My husband and I booked the cruise on the Celebrity Summit to celebrate our anniversary (11 years married; 21 years together). We told the booking representative at Celebrity Cruises about our anniversary when we reserved, and the note appeared on our confirmation documentation. The Celebrity Summit did NOTHING to help us celebrate our special occasion during the cruise, nor even acknowledge our ...
Had Cruise credits to burn based on previous cruise bad experiences and cancellations...
Embarcation at Bayonne was tedious.. Previous embarcations had special considerations for Captains Club Membership... Not this time.... Only Suites were given special attention. We were taken out of the cue because I was riding a mobility scooter and given extra attention because of that.. Covid ...
We booked this cruise the first of March mostly because of the itinerary to Newport, RI, Bermuda, and Charleston, SC. After being spoiled with a half full Millennium cruise to Alaska in September, the 1800
on the Summit it felt a little crowded. The cruise before us had a problem with covid numbers (35), but
ours was not too bad (17). According to Rich, the cruise director, seven of those ...
This was our 4th cruise with Celebrity, first on the Summit. Overall, the cruise met our expectations. The boat was refurbished in 2019 and for an older ship it does look good.
The staff was very efficient and friendly. Our cabin steward Faza was excellent.
The Ocenaview Cafe was revamped since Covid and they need to rethink it a little. Things are too far apart.
On the plus side, ...
I chose the cruise because I'd never sailed to Charleston, SC and Newport, RI before, and when I booked it, there was still enough doubt about COVID that I wanted a cruise that stayed primarily within US ports. I also always wanted to sail on Celebrity, and wanted a relaxed, old-fashioned cruise.
On the downside, there was a lot of confusion before the cruise, primarily because Bermuda imposed ...
First the bad: to go to Bermuda we needed a travel authorization. Bermuda had the wrong date for our cruise and I had to call into Celebrity and get it corrected. Next, Bermuda was supposed to be our third port but apparently no one at Celebrity read that if Bermuda isn't your first port, you need to be re-tested for COVID. So I personally had to inform them and they changed the order of the ports ...
For our first cruise post-Covid, my wife Marie and I chose to try out Celebrity on a reasonably simple itinerary to Bermuda and Charleston, SC. It was also our first attempt at a cruise after Marie had back surgery, which unfortunately has left her with some significant mobility issues; she now needs to use a 3-wheel scooter to get around on ship or on shore -- being able to walk only a few ...
This was our sixth cruise with Celebrity but the first time on a Millennium class of ship. All our previous five cruises have been on the Solstice class.
For embarkation the drive into Bayonne, NJ is not exactly the most inviting of cruise terminal arrivals. We also had issues coming from our Manhattan hotel and not realising the majority of NYC yellow cabs would not cross the Hudson to go to ...
Just back from a 14 day cruise. I have sailed with Celebrity before so I knew what to expect. Stateroom attendant great. Blu restaurant service outstanding. Tuscany restaurant very good n- food and service. Skip Sushi on 5. Eat at Qsine at least once for experience. Buffet very good all-around. Entertainment mostly home runs; a couple of grand slams. Great cruise director. Most accessible ...
We flew from Heathrow into New York a day early and booked a limo online with Dial 7 to take us from our hotel to Port Liberty at Bayonne – the transfer was good, can’t say the same for Port Liberty where there were serious traffic delays to actually get to the terminal, even at 11.30 in the morning. Celebrity have a separate ‘meet and greet’ for suite guests and, after a very short wait, we were ...
