Our family chose the Celebrity Summit for a Spring Break cruise based on price and ports-of-call. Our daughters are now in high school and this is our eighth cruise as a family.
We arrived in San Juan on Thursday night and stayed at the Caribe Hilton, booked room on Hotwire for $119/night. The hotel was a wonderful place to start our vacation. The grounds are beautiful and relaxing. We spent Friday doing some last minute shopping at the Las Americas mall, picked up a couple bottles of wine to take aboard at the convenience store across the street from the hotel and had a nice dinner in Old San Juan at the Cafe Puerto Rico.
On Saturday we checked out of the hotel at 12 noon and took a taxi to the pier, by 12:30 we were eating lunch in the Waterfall Cafe. Embarkation was painless, no lines, no hassles, no worries! After lunch we stopped by our cabin and put our carry on luggage away, by 1:30 our luggage arrived. At 5:30 they had the muster drill.
Cabin 9024, forward veranda on the starboard side. A little cozy for four people, balcony has large overhang from spa above. Quiet from above, but some noise from crew work space across the hall, not enough to keep you awake; however. Closet and drawer space a little small for four people, probably plenty for less Only two electrical plugs, a power strip might be useful.
