A few hiccups before we arrived, but I won't get into those…We arrived at Cape Liberty with DH proud of himself for driving through NYC (well the Bronx) for the first time ever. We are golfers and have packed our golf clubs for airline travel. But can we drop them off with our luggage? No according to the porter, Celebrity "won't allow it". So miffed, we tossed them back into the trunk of the ...
This was a cruise of many firsts -- First time on Celebrity and First time out of Bayonne and First time to Bermuda.
A week prior to sailing we were offered a chance to upgrade to Aqua from our regular veranda cabin. Since we were celebrating our 40th Wedding Aanniversary,we decided this could be another first for us so jumped at the opportunity. We sailed in Cabin 1131.
Since we live ...

A Great Cruise Aboard a Beautiful Ship
Celebrity Summit Cruise to Bermuda, May 24th to May 31st , 2015
We were a party of two, my wife and I, both senior citizens. This was our twenty-fourth cruise since 2001, the second with Celebrity having sailed on the Silhouette in its inaugural season. We also have sailed with Holland America, Princess, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean, all very ...
Just returned from the May 24, 2015 Celebrity Summit Bermuda cruise. First cruise, and could not be more impressed or pleased. Everything was first rate, including the entertainment. Food was great. Stateroom was great. Plenty of things to do and lots of room to find a quiet place for relaxing. Very easy getting in and out of Cape Liberty, Bayonne, and the boarding and the disembarking went ...
I will share exactly what I wrote in my Celebrity survey:
My general sense was that, in my mind, Celebrity has lost its brand position as a top tier cruise experience on this ship. Understanding this was an older ship, it still is outdated in many aspects and many items overlooked. Example: TV screen shows our "progress" to Bermuda. There is New York, an arrow indicating where the ship is in ...
After tons of research here on cruise critic we booked celebrity summit because it included the classic drink package and gratuities and $300 onboard credit. We had a C3 concierge class cabin on deck 8, 8165. We left our 2 kids, 5 and 3 at home so we could celebrate my birthday and our 10th anniversary.
Getting to the ship
We live in Massachusetts, not far from providence, ri so we took a ...
Having sailed Princess, Royal Carib. and Norwegian we wanted to give Celebrity a try and are we glad we did. Celebrity you have some new fans!!!!! Yes the Summit is an older ship and doesn't have all the bru ha ha of the newer ships but she makes up for it in so many other ways. Can't say enough about the staff, friendly, outgoing and accommodating. The food was excellent both the dining room ...
We are frequent cruisers,but this was only our second cruise with Celebrity. We were going to be in Connecticut for a family event so decided to take the drive to Bayonne and try the Summit to Bermuda.
We might have had some second thoughts after reading some of the Summit reviews but turned out to be a great trip!
We arrived at the port around 11 and fortunately had read in cruise ...
I have been to Bermuda many times, but haven't been back in over 40 years. We loved the island when we first vacationed there. Forty years later, this May, my daughter wanted to travel with friends who were taking the Celebrity to Bermuda, so we decided to go . And I am glad we did! It was wonderful to see Bermuda again with my daughter. I had heard about Celebrity but never sailed any of the ...
