We were on the Celebrity Summit last week and had a wonderful time cruising with good friends and enjoying the ship, the crew, the ship's activities, tours of each port, and being in the warm weather and out of the deep freeze in the Northeast.

We departed from San Juan on January 3 after a morning touring Fort San Cristobal, which is now a national historic site but that dates back to the early 17th century when the Spanish built it to defend San Juan from attack. Our ship left in the evening, and we set out for points south.

Our first stop was in St. Croix, where 4 of our group took a private tour of the island with Bert, a driver and guide who we met at the pier. Bert took us to the Botanical Gardens and the Curzon rum distillery. He described the history of the sugar plantation that had originally occupied the land and taught us about the wide variety of tropical plants and flowers that fill the Gardens. We loved our stop at the Curzon factory, where we had a very good tour and were able to taste pina coladas and various flavored rums after the tour.

Cabin Review

The cabin was the usual size for a balcony cabin and had a small balcony. We had champagne and fruit on the day we arrived and could have had snacks and tea every afternoon. We were especially happy to get complimentary bottles of water every day.
