May 2 - May 9 Celebrity Summit to Newport and Bermuda Embarkation: Arrived at Cape Liberty cruiseport at 2:30. We thought the lines would move quickly, but it was 45 min in a long winding line before we got our sea passes. (so much for online boarding passes...not so quick anymore) This process could improve greatly if Celebrity opened those windows to everyone when the "concierge class" and suite's line were empty. I looked over several times to see several windows open while our line hardly moved. We got onboard around 3:15.

Room: We booked room 7176 (balcony aft) We prefer this location as it is close to the elevators and the aft elevators are usually less crowded. Our room was very pleasant and our balcony about twice the size of the Cat 2A balconies. Beds were very comfy, and although the bathroom is showing it's age, it was still very clean. Our room steward Peter Rodriquez was awesome. If I needed something I would write it down on a memo and place it on the mirror. Whatever I needed was there when I arrived back to the room. He was always pleasant, as was his assistant, and our room was always clean.

Ship: The ship inside is in great shape, everything sparkles and shines. She is a pretty ship. We did notice however, that the outside decks and railings and the suite decks were in bad need of refurbishing. Read more
