trip switch that will trip as soon as you plug an apple charger into it. The reset switch is so close to the outlet that the plug trips the breaker on the switch, making the outlet useless. We did Quad occupancy, I'd never do that again in this room. They just pull out a smaller bed under the couch and that's where the kids are supposed to sleep. Once the lower bed is out, you have zero access to the veranda. You can only walk from the bathroom to the bed, as the rest of the floor is now blocked . Our last celebrity cruise, the room was smaller but had more room b/c the bunks came out of the ceiling. The fake balcony..... I like to go outside and sit on my balcony WITHOUT opening the entire room up to the outside air. Within 5 seconds of opening the window, you no longer have an air conditioned room and you now have a hot humid room that takes hours to cool back off. You can't just go outside and sit and not disturb and or wake up everyone else in the room. The window and shade open extremely slow. The shade rattles all night long. If it's sunny on your side of the boat, you must shut the shade unless you want your entire room to heat up to 85 degrees. The window can and will be overridden by the ship gods. If it's windy or rainy, the windows are disabled...which happened at least twice on our cruise. The little glass folding divider doors are 100% useless. They do nothing to block light, keep heat/AC in or out, block sound or anything. I've absolutely zero clue why they are even there. We will 100% go back on the same ship, we loved it, but this Vernanda abortion is not for us.
Sorry to hear you didn’t like the cabin, we would certainly not like to do quad occupancy in this one but for two of us, it was fine. We managed with the power but we used a plug with multiple usb points. We tried a porthole veranda on Edge but it didn’t offer the same view as an infinite. Will you look for a regular balcony next time?
Your insights make it easy to see why Celebrity Ascent is such a standout experience. Great content!👏
Thanks! 😃 We think Celebrity does an excellent job of modern luxury. Are you cruising with Celebrity soon?
@@CruiseLifestyle You’re welcome! No specific date yet, but hopefully sometime this year! 😊
Amazing video! 🎥 You gave such a clear and honest look at the Infinite Veranda. I love how you focus on real experiences. Keep it up! 💖
Thank you so much!!
@@CruiseLifestyle You're very welcome! 😊 You truly deserve all the appreciation-your work is always fantastic!

It was a really good size for the two of us. You could have the window open if you wanted but you’d have to keep the blind up.
Lovely cabin, I love the infinite veranda. ❤
It definitely suits us, we used it more than a regular cabin.
Well done!
Thank you!

@ Yes, well only do a balcony again. We’ve been doing balcony’s for many years and it was painful to deal with this “wannabe” balcony room.
