Summit- My wife (Julianne) and I had the pleasure of cruising on Celebrity's Summit April 30 - May 7th in the Western Caribbean. I found the cruse reviews to be very helpful so I vowed to post one after our journey. First, I think it should be mandatory that anyone who leaves a review give their age and a bit about who they are and what is important to them. I am 37 and Julianne is 35. We are very active, water & beach enthusiasts and are NOT "partiers" at all. Julianne had never cruised before and I did once 14 years ago.
Celebrity and its Summit were amazing. The ship is beautiful and the service incredible! We had the time of our lives! What a terrific vacation experience! With that said, I would not give as strong of a recommendation for the hard core, die hard partier types out there. Don't look for any "Girls gone wild aboard the Summit" videos anytime soon! The Summit was anything but that type atmosphere. It was a first class, refined experience maybe so much so that the very few party animals that were aboard appeared to find some aspects of Celebrity somewhat frustrating.
Dining We had late seating and dined in the main dining room (The Cosmopolitan) every night, except the one night we spent at the specialty restaurant - the Normandie. At dinner we received excellent service and were served fantastic food at the Cosmopolitan, so good that we did NOT dine in the less formal waterfall cafe even once for dinner! Our waiter Ibraham was superb and treated us like royalty and our assistant waiter Lawrence was excellent. For breakfast we had room service deliver us croissants and coffee at 6:30 or 7 AM every day. The croissants are the best we have ever tasted and it was a great way to start our day. For our breakfast meal we mostly dined at The Waterfall Cafe buffet.
