I sailed last week aboard the Summit to Bermuda, and my family and I had a lovely time. I was with my boyfriend and my parents (who sailed to Bermuda on Chandris and Celebrity for 14 straight years back in the day) I had not been on a Celebrity ship in about 18 years and I think I was really able to appreciate how good they are. I have sailed on Carnival, Princess and NCL over the years, and was especially disappointed with the Gem to Bermuda last year.
Embarkation: My first time leaving from Bayonne. We were concierge class, so there was virtually no line. I'd say we were on board 15 minutes after we got dropped off. Stress free and happy is the best way to describe the experience.
Ship: I don't know what the Summit looked like before, but I liked the ship a lot. She didn't feel "too big", and the lounges and bars all had a nice newness to them. The public areas were constantly being cleaned, especially the bathrooms.
9153 - There was a lot of room for storage in the cabin. Big closet, plenty of hangers. I didn't like the huge overhang on the balcony, it took away from my stargazing. Faces the sunset while in Bermuda and returning to Bayonne, which was very nice.
