Katherine P. from BayShore, NY Sailing date: Jun 2012Pros: Everyone was together, yet we were able to do our own thing! Cons: Aqua Spa area and ice cream bar!!! (Inside joke) Fabulous! I was so pleased to hear that in January the ship was in dry dock and had a "make over". Celebrity knows what they are doing! Ship Quality

   Best trip ever by
Michelle M from Maryland Sailing date: Apr 2011Pros: The staff was the friendliest people on board, the rooms and food where A+ the excursions...beautiful Cons: The bus trips, felt like a cattle call, the islaners tried to put tooo many people on each bus There aren't enough words to say how wonderful this trip was, this was our first cruise and from the ease of booking threw ORBITZ and the sites, sounds, food I have nothing to compare it too. The most wonderful part was when one of the excursions we booked through ORBITZ didn't have a showing enough for the owner to take the catamaran out he stood by our tickets and showed us the time of our lives.

The best short term cruise ever by
Audrey E from Puerto Rico Sailing date: Mar 2011Pros: layout of the ship- genuinely friendly personnel-lectures Cons: beauty personnel too pushy The getting on/off of cruises is cumbersome and slow..but travel has changed anyway.
the ship was older but very well planned. Very good effort in maintenance. Clean. Dining/Foodshellfish and fish tend to be overcooked when brought to table. Other meals good flavor and creative pairings. Dining time about 30 min.too early for us. Like open seating. Stateroom Quality
Ship Staff Qualityseemed to act and react genuinely helpful. Entertainment & ActivitiesAmazing array of talent and offerings considering the short duration.

Summit is still a wonderful ship! by
Dan and Sue S from Detroit, MI Sailing date: Feb 2011Pros: food, entertainment, layout, enclosed spa, staff, efficiency of embarkation and departure Cons: some public areas showing wear or 'dating' The Summit is a great ship in a fine Company that still values quality, sophistication, and passenger service. This is a large ship, but not a mega-liner. This is our 3 rd time on the Summit; and it continues to offer excellent food - one side of the menu is the same; the other side changes daily for dinner in the main dining room. Main Theatre entertainment equal to Broadway/Las Vegas shows. Louge entertainment is excellent - dancing available. Classical music also offered. The Lido Cafe and Spa organic/gourmet options are very high quality, with nice diversity. Oriental, British, even Sushi choices, ice cream and sorbet (all free). The crowd is quieter, a bit more mature, but plenty of honeymooners, families, and true seniors. Europeans all around, as well. This is still a classic, beautiful ship, with lovely wood trims, art all around, and class. The deck bar staff are not intrusive at all. Smoke free Casino is a real treat. Plenty of room to spread out all over the ship. Cabin staff were fine (missed not having wrapped towel animals; but we survived). You can still find the disco and late night partying, if so inclined. No compromise on quality or variety in all food areas. Ship Qualityto have a $38 million refurbishment that is planned this year. Dining/FoodGreat variety, quality, new options every day all over the ship. Spa breakfast and lunch choices are a 'secret'; but well worth exploring each day. Stateroom QualityWe had a lovely porthole cabin with refrigerator, love seat, small table, plenty of closet and drawer space. Ship Staff Qualityfriendly staff. Ship officers always around the decks and mingled with passengers in theme events. Entertainment & ActivitiesWonderful productions each night, 'clean' funny comic, European acrobat couple were a real treat. Singing and dancing equal to the best anywhere. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

A very enjoyable cruise! by
Nancy S. from Pittsburgh, PA Sailing date: Jul 2010Pros: Best entertainers and entertainment. Cons: The fog on our way home, but that could not be controlled. The ship was very nice and had all necessary amenities. The gym was very nice. Even though some equipment was broken I did not have to wait for equipment. The entertainers were the best part of the trip as well as the ports and excursions. The entertainers were excellent performers and were very friendly also. The food was very good and there many options to choose. Ship Quality

Bar Harbor, MaineWe loved this port and will go back sometime on our own.
Don't Miss: The shoreline walk, acadia national park, the shops and cadillac mountain. Portland, MaineNice port and city to explore.
Don't Miss: Portland Headlight Halifax, Nova ScotiaA beautiful port and city. I hope to return someday. I would like to see kennebunkport and some beaches.
Don't Miss: peggy's cove Saint John, New BrunswickGreat little city to visit and the reversing falls were amazing as well as the tide. Irving nature park was a nice outdoor tour but not for a first time visitor. Also, if going on nature walk there are many misquitoes and prior to going you should use an insect repellent.

Great cruise by
Marie B from Andover, CT Sailing date: Jun 2010Pros: The staff was pleasant and anxious to be of service. There was not the constant barage of sales pitches you find on some cruises to the Caribbean which really annoy me. Cons: The pool deck seating is a problem. People reserve seats and hold them even if the people are not using the pool facilities. The ship is an older and smaller vessel which has its advantages since its easier to get around. It could use new carpeting in some areas. Overall though it is well maintained and the attendants keep it very clean Ship Quality

King's Wharf, BermudaBermuda is beautiful, however the inability to rent cars is quite restrictive to exploring the countryside. We rented a Boston Whaler at Somerset Bridge and is was great. Don't waste your time on Wednesday Harbor night. The ship had better entertainment and less crowds and hassle to return by ferry

Celebrity Summit Caribbean Cruise by
A Traveler from Houston, TX Sailing date: Mar 2010Pros: Wonderful itinerary and pampered care - a pleasant, professional, and attentive staff. Cons: Frankly, some of the other passengers - working hard to be This was our first cruise and we were very impressed. Excellent service from beginning to end - great shore excursion choices - amazing food - great on-board entertainment and activities for all ages and physical abilities. There was a wide range of ages on our cruise - from singles, couples with babies, teens, young adults, on to the elderly (although there weren't many of these), with a number of countries represented and quite a cross-section of the U.S. Service was absolutely excellent - we had no complaints. Guest Services promptly and professionally handled a few small issues we had, to our total satisfaction. One shore excursion was cancelled for reasons beyond the control of the ship, and we were promptly credited with the cost. We had staff assigned to our room and evening table, who remembered details like who drank decaffeinated coffee. I have never experienced such courteous and professional service - it was such a pleasure. Ship QualityLoved the ship - very clean, comfortable, and pleasant. Dining/FoodFood was excellent and abundant - served all hours. We chose select dining for dinner, with reservations each night. The food and service were both outstanding. For breakfast and lunch we did the buffets, which had a wide and varied choice of food - all excellently prepared. Stateroom QualityWe had a balcony stateroom which we loved - enough room to be comfortable and stow clothing and possessions out of the way, with a very pleasant balcony to enjoy the ocean views and often, for breakfast in our room. Ship Staff QualityThe ship's staff was unfailingly pleasant, helpful, and professional. Entertainment & ActivitiesWe attended evening performances and special events each night that we thoroughly enjoyed. Only problem was too many choices! 5 out of 7 people found this review helpful.

Wonderful Mediterranean Cruise by
Paul D. from Sacramento, CA Sailing date: Nov 2009Pros: The luxurious life style on ship and friendly, courteous employees Our consierge room on the Sky Deck was large and comfortable w/king size bed, sofa, and veranda. The meals were exquisite, whether in the dining room or one of the many buffet area. The ship never felt crowded, despite accommodating over 2,000 guests. The entertainment was excellent, a good variety, and in good taste. Daily tour information and shopping tips were helpful. Several venues were offerred for days at sea. Ship Quality

Total personal satisfaction. by
Margie from North Canton, Ohio, USA Sailing date: Mar 2006Pros: Service. March 2006 was our first Celebrity cruise. We had heard so many good things about Celebrity, we were excited to experience it for ourselves. We were impressed by the extent the waiters went to make each meal, whether in the main dining room or the buffet, a dining experience. From the napkins on the trays to the waiters carrying our trays to our tables at breakfast and lunch to the fantastic service in the main dining room at dinner. I was surprised to find a complimentary tote bag along with a (if needed) umbrella in our cabin. The casino was even good to me. All in all it was a fantastic cruise. On the flip side, I would have liked to be at each island longer but I know that is not possible while cruising. At least we got a taste of each island and we loved it. We loved the pianist, Brooks Aehron - My husband bought two tapes and we enjoy them often. The bar tender at the Martini bar was a delite. She made our before dinner cocktail a joy. We have cruised on many other lines but Celebrity was the most unique and sophisticated line we have experienced. We hope to cruise with Celebrity again. Entertainment & Activities
