Will try to write this review on what I was interested in when researching the reviews for the Summit! First off I have to agree with one review I read, I believe it is how one interacts on both sides as far as service goes, so sometimes when I read some of the reviews, I think it may be a little skewed. I tried not to hold too much in any negative as 2,000 passengers are going through and really you average 5 reviews a cruise. I was more researching for tips because unless something major happens we feel privileged just to have the luxury of going on a cruise to be pampered with food, drinks, sun and fun.

It was just my husband (age 42) and myself (age 38). We have been on 3 Royal Caribbean's, 1 Norwegian and I have been on Carnival, so first time for Celebrity. Overall, Celebrity is definitely a different feel than the other lines. It is positioned more subdued, and nice "extra touches" throughout (i.e. unlimited towels-nice). If you are familiar with Westin Hotels, it has the same focus on personal wellness and relaxation.

Embarkation - Yes Port Bayonne is not that pretty but it is functional. We pulled up right at 1pm, parked in long term parking and were on the boat at 2pm. We have used the parking three times and have not had any problems as I read with potential paint or debris from the port. Cost is $19.00, offers a shuttle (we walked not very far at all from the terminal) but if you are still leery I heard there are some local hotels offering deals for a stay, park and shuttle to the Port.
