I chose the Celebrity Summit out of Bayonne because of the itinerary(Rhode Island, Martha's Vineyard, Charleston, and 2 days in Bermuda). I live in New York and I love sailing out of Bayonne. This was my second sailing with a celebrity(the first was on Beyond), I knew this was an older ship so my expectations were limited. I couldn't book my usual balcony so I was a little concerned about being in ...
We chose cruise because son and family had week off, requested us to join him and it was no fly for us, We made our reservations a couple of months before sailing date and were unable to secure early dining so relegated to anytime dining. And they would not take reservations so scheduling dinner each night with a 3 year old was a major annoyance. But we never had to wait more than 15 minutes. ...
Our 9 day cruise was much better then expected. We chose Summit because of the ports and we can drive to the terminal.
Embarkation- We arrived at the terminal around 11:30 for our noon boarding time, scanned boarding pass then walked onto the ship. The process took under 10 minutes.
Dining- We ate in the MDR 7 nights and the experience was very good. The food was well ...
We like to have relaxing days at sea on a ship with a good outdoor promenade - preferably one that accommodates deck chairs - where we can contemplate the sea, watch for flying fish and be mesmerized by the bow making swirling, foamy waves as it plows through the blue water. We don't care about flashy shows in the theater or trivia games or 'white nights' with pulsating beats on the pool deck. We ...
We chose this cruise because it was an easy drive from the NE and we loved the itinerary. We have sailed with Celebrity many times but felt they missed the mark on this one. Embarkation was a breeze. We arrived 15 mins prior to our scheduled time and were able to get right onboard. We had completed the online check-in (which was very easy) and were able to get right into our room. This is where ...
Wanted to be able to drive to port and see Bermuda again so we chose this 7 day from Bayonne to Bermuda. Embarkation and debarkation went extremely smooth. Sent you to muster station as you boarded very quick check in. Dropped off bags and picked up sea passes. Started to explore ship and wanted to get a drink(non alcoholic) and noticed shortages right away. No diet soda or ice tea at the buffet, ...
My husband and I have sailed on Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian Cruise Lines. We felt it was time to experience the Celebrity difference.
We chose this itinerary because we fell in love with Bermuda when we sailed on the Norwegian Gem from Boston pre-pandemic. We flew from Toronto to Newark and stayed three nights in Manhattan prior to this cruise. We did our proctored rapid tests in ...
We had not been to Bermuda in years, so this was appealing to us. After being Diamond + on RC, we have started to lean to Celebrity after sailing The Edge. We are casino members and our casino host was delighted to book us into the Aqua Class. Although we were excited, we quickly became disappointed. Aqua class may be the top of the cake, but certainly not on the Summit. Rooms were small and ...
We had two rooms. Cabin 6143 was very nice and had a spacious inside compared to other rooms. Balcony was huge! It was the size of three average size balcony’s put together. It’s considered concierge class which is much cheaper than aqua class and has a bigger balcony than all aqua class regular verandas. The family veranda has a similar size balcony, but I was a single traveler in my room so a ...
I had a Mediterranean Cruise booked in May that we missed because our flight out of JFK to Rome was delayed over 6 hours. Rather than go through a nightmare like that again we chose a 7 day cruise out of Port Liberty (which was only a couple of hours drive from us) to Bermuda on the Summit
We had only booked 4 days before the cruise so the only available check in time was in the afternoon but ...
