My sister and her husband suggested it. So I booked an extra cabin for my son and his girlfriend. The service people at dinner were excellent They were Leeford and Elvis. Each night we went to dinner, they made us feel special. They were very accommodating. The activities on board were lacking, and you had to pay for some activities. I think when you pay as much to cruise, you should have ...
This is my review of our 10-day cruise on Celebrity Summit (June 17 sailing). The ship left from Cape Liberty in Bayonne, NJ on a Sunday afternoon, following which we had two sea days, three full days in Bermuda (two nights), another sea day, and then three consecutive port days in Bar Harbor ME, Boston MA, and Newport RI. This was the second time my husband and I have sailed Celebrity but first ...
We chose this itinerary for our summer family cruise for four. We knew that Celebrity wouldn’t be the best choice for having lots of extra kids activities onboard, however, everyone including the kids (7 & 11) wanted to go to do this unique itinerary. We had previously sailed on a ten night Horizon (horrible) and an eleven night Silhouette (awesome).
Boarding was super quick and efficient. ...
I have been on over 25 cruises with different cruise companies and the Celebrity Summit was the best cruise experience. I’ll start with embarkation. It was the easiest ever. The cruise went out of Bayonne, New Jersey. We arrived at the port at noon and we were on the ship before 12:30. I have read prior reviews about the ship looking worn and tired. Yes some of the chairs in the buffet were worn , ...
We choose this cruise for the ports but were disappointed by the overall experience. Check in was delayed a bit because while I did the on line check in ahead of time I didn't try to print my paperwork until the day or two before and the site had shut down. Had I known it was going to do that I would have printed it out earlier but how would I know to do that. We went to our room and found that ...
I have traveled on RCCL to the Diamond level and wanted to try Celebrity. As I travel by myself they charge 2 x the cabin rate while RCCL charges 1.5.I love both cruise lines and sailed on Summit to go to Bermuda for 3 days. also went to Bar Harbor, Boston and Newport.
Wanted to see the mansions there.I would not take the Cliff Walk unless you need excercise. I was only able to see the Breakers ...
We prefer Celebrity for its catering to adults. The Itinerary was appealing and the ports did not disappoint. The Summit is similar to the Millenium and we enjoyed the size and decor of the Millenium. As anticipated, the Summit is very similar. It is an older ship but immaculate and well maintained.
The buffet is well laid out with separate pockets of guests. We were in Aqua class but ...
My DH and I chose this cruise to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. We have been cruising almost annually since we went on our honeymoon in 1983 (RCL). Last year we went on Summit for a 9 day cruise, so this year we decided to splurge and took a 10-day cruise in June. We had an awesome Sky Suite last year (Cabin 6131) and were able to book its twin cabin (6132) for this year's cruise. The ...
MDR food selection terrible, especially for Jewish travelers, who should not eat seafood or pork products. And we don't notify ahead for a special menu, since when you mention "Jewish" or "Kosher" at the table, there are often folks who shun you, and not a few of them, especially the Israel-haters. Larger portions and wider variety on Carnival, Cunard and RCL past cruises. Excellent waiter ...
Mostly verything was A1....excellent. No big complaints at all except noisy cabin (see below) and
inadequate slow tendering at New Port..not enough boats used. People were enraged as they were missing pre booked private excursions. Excuses were made about speed restrictions in the harbour as if this was something new ! More imagination required for excuses.by request.
The food experience ...
