Fort Lauderdale is cruise country at its best, warm Atlantic air, palm lined waterways, easy beaches, and a sunny Florida vibe that starts the moment you arrive.
Your cruise departs from Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida on the Celebrity Ascent, carrying thousands of passengers. Fly in the day before to protect against flight disruptions - the ship won't wait. If you're given an assigned boarding time, showing up earlier sometimes works but isn't guaranteed. Complete your online check-in before arrival. The cruise terminals are about ten minutes from Fort Lauderdale airport and close to hotels and beaches.

Cartagena feels like color and rhythm in the air, colonial streets glowing in the sun, Caribbean breezes drifting by, and history alive at every corner.
You'll have 8 hours hours to explore Cartagena, Colombia, from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Beyond history, Cartagena offers Caribbean flavors, warm hospitality, and ocean views that balance the urban energy.

The Panama Canal offers a one of a kind cruising experience, where engineering marvels meet tropical vistas, wildlife, and rich Panamanian culture.
The Celebrity Ascent will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Panama Canal, Panama. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. The Miraflores Locks Visitor Center offers observation decks and exhibits detailing the canal's operation.

Colon feels like humid air and cargo ships sliding past, Caribbean color at the edges, canal history everywhere, and Panama connecting oceans and worlds.
Arriving in Colon, Panama at 5:00 PM with only 4 hours hours before your 9:00 PM departure is a tight window. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the safest play here - you'll get priority disembarkation, and the ship will wait for its own excursions to return. Focus on one or two experiences close to the port. Seeing the canal in action is the highlight for many visitors.

Oranjestad welcomes cruise travelers with colorful Dutch Caribbean charm, palm lined streets, turquoise waters, and a relaxed, sun kissed island vibe.
With 14 hours hours in Port of Oranjestad, Aruba, Caribbean - from 9:00 AM to 11:00 PM - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe. Go beyond the typical tourist stops: neighborhoods, local dining, and cultural sites that most cruise visitors never reach. Leave time for unstructured wandering. The port area is compact and visitor friendly, with clear signage and facilities that streamline arrivals, departures, and sightseeing options, making independent exploration or guided tours convenient for all.

Willemstad, Curacao charms with its colorful Dutch colonial architecture, lively harbor, and Caribbean vibes, offering cruise visitors a perfect blend of culture and relaxation.
The Celebrity Ascent will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Willemstad, Curacao. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. Visit the Floating Market where colorful boats from Venezuela sell fresh produce and fish directly from the harbor.

Kralendijk is pure Caribbean ease, pastel streets, clear turquoise water, and a laid back island vibe that invites you to slow down and breathe.
Your ship arrives in Kralendijk, Bonaire, Dutch Antilles at 8:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Bonaire is one of the best places in the Caribbean for easy snorkeling.

Fort Lauderdale is cruise country at its best, warm Atlantic air, palm lined waterways, easy beaches, and a sunny Florida vibe that starts the moment you arrive.
Your cruise ends in Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida, where the Celebrity Ascent is scheduled to dock at 7:00 AM. With over 2,000 passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a one to two hour window - once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist lets you walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Las Olas Boulevard is the heart of the city for shopping, dining, and people watching.
