Bermuda is a beautiful place to visit and cruising there made things even better. We love being able to unpack in our cabin and stay in one place but still seeing various sites. Downtown Hamilton was busy with tourists shopping and sightseeing. Saint George was a good place to walk and see a bit of Bermuda history. Royal Dockyard was okay - not much to do. Onboard, we could enjoy delicious food in ...
We chose this cruise because it was the perfect departure date and a great price. Since we are just this year starting to cruise again we thought we would be adventurous and try a new cruise line.
Embarkation:
We have sailed out of Bayonne, NJ before though it had been a while. We were just last month on the RC Liberty Of The Seas last month up to Canada. So once we parked went into the ...
My DH and I took this same cruise last year in a Sky Suite, but this year we upgraded to a Celebrity Suite, as a splurge. Not worth the difference in cost, but that was largely due to the decline in service around the entire ship this time. This was our 7th cruise on Summit. She has been our favorite ship as we appreciate the smaller size and intimacy as well as personal service. It was very ...
Chose the cruise to experience Celebrity and due to close proximity to the port. The ship is old and in poor condition. There were sewage smells on the lower decks. The food in the dining room was hit or miss. On the last night we had chicken saltimbocca. It was the worst meal that I've ever had on a cruise. The buffet food was generally good, however the selections were lacking. There were ...
My recent cruise caused me to wonder about the direction Celebrity is headed. The Summit is a well maintained vessel with staff that is very friendly. The quality of the food was good.
There were, however, several areas of major concern. One, the dress code has become a total joke. Celebrity promotes itself as a "luxury" line but allows its passengers to dress inappropriately in various ...
We took this cruise because its itinerary was different. Martha's Vineyard, Bermuda and Charleston. Unfortunately we had two rough days at sea. When we left Martha's Vineyard and when we left Charleston we had very rough seas and it was difficult to keep your balance while walking on the ship. Also the entertainment left something to be desired. We don't like magicians and hypnotist. We had ...
Loved the easy boarding in bayonne! No wait!! ship was clean and friendly and updated. Crew very friendly . Went to solo get together first night. Could not believe how we all seemed to click! The matra d came over to us and asked if we would like to dine together! Everything was just so much fun and friendly! Food was great! Our solo table was so much fun!waiter and all was wonderful. If any one ...
We picked this cruise for its itinerary and didn’t know anything about the Summit. We loved the itinerary and felt that it had the perfect mix of days in port and days at sea.
Embarkation was quick and efficient and bags arrived in our staterooms quickly. Our room attendant, Charlie, was excellent.
The ship was lovely. It had recently been updated and although still not the most modern ...
I believe this was our 5th Celebrity cruise. We chose Celebrity because it always seemed to be a quality cruise line, head and shoulders above similar cruise lines. Food was always exciting, top quality and varied. Ship condition and cabin accommodations were always very good. Ship staff was always attentive and typically went beyond any request.
This time our experiences were quite ...
My wife and I have been loyal Celebrity cruisers for many years now, going on 6-7-8 (?) different cruises. We always felt that Celebrity knew, understood, and tended to their older-demographic customer base---till now. We were very much looking forward to this, our first post-pandemic cruise, but as it turned out, not as much as we looked forward to the cruise ending!
Let me ‘bullet-point’ the ...
