Celebrity Summit Review

Additional details
I don't have the time to do lots of details. We chose this cruise based on timing (final spring break for my college senior) and itinerary (wanted to get back to Dominica).
We had a good time in the ports arranging our own tours. Dominica was as special as I remembered, but we enjoyed all the ports. Still, this being about the 4th Carribean cruise, I am a bit burned out on the area.
Our earlier cuises--mid-late 90s to roughly 2003 were all Carnival or RCI. When we took an Alaskan cruise with Celebrity we felt it was a definite step up. But this cruise did not seem much different from the Carnival/RCI level. If I never hear HOT HOT HOT again it won't be too soon, so at least we were spared that kind of experience. But the vibe, the food, the service and about everything else didn't seem special. We did opt for open dining vs. assigned seating for convenience. That shouldn't have been an issue, but our waiters were just so-so. Honestly, the food did not seem a wit better than our last Caribbean cruise which was on Carnival.
Cabin Review
Inside Stateroom 9
We had an inside cabin on the second floor. AHAA you say, no wonder you weren't crazy about it. But we were not in the cabins much except to sleep and dress for meals. The kicker was that we had 3 in there, and the room had to be totally rearranged (and I mean drastically--by the head housekeeper himself) so we had more than a narrow space to get to the bathroom at night without killing ourselves. I think our cabin number was 2107. If I am wrong, it is only on the last digit. Knowing we had 3, maybe they should have found a different room for us.
