The reason for choosing this cruise was the itinerary because I never traveled to Bimini Bahamas. I’m a Floridian living in New York for very personal reasons and I needed a getaway. I’ve cruised Carnival, Norwegian and even the Margueriteaville at Sea. So I certainly wanted to upgrade. I booked a Royal Suite with the Butler and the whole nine yards. I’ve sailed this way before on Norwegian twice ...
While this is not my first Celebrity Cruise, or even first time on the Summit. This has by far been the worst experience. Have been charged multiple times for the same items that I have had to spend time disputing. Our room has 6 outlets and 3 dont work in any way, the 3 that are out are bedside outlets. Have had 1/2 of our food orders incorrect with no offer of replacement. While since going on ...
This ship needs work; physically and otherwise. It’s older; has seen better days but with some focus on improvement, it can come back to its past glory.
Stateroom
Temperature in room uncontrolled
Had to ask for room cleaning first day
Had to ask for towel replacement 3rd day
(Found out later that our cabin steward quit unexpectedly 1st day)
Food
Great food selection in ...
We enjoy the smaller Celebrity ships. Summit is older but well maintained. Food and service are excellent as always. Service was slow for dinner but we had a big group. Wide selection for food and lots of healthy and vegetarian options. We love the Spa Cafe offerings, and they stay the same cruise after cruise and we don't want them to change. The entertainment staff is fun and there was always a ...
Celebrity doesn’t include gratuities in the booking price but you should be aware of their strong pressure tactics to get you to tip what they want you to tip and it is NOT DEPENDENT upon quality of service.
In the old days, you tipped your waiter, room steward, maître d’, etc. based on a the cruise line's recommended amount adjusted for the quality of the service provided you; in other ...
We have cruised for about 15 years now and have sailed with Holland America, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian and Viking. This was our first cruise with Celebrity after hearing they are a class above we booked a four night to Cozumel out of Miami for our family of four. Boarding was easy, cabin standard size with plenty of storage. Dining option only one unless you pay extra and the food is ...
All the staff was amazing from the hostes Rumie who always listened our preferences, to the waiter Josef who did such a great job serving us the whole entire time, to the bartender Amish who is such an amazing entertainer and mixologist, to the room attendant Gusti that was always on top of it leaving our room spotless, coming back to our room and having that awesome feeling when you see ...
This was my second year in a row taking this short holiday Bahamas cruise. I will share a few thoughts but overall it was a good experience and gave me the short break I needed at the end of the year. I would recommend Celebrity and the Summit.
Travel to Miami - flew into Miami on Christmas night arriving near midnight. I was booked at the Hilton Garden Inn Miami Airport West. They offer a ...
I took my first cruise with Celebrity, sold on their marketing that they provide a more upscale experience. One word can describe my experience: disappointment.
Things started the wrong way right with embarkation, when my parents in law visiting us from abroad were denied entry initially, for not having with them EVUS documents. Apparently that's a website registration prior to flying to the ...
Cindy and I were in severe need of a little distraction from real life and at the last minute, we jumped on to a cruise ship for a 5 day Carribbean Cruise.
Me being me, the criteria for choosing a cruise line was the FOOD. I did some internet research and also spoke with longtime family friends who do lots of cruising and a result we booked with Celebrity Cruise Lines, reasonably priced and ...
