As a cruise specialist with the privilege of a locked-in veranda stateroom rate, I’ve had the opportunity to explore the incredible features and spaces that set Celebrity’s Ascent and Edge series ships apart from the rest. These vessels are a testament to innovation, design, and a commitment to providing passengers with unforgettable experiences. Let’s embark on a journey to explore the amazing places found on these ships, including the Magic Carpet, the Flash Flair Fusion Performance at the Grand Plaza Martini Bar, the Rooftop Garden, Eden, and more.
The Magic Carpet: A Mobile Marvel
The Magic Carpet is, without a doubt, the crown jewel of the Ascent and Edge series ships. This unique cantilevered platform is more than just a deck; it’s a dynamic space that elevates your cruise experience. It travels up and down the side of the ship, offering ever-changing perspectives on the sea and your surroundings.
During the day, the Magic Carpet might be transformed into a tranquil embarkation point, welcoming passengers with a glass of bubbly as they begin their voyage. As the sun sets, it morphs into a chic venue for al fresco dining with breathtaking ocean views. And when night falls, it becomes a lively hotspot for cocktails and entertainment. The Magic Carpet redefines the concept of outdoor space on a cruise ship, making every moment spent there magical.
Flash Flair Fusion Performance: Mixology Meets Entertainment
One of the standout experiences aboard Celebrity’s ships is the Flash Flair Fusion Performance at the Grand Plaza Martini Bar. This isn’t your typical bar scene; it’s a captivating blend of mixology and entertainment. Talented mixologists take center stage, crafting cocktails with flair and style, turning the bar into a stage for their artistic talents.
As you watch the mixologists expertly shake, stir, and pour, you’re treated to a dazzling show that combines cocktail-making skills with impressive tricks. Smoke, fire, and unexpected twists elevate each drink into a work of art. The Grand Plaza Martini Bar becomes a theater where every drink is a performance, leaving you in awe of the creativity and craftsmanship on display.
Rooftop Garden: A Green Oasis at Sea
The Rooftop Garden is a serene oasis perched atop these extraordinary ships. This beautifully landscaped area is a harmonious blend of nature and design, offering passengers a peaceful retreat with stunning views of the ocean. Here, you can unwind on comfortable loungers, sip cocktails, or engage in activities like lawn games and live music performances.
What makes the Rooftop Garden special is its versatility. By day, it’s a tranquil spot to relax and connect with the outdoors, and by night, it transforms into an enchanting setting for stargazing and open-air movies. It’s the perfect place to escape the bustle of the ship and reconnect with the beauty of the natural world while at sea.
Eden: An Immersive Garden of Delights
Eden is a destination unto itself, a multi-level, glass-encased space where nature and design merge seamlessly. It’s a place where dining, entertainment, and sensory exploration come together in an immersive experience like no other.
During the day, Eden offers culinary workshops and tastings, allowing you to explore flavors from around the world. In the evening, it transforms into an avant-garde performance space, where artists, musicians, and acrobats create a captivating spectacle that unfolds around you.
One of the unique features of Eden is the Library of Plants, a stunning collection of living plants that provide a tranquil backdrop to your experience. Whether you’re savoring a gourmet meal, sipping on a craft cocktail, or simply basking in the artistic atmosphere, Eden is a world of wonder waiting to be explored.
