An escape to the warm tropical seas of the southern Caribbean and New Year's Eve at sea; that was our Christmas present to each other this year and we were very excited about it. We had only one other cruise and that was about six months earlier on Holland in the Med, so were still pretty new to the whole cruising thing, but if Celebrity was anything like Holland, we knew we were going to have fun. Well, we did have fun, but if our experience was at all representative of Celebrity, we won't be going back.

Now let me begin by telling you that the ship, Summit, was on her last voyage before heading into dry-dock for a renovation. That having been said, I will refrain from comments that pertain to the ship specifically, though in all honesty, it was clean and well kept. We had no issue with that at all. In addition, the service was, for the most part, fantastic. Our major concerns centered on two areas; food and operations.

The food was, well, acceptable. Now for anyone who has never been on a cruise before, you may be thinking "Acceptable sounds...acceptable." But that's not true. Cruise ships all about the food. But even that statement is somewhat subjective, so let me give you a few specifics.

Cabin Review

Ocean View 4

Cabin 04

Following our first cruise, we were prepared to take an interior cabin, given the minimal time spent there. However, when we booked, we given a good deal on an exterior with a view, so we took it. The view was fine, it was unobstructed and the cabin was clean. We actually visited a cabin on the 8th deck and the only significant difference was a veranda, and like I said, we spend little time in the cabin, so why pay for it? The only real problem we had as far as the room was concerned was noise. The walls were paper thin and so too was the door. Incredibly, there were people (and small children) running and screaming down the hallway at 2 and 3 in the MORNING! I have no idea if more expensive cabins have better sound characteristics, of if higher prices simply keep out the riff-raff.
