Celebrity Summit Review

Additional details
We are a couple in our 50's, this January 2nd thru the 9th was our first cruise on Celebrity. I was pleased to learn that my RCCL Crown & Anchor Platinum membership could be applied to a Celebrity's Captain's Club Select membership, so we were off to a good start with a few extra perks.
Arrived in San Juan on New Years Day, from Portland Maine. No unusual airport security hassles or delays. We actually traveled with 'carry-on baggage' only, so passage was fast and easy at both the airport and the ship. We walked past many lines - sweet!! It took some discipline to pack light but shorts and t-shirts don't require too much space but we did have to skip formal nights in the dining room.
After reading many TripAdvisor reviews I booked at the SJ Suites Hotel on Fortaleza Street in Old San Juan. No bells & whistles here but the rooms are clean, comfortable and affordable. The best thing about this hotel is the fantastic location. Everything was within walking distance, the old city streets, restaurants and attractions. Great for touring the day before and the of sailing. Unfortunately the Summit was sailing from the Pan American Pier so a short taxi ride was required.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Ocean View with Balcony 2C
Our 2C cabin (6029) was very much like other cruiseship staterooms we have bunked in but with a few nicer features. Real wood paneling, floor to ceiling mirrors, attractive drapes & light fixtures, bathroom toiletries and a very comfortable bed w/ rounded space saving corners, clever...The oversized balcony was the best feature. The AC/Heat was very responsive. The shower was a good one. The bathroom size worked. Overall we loved our cabin, especially that big balcony.
