Great question. Read on for everything you need to know about the infinite veranda room on Celebrity Ascent including a photo tour of stateroom 8280. ;)
What is the infinite veranda on Celebrity?
As you can see in the photo below, rather than a heavy sliding glass door standing in the way of you and the ocean air, infinite verandas offer floor to ceiling glass for incredible views and allow you to feel the ocean breeze in your hair at the touch of a button!

Sun Princess Deluxe Balcony Stateroom 11221 Cabin Tour
"We recently had an amazing opportunity to sail around the Mediterranean on the brand new Princess Cruise ship - Sun Princess in her inaugural season. It was an incredible anniversary cruise and we will be sharing highlights from each port, as well as the food, entertainment, and ship itself."
Bathroom - Celebrity Ascent Cabin 8280
The shower was spacious and body wash, shampoo, and conditioner were provided. Not all lines (or hotels for that matter) provide conditioner these days...
And no more gross shower curtains. The full glass capsule shower was luxurious and the door was "slow-close" so it never slammed shut on you, which we've experienced on other ships.
The modern design left the bathroom on Ascent feeling spacious, with storage for your toiletries on the counter as well as multiple shelves on either side of the large mirror.
The touch screen thermostat had additional functions including the lighting of the room. Rather than turning each individual light fixture on or off, you could simply tap a preset including bright, dim, or lights out as well as morning, movie, evening, and sleep!
It is important to note that the air conditioning will not run while the window is open.

Storage - CELEBRITY ASCENT CABIN 8280
The adorable coral display held the stateroom attendants card (shout out to Kevin!) and felt like a little museum piece on display - an elegant touch!
Now lets open the doors to the left of the coral display:
The main closet provided ample wooden hangers with clips, a set of drawers, a safe, and robes!
Not to be missed on the door to the left is a full length mirror. :)
Living Space - CELEBRITY ASCENT CABIN 8280
Inside the white box were some international outlets - 220v, 110v, and 2 USB plugs. It's nice that the international adapter was built in so cruisers from all over would be set even if they forgot theirs! The lid closes to keep cords in order and they can be fed out of the grooves on the front of the box. All in all, this was a nice concept but irl it felt a bit clunky imo and at times we did wish we could move the box out of the way.
Bed Area - CELEBRITY ASCENT CABIN 8280
We opted for the beds to be together and we chose a cabin where the bed was closest to the veranda. The bed was very comfortable and well appointed with pillows both functional and decorative. The TV was right across from the bed and we did enjoy a few movies (for free) on this cruise.
Veranda - Celebrity Ascent Cabin 8280
As you can see there is effectively a floor to ceiling window instead of a balcony you can step out onto. In front of the window you have two chairs and a small table.
As shown below you can leave the entire room open to the beautiful outdoor views, or you can close the shoji-reminiscent dividers for filtered light and privacy. This is a nice feature when one person is resting but the other would like to enjoy the "balcony" area.
Is the Infinite Veranda on Celebrity Ascent the Best Stateroom at Sea?
After sailing in an infinite veranda for 7 nights (Labadee & Cayman Cruise) we can definitely see the pros and cons of this cabin style.
The stateroom definitely feels more spacious! This style also offers more privacy from the cabins beside you than a traditional balcony. Oceanview balcony doors can be heavy and may be difficult for some passengers to open and close, so the ability to enjoy the fresh air at the touch of a button is going to be a game-changer for some.
The ability to enjoy natural light and stunning views and fresh air from anywhere in your cabin (except maybe the bathroom) without physically going outside on your balcony was awesome!
Eating Around The World:
As mentioned earlier, the air conditioning will automatically shut off when you open the window, so depending on what time of year you are sailing and in what region of the world, this may be really impactful. You may rarely open the window because of the amount of hot air or humidity it quickly lets in and that may leave you wishing you had a more traditional balcony that you could step out on and close the door behind you so the room temperature stays to your preference.
Sailing the Caribbean in December we did not find this to be a major issue, but it is something to bear in mind.
So is the Celebrity Ascent Infinite Veranda the best stateroom at sea?
Well.. I have a few more staterooms to try before I can answer that ;) But I will say that I absolutely loved the Infinite Verandah on Celebrity Ascent. It's definitely not for everyone, but for me - I would not hesitate to book this cabin category at any time in the future!
In fact, I hope to sail on Ascent again soon as it's one of my personal favorite ships!

On our previous cruises we have booked interior rooms as well as balcony staterooms and for this 8 night Southern Caribbean Cruise we opted to try an oceanview cabin on this Oasis class ship.
Oceanview cabin 3198 photos - Symphony of the seas
Our Oceanview Cabin was on the third deck.
First impressions of oceanview cruise cabin
Beside the couch is a cupboard with shelves and a small safe. There are also two small drawers at the bottom of this cupboard.
We opted to have the bed pushed together and as you can see there was a small space on either side of the bed that act as a nightstand.
Cruise Travel Blog:
The window in our oceanview room 3198 on Symphony of the Seas was a round window, divided in the center. The window is so large that an adult person can actually sit in there like a little hamster on its wheel. :)
Turning around and going back toward the entrance you can see on the right side of the couch is a closet with hangers. There were a combination of regular wooden hangers as well as wooden hangers with the clips attached for pants or skirts.
To the right of that closet is the bathroom door.
The bathroom on Symphony of the Seas is a really spacious and modern cruise ship bathroom. There is no shower curtain, but instead a full glass shower! A dispenser in the shower supplies body wash/shampoo combo.
This cruise ship bathroom is spacious and bright. There is a large window and three shelves to the right along with a shelf underneath the sink.
It was nice to find in our stateroom a rundown of all the shows scheduled during our cruise consolidated to one sheet on embarkation day.
Royal Caribbean Tip: Use the Royal Caribbean App to reserve your space at each show you are interested in. This was the first time we experienced needing to reserve our showtimes on a cruise.

What do you think of the view?
I was so impressed with our oceanview stateroom. As mentioned at the outset, this was our first time booking an oceanview cabin and I absolutely loved it.

ROYAL CARIBBEAN DEAL RIGHT NOW:
Royal Caribbean Kids Sail Free Promotion
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the age limit for kids sail free sale on royal?
Kids sail free is not working - why?!
If the Kids Sail Free promotion doesn't seem to be working, it could be that the child's age at the time of sailing is above 12. Also, you may be trying to book a sailing that is excluded. The kids sail free promotion may have ended (don't worry, it will come back!)
Also important to note, the kids sail free promotion is limited to triple, quad, and family occupancy bookings. This means that in a double occupancy stateroom of 2 people consisting of one parent and one child under 12, the child will not sail free. There need to be 2 paying passengers before a child sails free. Very often the kids sail free promotion is coupled with one like you see here "Second passenger 60% off" so if there is 1 parent and 1 child then the child would be 60% off in that case. |
|
Royal Caribbean Blog:
Kids Sail Free Cabin Occupancy Sample Scenarios:
Double occupancy - 1 adult, 1 child under 12 - child will not sail free.
Triple occupancy - 1 adult, 2 children under 12 - one child will sail free
Triple occupancy - 2 adults, 1 child under 12 - child will sail free
Quad occupancy - 2 adults, 2 children under 12 - 2 children will sail free
