We are avid and happy cruisers. This was our 8th cruise and having never sailed Celebrity, we were lead to believe that Celebrity would provide us with an experience that would be a cut-above other premium cruises. In reality, it was a huge disappointment. In general, the Summit is a rather generic cruise ship with average cabins and facilities that struggle to cope with its number of passengers. Systems seem lacking in the food services area where it was always a confusing scramble to find a table. Food quality was more "miss" than "hit" with the theme being "dry" and "salty". Likewise, the sterile-looking buffet area continued to serve the same food over and over again, frequently closing stations and announcing that drink stations were being repaired. Overall, there seemed to be a lack of energy and excitement on this ship; there was no soul. The basics are there but the wow factor is missing. Here are some more details:

WHAT WE LIKED

The Aqua-spa pool area for adults (although kids are not regulated)

Cabin Review

Ocean View 7

A generic cabin encased in mock-wood melamine. The washroom was dated and in need of cleaning. Cupboards were annoying with doors that blocked access to other areas and were awkward when packing and unpacking. The balcony was dirty (sandy) with dried flakes of white paint and splashes of white paint on the indoor-outdoor carpeting. Carpeting and tv are newer.
