We are a family of four, two adults early 40's and two children(9 and 11) that have cruised before on many lines (Costa, Celebrity, MSC, Norwegian, Princess, and RCI), however this was our first trip to Bermuda.

After a lot of thinking and research we chose the Celebrity Summit over the Holland American Veendam, mainly because of the ship having just newly been "solstized" and having sailed Celebrity before knowing they have a great product. We were not disappointed.

Our cabin was 6024 a category 2C, which is the lowest category balcony room on the ship. We were originally in a category 7 ocean view but chose to pay to upgrade to the 2C when we realized we could get on the "sweet sixteen" cabins with the extra large balcony. If you are not familiar with the "sweet sixteen" cabins on the M class ships search the boards and you will find that these cabins located on deck 6 forward have DOUBLE the size balconies of the other rooms in this category and most other categories higher (with some exceptions of course).
