Celebrity Summit - Still a Great Ship-
Back-to-Back Cruises out of San Juan Jan 2011
This review will cover the Jan 8th and Jan 15th, 2011 seven day Cruises out of San Juan. Cruising the Eastern Caribbean from San Juan is a great value as you get 6 ports in 7 days with only one day at sea per week. Celebrity Summit designs their cruises so you can do consecutive cruises on the same ship in the same stateroom and you'll see different ports each week. About 150 people out of the 1900 or so passengers did the "Back-to Back" program. Our conclusion was that a 7-day cruise was too short and that 14 days was just about right. The only real downside is that you do get the same entertainment each week. The upside is that you only pack and un-pack once in 2 weeks and you get to know the crew and ship better. In the case of Summit, the entertainment was so good that seeing the same show twice was fine.
Celebrity Suite 8104 - great suite, separate bedroom, dining area, living room, curved windows, great view, no balcony, didn't miss it. Butler service was great, they were always bringing food to the room.
