Background: My DH is 60 and I'm 56. This was our 21st cruise - 18th with Celebrity. It was also our 6th time on Summit, 11th time cruising out of Cape Liberty and our 3rd time to Bermuda. We did this cruise last year May 19-26, 2013. We decided to do the Memorial Day week cruise so we only had to use 4 vacation days from work since Memorial Day was a holiday.
Two days before we left we got an e-mail and phone call from Celebrity saying there would be a Coast Guard Inspection on Sunday, May 25th and embarkation would not start until 12:00 Noon. We didn't want to wait to leave the house since traffic would then be worse. I am glad we left when we originally planned. We left the house around 9:00 AM got to the port a little after 10:00 AM. Dropped off our luggage, parked the car and checked in. We were on the ship at 10:45 AM. So much for delayed embarkation. We found out later in the week during the Captain's talk that the Coast Guard had canceled the inspection.
Celebrity still has the wonderful touch of greeting you with champagne, mimosa or orange juice when you walk on board. It’s a nice touch and we appreciate that they still do this. Since rooms would not be ready until close to 1:30 PM, my husband went to the fitness center and I went to lay on the pool deck in the shade. There was practically no one on board yet.
Cabin Review
We have been in this stateroom before. It's and inside cabin on deck 7 very mid-ship. It's a great location and makes getting anywhere on the ship very easy. Our only complaint is that our bathroom floor was always wet. Sometimes not so bad, and it took me all week to try and find the source of the water. Seems it was coming from the bottom corner of the shower. The grout or something needs to be redone. Other than that annoyance the room was clean with plenty of room for all our things for a 7 night cruise. On really good thing about our statement and not sure if all staterooms can do this we picked up the Celebrity wi-fi with no problems at all. It was nice to be able to stay in the stateroom and go on the internet on our tablets while relaxing.
