Celebrity Summit Review
Rating by category
Additional details
We're a 27/28 year old married couple and this was our second Celebrity cruise, first on an M-Class boat. Expectations are everything, especially transitioning from an S-Class to an M-Class boat. I armed myself with knowledge and was therefore not disappointed, but could appreciate the Summit's more subtle brand of sophistication as opposed to the Reflection's modern glamour. We were in a 2C Sweet Sixteen Balcony room. The sail over to Bermuda was very rough. We experienced high waves and I relied on my medication to keep me moving and eating. Overall though, we had such a fantastic time that we took advantage of Celebrity's "All In" promotion which gives you free gratuities, beverage package, and on-board credit when you book a future sailing to Bermuda. That was a no-brainier after the great cruise we experienced, so we'll be Bermuda-bound again next June :-)
Embarkation: D
We had a rough start due to a coast guard inspection. We had stayed at the Hampton Inn on Staten Island which provides free transportation to the port. We arrived at 10:20 and were checked in and waiting in the holding area by 10:45. The room became very crowded and noisy and the person giving instructions was attempting to get our attention on a bullhorn. You couldn't hear him and it was a disaster waiting to happen. We finally got on the boat around 12:30. The champagne waiting for us was a relief!
Cabin Review
While smaller than our OV on the Reflection, the double size balcony made up for it in spades. We had room 6028, which is one of the "sweet 16" cabins. It had ample storage space and the bed was comfortable. We were missing a deck chair but it was resolved within a few hours of notifying our attendant. The bathroom was adequate but was showing its age with a bit of mold in the shower and dingy grout. The A/C worked great and our attendants Suneil and Lancy were the best we've ever had.
