We sailed on the Celebrity Summit out of San Juan on Thanksgiving week. There were five port-days (St. Croix, St. Kitts, Dominca, Grenada and St. Thomas) and one day at sea.
Since it was a holiday week there were more school-age passengers than you normally see in November. Since we sailed from San Juan many passengers were Puerto Rican, so Celebrity provided strong Spanish services and the entertainment had a Latin flavor. I wouldn’t call this a “Party Cruise” (like a Carnival ship sailing out of Miami.) But there was festive, cordial vibe. There was also a lot of spirited dancing by people of all ages. The only other time I remember such a diversity of passengers was on a cruise out of NYC.
The Summit is not massive or very new, but it’s tastefully appointed. You won’t find a waterslide, bowling alley or rock-climbing wall. But there are a variety of bars and restaurants. The library is on two decks. There’s no smoking in the casino! There’s large fitness center, a jogging track and pool deck.
