Sail Date: Apr 2013
Cabin: Deluxe Ocean View with Balcony 2A

We had originally planned on arriving in San Juan on Friday 4/19 and staying overnight, but due to weather issues we ended up stuck in Philadelphia and took the 2nd flight out the next morning. Smooth flight, got our luggage quickly and 20 mins later we were at the port.

Once we arrived at the port, it took us a grand total of 10 minutes to check in and board the ship. The recent refurbishing of the Summit shows, she was in great shape and has character that is lacking on the newer/larger ships. Our balcony cabin (8153) was a little smaller than we are used to, but was in an amazing location (close to everything) and had tons of storage space. The veranda size was fairly standard and everything related to the cabin was in good repair. Our cabin steward Norma was very pleasant and went out of her way to make our cruise enjoyable.

Musical acts around the ship were all very good (we especially liked The Crewners, an a capella singing group). The evening shows were weak, with the exception of the comdian (clean comedy, can't remember his name) and the illusionist (can't remember his name either, but that quality of his act should land him on a show like Americas Got Talent. You know the guy's good when the audience doesn't clap because we're trying to figure out how he's doing these amazing tricks and stunts. Very funny, personable and he was the talk of the ship for several days after).

Deluxe Ocean View with Balcony 2A

Cabin 2A

8153 (veranda balcony cabin) category 2A or 2B, I think. Smaller cabin but very comfortable. Would be a stretch for three adults, but two adults and a child would probably be OK. This cabin has an incredible amount of storage space and was in a great location (short walk to two flights of steps & elevators; two flights up puts you right at Oceanview cafe and pool deck). Veranda was nice sized, very comfortable.

NOTE: Be mindful to check on which side of the ship where smoking is allowed if you are a smoker or you don't want to be around smokers. The Summit allowed smoking on the left side of the ship (including verandas and outside decks, not inside).
