	Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Total personal satisfaction. by Margie from North Canton, Ohio, USA Sailing date: Mar 2006 Pros: 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.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 30 - 49 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Group Great service and ship. by Ammie from Los Angeles, CA Sailing date: Aug 2006 Pros: The outside sitting area on the back of the ship, we had breakfast outside every morning. It was a great way to relax before heading out to the day's port. The celebrity ship the Summit was fantastic. The staff was very friendly, the ship was very clean. On board activities were great and we enjoyed all of the ports. It was very easy to find your way around the ship and getting on and off at each port was very easy as well. We had a great time every night with our waiters for our late seating dinner. We had such a great time we are planning on going on the same cruise again in 2008. I highly recommend Celebrity Cruises.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Oceanview 12 Day Mediteranian Cruise 2009 by Kimberly H. from Seattle, WA Sailing date: Jun 2009 Pros: Lot's of ports to visit Cons: Lack of hours of operation & no variety of buffet food I have mixed feelings about this cruise. It was quite expensive and things shut down around 9:00 to 10:00 PM. My room was tiny, but I spent very little time in it so that was not an issue. The staff basically bent over backwards to serve you seemlessly. I got ill one day and had to cancel an all day excursion and they refused to refund my money for that. Big tip; just book your excursions one day in advance. As you go you will learn from others which excursions are value added and which ports are best to just catch a cab or train for very little money. The cuiseline will give you maps of the best places to visit. You can save hundreds of dollars this way. This cruise is definatly not for solo travelers, I believe I was the only one on the ship... Ship Details: Ship Quality They could have more deck chairs, if you sleep past 7am they are all reserved by fellow travelers Dining/Food I only ate in the restraunt one time due to the early seating or conflict with the shows. The buffet gets old fast. They server the exact food every day, but the room service is a god send. Stateroom Quality Very nice but small Ship Staff Quality the butlers were excellent. The shore excursion people blew me off several times. Guest relations & others were great. Entertainment & Activities Comedy was great. Movies & bingo were fun. Casinio is tiny but fun. The other shows were all geared to older crowds. Read this user's port of call reviews: Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy; Dubrovnik, Croatia; Santorini, Greece; Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy; Naples, Italy; Piraeus (Athens), Greece; Venice, Italy; Villefranche-Sur-Mer, France Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy I got lost a bunch of times but this is a very cool city - must see. Don't Miss: Vatican Dubrovnik, Croatia Walk from the ship, it is close! The entire city is very cool!! Walk the city wall if it is not too hot out. There is tons of great people watching & shopping. You will love this city. Don't Miss: The city wall Santorini, Greece Awesome beautiful city Don't Miss: Great views, 4 wheeling!! Livorno (Florence & Pisa), Italy You must not miss spending about 20 minutes at the leaning tower. Florance is a wonderful city to visit Don't Miss: Leaning tower of Pisa Naples, Italy Great city. There is just tons of fabulous architecture to see. Piraeus (Athens), Greece This is a nasty dirty city. The only good part is the Acropolis. Be careful not to get lost in the tiny little streets, you will miss your tour bus. Don't Miss: Acropolis Venice, Italy It was awesome but there was some sort of religious holiday so most things were shut down. Regardless there was enough to see to keep me busy all day. Don't Miss: Statue of David Villefranche-Sur-Mer, France You can smell the money dripping off of the people! Eat before you go, food is very expensve. (paid 22 euro foor a hamburger!!!) Don't Miss: Monico! 9 out of 11 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Oceanview Celebrity Summit--aloof crew! by Mo G from PA Sailing date: Jul 2010 Pros: Wonderful adult only thalassmo mineral pool and outstanding BRUNCH!! Cons: Crew--mostly officers--did not say hello when passing in the hall/stairs etc. Very small portions in the main dining room. This was my 4th cruise with Celebrity [14th or 15th total cruises] and the first cruise on the Summit. I have been on the Celebrity Century and was very impressed with the friendliness of the staff. The Summit does not have a happy crew this summer! I would not let that keep me from returning or recommending this ship, but Celebrity should take note and improve their customer relations! The cabin stewards, dining room staff were excellent, as well as room service! Any day on a cruise beats a day at work! Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food The menu options were limited some evenings,but there is always steak and chicken to order. My recommendation: order side vegetables! 3 carrots or 3 string beans is not a serving! The brunch was wonderful with reduced prices [not advertised] for champage and mimosas! Stateroom Quality Clean stateroom, comfortable beds, but the decor needs to be updated. This was not a problem for me! Ship Staff Quality Staff [mostly officers] would barely nod when passing in the hallway and not say hello, good day etc! Very disappointing. Entertainment & Activities Great comedian and magician! Read this user's port of call reviews: Bar Harbor, Maine; Portland, Maine; Halifax, Nova Scotia; Saint John, New Brunswick Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Bar Harbor, Maine Nice town, friendly people with beautiful Acadia National Park too! We easily tendered into Bar Harbor! Don't Miss: Lobster rolls everywhere. Bar Harbor Inn had delicious lobster rolls, and was full of lobster chunks! Hmmmn! Portland, Maine Order your excursions early! Kennebunkport excursion was sold out early. My sister and I ended up renting a car and driving. This ended up being a plus, since we went shopping at the nearby outlets and saw the LL Bean flagship store too! Halifax, Nova Scotia Pretty! Forget about FRED!! He was jammed, with limited buses. It is no substitute for the trolley/tour. We took the trolley tour and did all 3 loops! The price is the same on the street, as on the ship....interesting enough...charged to your seapass when purchased curbside!! Saint John, New Brunswick Waste of time. 6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

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.

Cons: The Food was horrible and cleanliness was awefull!!!!!! All Beverages are way overpriced and they didnt let you have anything but water for free after breakfast.

Don't Miss: Swimming with the turtles and sting rays but dont book it through the ship. Cost less than half price if you do it on your own. St. George's, Grenada Roseau, Dominica Best Island in the Caribbean!!! Don't Miss: Trafalgar Falls and the Beauty of the Island. Scarborough, Tobago Very dangerous and dirty with armed gaurds everywere with automatic weapons. Scary place and the locals are very aggressive.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 7+ cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Inside Good Times! by Den P from Windsor ON Sailing date: Mar 2009 Pros: Ship's crew were all efficent. The check in and out were most smooth. Cons: Rather subdued party atmosphere, elevator music sessions. The ship was beautify decorated. There was not some of the amenities seen elsewhere such as a golf simulator, climbing wall or mini golgf course but what was there was all very nicely maintained. Very clean and well managed. Ship Details: Ship Quality Ship layout was fiine even wirh the large crowd we carried. Staff were always willing to help when asked. Dining/Food Food was first rate. Menues had a good variety. Seafood lovers would enjoy the many offerings. Only problem was that we found MSG or other additives must have been added. We had some reactions to food at times. Stateroom Quality The room was tight at the foot of the bed to walk by. Other than that it was nicely decorated and quite adequate. We do not cruise to spend time in the room. Ship Staff Quality Crew were always helpful and also had a sense of humor. That sense helped us all enjoy the time spent with them. Entertainment & Activities Entertainment is not their strong suit. It was good but not innovative in any way. The bands were sedate with easy listening style of music. Read this user's port of call reviews: Oranjestad, Aruba; St. George's, Grenada; Kralendijk, Bonaire; Roseau, Dominica; Philipsburg, St. Maarten Collapse List of Ports Ports of Call: Oranjestad, Aruba Lots of shops. You can walk all over and feel secure. Minibuses everywhere to take you on tour. Public buses good and cheap to the beaches. Don't Miss: Beaches are beautiful. Rent a cot and relax. St. George's, Grenada Went out on a sailboat for fun. swimming and beaching. Most enjoyable. Don't Miss: Walk up to the town square market well beyond the tourist trap shops on the docks. Kralendijk, Bonaire More easy going, laid back approach to living here. Don't demand fast service. They have "no worries, mon". Don't Miss: Famous for the diving. Roseau, Dominica Tubing down the river rapids was a fine time and the rum punch gave a real kick. Just not for wee children. Don't Miss: RAINFOREST Philipsburg, St. Maarten It rained and blew! In St. Maarten it is always sunny, I thought. Worked out as we went out n the Americas Cup race and had a rolicking time. Faux designer purses and other items, and watches (Chinese Rolex) are best prices here. Don't Miss: Everyone should do the America's Cup at least once, even seeing the cost. 6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

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!

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony Best trip ever by Michelle M from Maryland Sailing date: Apr 2011 Pros: 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.
