We took this same cruise earlier in May in 2017, this time we took it a little later in the season hoping to avoid rain. That trick did not work out, but everything else did.
We splurged and chose one of the two penthouse suites. Not only was the suite A+ fabulous, but the service was really outstanding. We had a superb butler, Rikki, who really went out of his way to take care of us.
We ...
We booked the Summit about six weeks prior to sailing when this cruise came up on the “Exciting deals” e-mail. I sent a note out to friends we have cruised with or met on cruises and to our delight one couple joined us. Port Liberty cruise port is about a two hour drive from our home so we had no need for flights, although our friends flew up from Florida for the cruise.
We left our home ...
We just returned from our cruise. This will likely be an overview of everything you wanted to know. Invest the time to read it; I think you'll find it was worth it. For the sake of brevity, i'll break it into categories so you can easily follow along. As a preface, we booked in the Concierge Class, Room 8058; more about those two things later.
FOOD
Overall, the food on the ship was good, ...
This was our first Cekebrity cruise . Having done 35 cruises we heard how good Celbrity was. Service and food were great. But getting in to the resturant was a nightmare. we tried to make reservations each night to be told we could not.But yet waiting for a table every night people walked in saying they had reservations. How did they get them? Also during a show in the lounges, we were sitting ...
I love the Summit and the convenience for leaving from Bayonne, NJ.
Disembarkation was great, actually got on board 10:30 A.M., ready to enjoy the whole day, even though it was raining.
I always cruise Aqua class, and just loved the service and attentiveness of the staff in Blu. The food is excellent, and the staff is so accommodating.
The Celebrity orchestra was extremely talented ...
Where to start? Celebrity is only in the name. This cruise line is tired, and although you pay a pretty penny, they will be cutting corners wherever you expect your experience to have the least amount of resistance, then toss you by the wayside if you aren't "dressed properly". Well I have news for you Celebrity- take a look at my photos and review. What a horrible experience for having to travel ...
This was our first time on the Summit and I was a little apprehensive due to the age of the ship; however, I was totally wrong. The ship is in great shape. The crew is absolutely the best we have ever sailed with and the food was extremely good.
Good management is the key, in my opinion, to a successful operation and the management on the ship is outstanding. We would see the captain and ...
Have been on this cruise three years in a row. Liked the idea of not having to fly and overall reputation of Celebrity. This time it seemed like everything was a day late, and a dollar short. Disembarkation was a mess with only 3 Customs Officers. Booked table for 2 a year ago and this was on our cruise documents. Tried to seat us with strangers. Out of 3 years cruising with them, they messed ...
After plenty of cruises with RCI and Carnaval, we decided to choose another line. I was looking for better food. Let's get right with it.
FOOD - Overall food was good, not great. On par with Carnaval. The big difference was Celebrity had a much larger selection. But the food wasn't great. The dining room was OK, the buffet was a bit better overall. However, no food after 1 am. No 24-hour ...
We love Bermuda and have been there many times on other cruise ships. I like to try different cruise lines and compare the ship, service and, of course, food. Celebrity has been on my list for a few years. A couple of friends called and said lets do Bermuda out of Bayonne, okay, lets try Celebrity. We are Crown and Anchor members on RCCL so they gave us our equivalent status in their Captains ...
