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 ...
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 ...
Celebrity Summit 6-2-22
Our adventure on the Celebrity Summit sailing of June 2, 2022 actually begins back in 2019 when we booked the “Charleston / Bermuda” cruise for 2020. That was canceled and it was rebooked for 2021, which was also canceled and then rebooked for 2022. Then Bermuda put it's covid protocols into place which in turn caused Celebrity to change the itinerary to visit Bermuda ...
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 ...
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 ...
Chose Celebrity because I had always heard how wonderful they were and we were looking for a quick getaway. The moment we entered our cabin we noticed a horrible odor coming from the bathroom. We assumed it would subside, but it did not. It literally made us sick to our stomachs. We thought about changing to another stateroom, but I smelled the same odor in one of the public restrooms as well and ...
The Positives;
I must say that the Summit is a nicely designed ship & well appointed both in the public areas and the Staterooms (starting to get a little rusty around the edges). The half dozen bar/lounge areas are sumptuous, inviting spaces both day & night! The other thing that was a noticeable plus, was the stellar service of all the restaurant staff & Stateroom attendants.
The ...
I have cruised with six other cruise lines in years past and have found Celebrity to be the best choice. There was a specialness, attention, variety, great food and interesting venues on their ships. Perhaps some of my disappointment with this Bahama cruise stems from the Covid19 issue, but that still does not excuse the present short comings, I experienced. The inconsistencies began with the ...
We chose this cruise for Southern Caribbean itinerary and we were going with neighbors. We did a B2B so we stayed on it an extra week. We were anxious to go on this ship after the refit and the reviews for good. Our expectations must have been too high because it did not compare at all to the Reflection we were on 2 years ago. There was no library and no place to play cards and games. The food ...
