The following are some of our experiences and observations from the January 30 sailing on the Celebrity Summit out of San Juan, Puerto Rico; the itinerary included stops at the ports of Tortola, Dominica, Martinique, St. Kitts and St. Thomas. For my wife and I, this was our 22nd cruise, 4th on Celebrity and 3rd on the Summit.
A few days before the departure, we were offered an upgrade from our booked “Sky Suite” to a “CS” category stateroom. We stayed in the CS Suite before and really enjoyed the experience, so we accepted the offer.
The night before the sailing, we stayed at the Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino; this was not the best choice for us since there isn’t much to do within walking distance of the property. However the staff was great, the hotel is very clean, the restaurant was pretty good and the property is a short taxi ride from the airport or to the cruise port. We played a little in the casino and won some on the slots; best of all, the casino is smoke free
The cabin was meticulously clean, very spacious and very nicely appointed. Not enough electrical outlets but otherwise perfect. It was also very quiet with very little ambient noise.
