Celebrity Summit Cruise Reviews for Romantic to Europe - Western Mediterranean

My wife and I cruised on Chandris Line out of San Juan in the late "80's and loved the experience even though it was very inexpensive and last minute. Food was the best surprise. All else was very good but not enough to get us hooked on cruising. Our next cruise (3-day)was on an older Carnival ship out of FL to Nassau with our 14 year old daughter and her friend in 1996. Quality was lower and ...

We are a 50-60sh couple who have sailed several times, this was the first time on Celebrity. And it won't be the last time! We can't understand most of the mixed reviews this ship gets. we spent 3 nights prior to cruise at the Hilton Molino Stuckey Hotel. It was very nice, but next time we will choose a place closer in to center of city. Embarkation was smooth & easy, used the luggage tags that ...

For those of you who enjoy large modern ships with old world charm, the Celebrity Summit may be the cruise ship for you. We first set eyes on it in Barcelona docked along side the MSC Splendida and while not as large as its Italian rival, it by no means lacks presence with its distinctive blue and white colouring and its trademark X. On boarding the ship we were greeted with champagne and bucks ...

Just back from a fabulous cruise around the Med on the lovely Celebrity Summit. We had a lovely journey, was met at Venice and taken straight to the ship with no waiting for other flights therefore we were onboard by midday which I was impressed with. We had a look around and was pleasantly surprised to find our cabin ready before 13.00. It was our first time in a balcony cabin and I have to sat ...

Celebrity Summit Sept 18/09 Embarkation/ Disembarkation This process was amazingly smooth. The airlines could learn a great deal about efficiently and quickly dealing with this process. We were on the ship eating lunch at the wonderful buffet in the Waterfall cafe about 20 minutes after arriving in the port. Luggage was delivered promptly and accurately. Cabin/Ship Our cabin was kept in a ...

Since we spent 3 weeks traveling around Europe on our own and then 2 weeks on the Celebrity Summit, perhaps our ideas will be helpful to someone who is trying to decide what kind of a vacation suits them best. First, to summarize: We flew into Prague, then traveled to Berlin, Munich, Melk Vienna and Hallstadt in Austria, Muerren and Zermatt in Switzerland, and Lake Como the Cinque Terre and ...

Introduction Having read a huge number of reviews about the Summit before leaving we thought it only right and proper to submit one of our own We are a couple in our mid-40's and were travelling with our daughter. After we had been married for 15 years we decided to start saving for the 'holiday of a lifetime' to co-incide with our silver wedding and her 18th birthday. Our original plan was to ...

This third cruise we had done, proved to be the most superb holiday experiences of our lives!! We visited Barcelona, Villefranche, Livorno, Naples, Santorini, Piraeus, Dubrovnik and finally Venice. Having only used Ocean Village ( 1 and 2), when we booked, we wanted a different experience to the "freestyle" and we sure hit the jackpot. From boarding at Barca, which was so easy and ...
