We cannot say enough about the fantastic crew on t We cannot say enough about the fantastic crew on the @celebritycruises Ascent this week. They delivered exemplary, personalized service that made us feel like we were coming home. it has been an absolute joy to see so many of these crew advance in their careers on the ship. Many times this week we were greeted (by name) by crew who remembered us from past cruises. It’s a small detail, but something that always makes on our time on a Celebrity Cruise memorable. #2024ElevateConference #cruiseone #dreamvacations #celebritycruises

🚢 Sunday we (Steve and Ann Teget) boarded the g 🚢 Sunday we (Steve and Ann Teget) boarded the gorgeous Celebrity Ascent, the flagship of @celebritycruises. We’re setting sail for the Dream Vacations National Conference (as well as the Bahamas, Grand Turk, and Grand Cayman)! Earlier this year (as pictured above), we had the chance to spend a week cruising on the Ascent and she is a beauty. The newest ship in Celebrity’s fleet, she’s an Edge-Class ship that can accommodate 3,260 guests (along with 1,400 crew to pamper them). The ship has 32 restaurants, bars, and lounges serving incredible food and beverages. We’ll be staying in an AquaClass cabin, and hope to take advantage of the luxury spa services and Sea Thermal Suite. We’re also looking forward to dining in Blu—a restaurant exclusive to AquaClass that features clean cuisine. Click through some of our photos from last year to see some of our favorite spaces on the ship. What would you like to see more of as we explore the Ascent this week? Let us know in the comments below. #CelebrityCruises #CelebrityAscent #2024ElevateConference #dreamvacations #caribbeancruise #bimini #grandturk #grandcayman #cruiselife

During the Covid pandemic when we were only travel During the Covid pandemic when we were only traveling from the bedroom to the kitchen, we struggled to find content to share on social media. One day, out of sheer lack of ideas, I panned our back yard and shared our view on Instagram. I included a simple message: good morning. Since then we’ve continued to post videos of our view. The landscape changes seasonally, but the message remains the same. Every day we wake up is a blessing and we have the power to make it good.
