This was our third Celebrity cruise. This is the first time we spent the night in a distant port the night prior to boarding our ship. Our accommodations at the Comfort Inn in San Juan were definitely sub-standard. We used a local taxi to transfer to the port. That worked out well. The fare is zoned so we knew up front how much to pay and it was reasonable. From the time we arrived at the port till we boarded the ship things were handled very expediently. We were on board and headed to the lunch buffet in less than 30 minutes including everything. Our luggage was brought to our stateroom in about 2 hours.

The Summit met our expectations from past Celebrity cruises. This was our first time in Concierge level. The ship was clean and well maintained. The Summit is somewhat smaller than our 2 previous so we did notice more motion, particularly the first 2 nights when we experienced rain. The dining room is very motion-prone as it is in the back of the ship. Our stateroom, as it was mid-ship was never a problem.

Our cabin steward and waiter's in the dining room were very attentive and friendly. The staff in the other areas of the ship such as the pool deck the fitness center and spa, was also friendly and helpful. Any requests we had were met with no problem. Read more
