Celebrity Summit Review

Additional details
Embarkation was smooth and easy. Our daughter dropped us off at 11:15 and we were enjoying lunch by noon on the aft deck. Then, it was up on deck to wave good-bye to Staten Island and pass under the Verrazano. We often watched the cruise ships from shore pass through the narrows and it was exciting to be on the other side.
The Summit is a beautiful, sophisticated lady who does have her flaws. I kept hearing about chipped paint and rust and yes there is some wear on outside rails or underneath pool ledges. The Summit is not pristine out-of-the-box brand new, but it is a large ship with an intimate feel. Though the cruise was filled, we never felt congested.
Our stateroom was clean, comfortable, and well-attended by cabin steward. It was freshened twice a day.
Cabin Review
Deluxe Ocean View with Balcony 2A
Cabin 7047 was comfortable with plenty of storage space. Being a middle deck, I usually took the stairs up a few flight to pool and buffet or down a few flights to lounges and dining room. Balcony gave it a light airy feeling. It was a connecting cabin so you saw light from under the door of cabin next door and heard conversation as if they were in your room. It was the end of cabins they consider front and next to 7049 which they consider midship and a higher class. We booked 7049 for next year because it has a larger balcony that can fit a lounge chair, but I don't like that you can see into other balconies. In 7047 you could only look straight ahead and not into other balconies. I have to weigh the pros and cons.
