Celebrity Summit Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We're first time cruisers and wanted to try something different from our timeshare vacations. We wanted warmth and good food. Based on other reviews of the Summit, the food did not disappoint. We were also found the service to be excellent.
This was a port intensive cruise. We took it because the time frame was right, not for the ports. We started out in San Juan, then St. Thomas, St. Croix, St. Kitts, Antigua and St. Lucia with the last day being at sea. This ship was doing a different set of islands that I would have preferred the week after (Barbados and Saint Martin). We took the pre-cruise program in San Juan. We enjoyed the El Convento hotel. It had great service and was in Old San Juan which we both enjoyed.
We were very fortunate, or it was planned that way, that we were either the only ship in port or there were only two ships in port. That made visiting these islands much easier as the crowds were very reasonable. We found many well priced tours in port rather than doing the tours offered by the ship. Although those who took the catamaran tours really enjoyed them.
Cabin Review
We had an inside cabinet in mid-ship. The location was excellent. We were a few doors behind the customer service desk - easy access to the restaurants, embarkation and disembarkation. We didn't feel a balcony was necessary. Nothing to see on this particular cruise. Very very clean. Never heard any noise what's so ever. There's no window so for some that might not be a good choice. But across the hall those cabins had windows and they were of a good size.
