This was our Third time in the past 3 years that we have cruised in the Mediterranean. This is our first time with Celebrity.

We found a dysfunction with the line and the ship that we have not experienced elsewhere. Early on when booking, we found that the Celebrity agent quoting one price with a lower price quoted on their web site. Further inquires confirmed the lower price, it seemed at each step we had to confirm the information given to us because it was often incorrect or misleading.

THE SHIP The Summit is an older ship with some signs of wear. However of greater concern was the cleanliness of the ship. The exterior railing was filthy on the Promenade deck; leaning on it would soil your clothes with black soot and sea salt. On this same deck if you left a cup or dish on one of the tables you could come back in 3 days and it would still be there. The aluminum loungers were old and dirty. Again touching the aluminum part of the lounger would soil your clothes with a white residue. Other parts of the ship were cleaned every day, but many areas were not touched for the entire cruise.
