My wife and I did back to back cruises on the Summit, leaving from San Juan on its repositioning cruise and ending up in New Jersey after its first Bermuda cruise in April, 2010. We have been on the Summit twice before and enjoy the ship very much. While the ship is getting older (aren't we all) it is still very beautiful and the service remains superb. The public areas are very clean and well kept. It is only the staterooms that are in need of some upkeep as it appeared to us that the same draperies and rugs that were in our cabin five years ago remain in use today.

Embarkation in San Juan could not have gone more smoothly. We left our hotel near the airport around 11:00AM and were enjoying a beer at the bar at the back of the boat by 12:30. Our luggage was delivered to our cabin before 3:00. During my working life I worked in San Juan quite often and my wife and I always loved it there. Our feelings remain the same after this visit.

Our cabin was on the eighth deck in concierge class. Summit now breaks their concierge class down into three categories and we were in C2. We could not tell the difference from our last trip when there was only one category and my guess is that the categories are different only in the cabin position on the ship. We traveled with friends who had a C1 sunset veranda cabin on the 7th deck and while their room was identical to ours, their veranda was enormous. Our room was always very well kept and our room steward, Paz, continually asked if there was anything extra we needed. Read more
