We have cruised for many years (30+ cruises). We've sailed on Royal Caribbean for many years and thought we'd give their sister line a try. We we also happy that they would honor our Diamond status on this ship.Their was also much talk about this ship being 'refurbished'.
As mentioned in other reviews, the dining room food was a miss more than a hit. It appeared that the meals had been ...
This was my third time on the Summit in 2 years. I like the Summit's small size.
Cabin: When I cruise, I only require a window. This time we booked "Guarantee Balcony" about 3 weeks prior to sailing. there were 4 of us requesting 2 cabins. With "guarantee" you know that you will get a balcony, but can be upgraded. One cabin, #7137 was perfectly located between forward and aft and top and ...
We are Celebrity fans and booked two back to back cruises. The itineraries were ideal for this purpose and visited some very nice places.
The cruise was good, overall. The food was better this week than the previous week,although there were some dishes that were not very good. We ate mostly in the main dining restaurant, with lunches in the Oceanview Cafe.
Our main complaint was our ...
We chose this cruise because we loved the itinerary and like Celebrity the best. The Summit had a recent makeover and everything was clean and fresh. We went to five different ports and six if you count Puerto Rico. We sailed to Barbados, Antigua, St Thomas, St Maarten and St Lucia. Our room steward was perfect as was the wait-staff in the main dining room, where we ate every night except one. We ...
This is our 4th cruise, second on celebrity. I could not have been happier with the Alaskan Cruise on the Solstice (Aqua class). I figured Celebrity would be my cruise line of choice. I did not book Aqua this time and boy do I regret it.
The ship was obviously older as we approached, but once on board the common areas were nicely appointed.
Embarkation was a breeze, veranda stateroom 8***. I ...
We were originally booked on a cruise to Alaska, but the weather in New York had been so cold we decided a warmer weather itinerary would be better. We had taken the other leg of this cruise in 2015 so chose to do this one. Also by changing our cruise, we were able to upgrade to a Celebrity suite.
We arrived in San Juan the day before sail date and stayed at the Condado Plaza Hilton which I ...
We chose this cruise because it had some islands that we had never visited and the our agent was offering a special package. This was my first Celebrity cruise on a Millienium Class ship. We sailed Aqua Class - 1) I love BLU and 2) I thought using the Persian Spa would be an added bonus for the trip.
Sailing out of San Juan was nice. Very easy embarkation and our room was ready by 1 when ...
Size of Summit is great, but it is deteriorating. Captain Kate is great, visible and genuinely friendly. Some staff were not so happy. Classic beverage package rules were confusing - got 5 different answers on first day. In a few cases, those selling Premium beverage package and specialty restaurants were overly pushy. Excursions were pricey but very good. On Martinique, we were upset that the ...
My friend and I chose Celebrity because my travel agent said it was the only large-ship cruise line she would recommend. It was my eighth cruise, my 4th on a large ship, but the only one for which I can give a decent rating. I had switched to Windstar for last 3 cruises and before that, took a barge cruise with only 7 other guests through French wine country. I had sworn off large ships until I ...
We have cruised 5 times now and are trying to narrow down what cruise line and style we like best. Celebrity Summit definitely is NOT one we would choose again. We chose this based on recommendations from our travel agent that we would enjoy the smaller ship size and atmosphere as it is a "step up from Royal Caribbean." Though we did enjoy the smaller size (the ship was easy to remember and ...
