Since this was a charter cruise will make my review only about the ship & ports. This was our 1st time on the Celebrity Summit which has been nicely updated. We were in the Consierge cabin a type of mini suite. The room was very nicely decorated & comfortable with plenty of storage space. Only complaint is they changed the original sofa with a big chair so only room for one person as opposed to ...
Booking:
I booked directly with the cruise line which is something I normally don’t do. I just figured with my recent experience with Royal Caribbean (same ownership) trying for months to get a refund through a travel agent I was better off calling them directly. That was a mistake, as I spent many, many hours on hold as a result. The booking itself was the easy part; a balcony cabin, in the ...
This is a mixed review. First before I got some facts about our sailing some general comments. We are Elite Celebrity cruisers and chose this sailing and ship as it was last minute and our options were limited. Sailing out of Puerto Rico was wonderful for us (or so we thought) as we spent two lovely days wandering Old San Juan and going to the Bacardi facility for a tour.
Boarding the ...
This was our 3 cruise on Celebrity, we sailed out of San Juan and went to 5 different ports, I wish we would have only gone to 4 but the one nice thing is when you are in port, if you choose not to leave the ship you can sit by the pool with out having to jockey for position on the deck chairs! Although people would snag a chair and leave there stuff on it for hours until they returned from port I ...
Beautiful ship. The food and service in all the restaurants was great. We especially enjoyed Le Petit Chef a Quisine. Our stateroom was ample and our cabin service was amazing. He really went out of the way for us! It was a nice group of people on board, very, very few children. On boarding and off boarding on excursions was much smoother than in previous cruises.
The only thing I missed ...
I chose Celebrity because I had taken the Millenium in Alaska 4 years ago and the experiences was over the top. I love cruising, as it's the only vacation where Mom doesn't have to lift a finger! I invited 3 of my gal relatives (and one who had never cruised before.) I guess the build up in my mind raised my expectations too high. I SO wanted my three sisters/cousins to become as enthused about ...
10 Day Cruise to Southern Caribbean in Jan 2020
- Daily buffets and nightly dinner were very good, as were the staff. Try the made to order omelets for breakfast stir-fry at night both are excellent. Ridiculous selection of baked items and desserts!
- The staff is super friendly, hard working, and very helpful. Outstanding service.
- The remodeled rooms and areas of the ship made it ...
We do an annual cruise with a group of friends 8 total this year! We picked this cruise because of the length and going out of San Juan!
We all had interior rooms as the cruise was booked starting last March! The refurbishing is Great, we loved our interior room and because this was so port intensive we really didn’t need the balcony!
This was a good time and the bar tenders and bar ...
Really enjoyed our south caribbean cruise, really wish it was 14 days instead of 11. Felt too short. Ive done this area before on a different celebrity ship, had never been to puerto rico, grenada so it was nice to see a few new ports.
Ship looked grrat with the new renos, rooms were fantastic, our stateroom the bed was super comfortable. We were in consierge class.
I really wish that the ...
We are first time Celebrity cruisers having sailed on NCL and Carnival and had high expectations for the dining on the Summit. The first noticeable thing was the distinct demographic of retired affluent people. If you saw kid running around it was like seeing a unicorn. However, rascals were abundant racing to the buffet or casino. The MDR turned out to be a hot mess. The food quality was better ...
