My husband and I, along with our teenaged son, have cruised on Holland America, Norwegian and Royal Caribbean in the past and were looking forward to the "luxury" Celebrity promises on the Summit on our July trip to Bermuda to celebrate a birthday.

While we were pleased that the Summit is a "smaller" ship than most other cruise ships out of New York/New Jersey, the cruise line sells Celebrity as a "luxury" brand, even branding "Celebrity Life" with the promise of first class service and excellent accomodations. By doing this, they do themselves a great disservice as our expectations were very high.

The Celebrity Summit is like other ships in many ways. Good food. Very nice staff. Interesting dEcor. The differences are also positives. More mature clientele, which is very good. A sense of decorum around the ship, friendly middle-aged crowd with some families.

Cabin Review

Quiet location, adequate size balcony, adequate size room. But toilet seat was cracked, shower was rusty, small shampoo for 3 people was not replaced until we asked. Little details that mean a lot, and again, do not speak the "luxury" promised in the branding. Misleading and this mis-branding is doing Celebrity Summit a great disservice.
