Celebrity Ascent is a beautiful ship but the set up for an Infinity Balcony spoilt it .The balcony is more like an extension to the stateroom. rather than a balcony We were 5 couples travelling together and in the past able to communicate with each other from our balconies which we weren’t able to do Being on a cruise round the Caribbean it would have been better to have an open balcony . I can understand it might be useful if sailing in bad weather but it spoilt our experience and several fellow passengers agreed with us. Also the Main Dining room was very very very dark and as there were 10 of us on a table it spoiled our enjoyment of dinner, not really being able to communicate very well with each other especially one of our party who wears hearing aids and lip reads.Excellent service and otherwise lovely surroundings Just a shame marred by these 2 issues.
