Our Cruise – Celebrity Summit –Roundtrip from Port Liberty to Bermuda– June 29 to July 6, 2014
This was a honeymoon cruise for my wife and I. I have personally sailed on NCL and she has sailed on NCL, RCI and Celebrity in the past. Between the 2 of us we have 10 cruises under our belts. We chose Celebrity as it claims to be a luxury cruise experience, as NCL’s Breakaway was doing an identical cruise, its port was easier to get to (In Manhattan) and was less expensive.
Travel to Cape Liberty cruise port from Manhattan was reasonable and comfortable in a town car hired specifically for this trip, minimal wait for the driver to park and get our luggage into a porters hands and us into the line to get on board.
We sailed in aft an stateroom with an exceptionally large balcony, containing a table, 4 chairs and 2 chaise loungers. Unfortunately it is right below the Sunset Bar and noise was a big issue, especially at night after 10 PM, turning on the TV would not even drown it out. I know, who is in your cabin before 10PM, as it was our honeymoon, we wanted to be. We complained and were told via a phone call that noise would be reduced after this time, it never decreased. In fact it was so loud the last 2 nights of the cruise that we decided to just spend the time in other places of the ship instead of dealing with this noise from above.
