Celebrity Summit

First time cruisers

October

Pros: Celebrity provided wonderful customer service. The staff were excellent, the ship was clean at all times, and the onboard entertainment was good.

Cons: We did not enjoy Nassau as much as we had hoped.

Recommended: Yes

Panama Canal

September

Pros: Friendly and helpfulness of all staff on the Summitt

Cons: Panaramic highlight excurions were a disappointment

Recommended: Yes

First time cruiser

August

Pros: Great staff, good food, plenty of activities, value for price paid.

Cons: Cost of excursions, directional signs in hallways

Recommended: Yes

This was my first cruise, but definitely won’t be the last! The size of Summit was the right size for me. A bigger mega-ship would have been too overwhelming. I wish there were better signs in hallways to give directions to various areas in the ship. The food was good and there was a variety of cuisines to choose from. There was a nice variety of activities offered throughout the day. Beds were comfortable and adequate storage space in the stateroom. All staff members were so friendly and helpful!

Alaska cruise

August

Pros: Activities and entertainment

Cons: Bathroom / cabin size not ideal for 3 people

Recommended: Yes

The celebrity summit Alaska cruise exceeded our expectations. The ship was well maintained. The food and beverage options were great. In particular I appreciated their flexibility in accommodating vegetarian requests. We really enjoyed the in port excursions as well as the numerous on board activities. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in visiting Alaska.

Alaska in May aboard Summit

May

Pros: Great service, good entertainment, good food

Cons: Engine noise in Level 2 cabin, lack of pre-cruise excursion information

Recommended: Yes

Overall we had a great trip and experience. We did not partake in any of the special restaurants and enjoyed the dinning room for suppers and the buffet at breakfast. We were happy with the classic beverage package - it worked well for us. We paid for the onboard spa package, which I probably wouldn't do again. While it was nice, there just wasn't a lot of time to take advantage of it. My husband didn't use it at all. There was a lack of information about the pre-cruise train excursion (where are we supposed to be and how do we get there). We didn't receive any information about that at all and ended up going to the train depot when we should have gone to the airport. It all worked out, but that was a bit of a stressor. I would go again. I honestly didn't really notice any difference in the level of service or food from the times we sailed on Royal Caribbean ships.

Panamá Canal

April

Pros: Crew was exemplary. Food was great. Entertainment was top notch. Staterooms very comfortable.

Cons: Shore excursions were a bit rushed.

Recommended: Yes

I would highly recommend this 16 day repositioning cruise. There was always something going on during sea days. We enjoyed the highly knowledgeable and entertaining Beyond the Podium speakers. We never missed their presentations. Our staterooms were serviced twice a day always when we were gone so it was never inconvenient. If we had any special request, ie an extension cord, the room attendant always provided. Overall the cruise was worth every penny and I would highly recommend this ship and the itinerary.

Panama Canal in Style

April

Pros: A smaller ship that does the full transit in the original locks.

Cons: Needs more port opportunities.

Recommended: Yes

Beautifully updated ship with a crew that provides unparalleled service. The menus over the 16 nights were varied and delicious. The entertainment was wonderful. We had a variety of production shows, singers, comedians and a magician. We loved the Retreat! We were treated like royalty from the time we entered the terminal until we reluctantly left the last morning. The Retreat staff held special events in the Retreat lounge including senior officer meet and greets, delicious treats and drinks. I can't say enough good things about this ship and crew. Highly recommend.

Alaskan Frontier Vacation

September

Pros: Food, State room, staff, ports, activities

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

We had a very enjoyable experience on this cruise and we will definitely use Celebrity again when we chose to go on a cruise. Our steward Melvin and our butler Lorenzo were excellent!!!

Beautiful landscapes - the land trip gets the best reviews on this combination package

September

Pros: Quiet staterooms, good stateroom service, good bar service

Cons: Food, except for one meal, is mediocre to average; security staff is rude

Recommended: Yes

The tour by Alaska Premier Tours from Fairbanks to Seward was outstanding. The cruise was merely average, but it is made up for by being in Alaska.

Wonderful trip

August

Pros: Great staff, good food, fun entertainment, nicely renovated ship.

Cons: Airport connections needed more directions for our cruisetour.

Recommended: Yes

Overall, we had a great Cruise and cruisetour. We did the land portion first. Then we could relax when we got to the ship. Excursions were wonderful.

Overall great experience

July

Pros: Staff was excellent

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

From the time we step on the boat to the time we step off the boat it was a great experience. I would highly recommend Celebrity Summit cruise and land cruise.

Alaskan Adventure

June

Pros: Staterooms, service and hospitality from all the staff, excursions.

Cons: The food was good in the Cosmopolitan dining room but inconsistent. Steaks were often over cooked and/or cold.

Recommended: Yes

The overall experience was wonderful. There was a variety of excursions from which to choose. I would recommend Celebrity cruises to my family and friends!

Fabulous

June

Pros: Staff was extremely attentive and pleasant.

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

I can't say anything negative about the crew. I would like to point out that our waiter Numad was the best. He was extremely attentive and after one day knew my likes and dislikes! Couldn't have asked for better. I wasn't happy with the shows however, the young violin player was the best.

Great trip! Highly recommend!

June

Pros: Stateroom was great and the food was fantastic

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

Highly recommend this cruise. The staff n crew were outstanding. Food and entertainment was amazing. Ports of call were so interesting. Perfect accommodations too.

Celebrity Cruise

June

Pros: It was an exciting trip !

Cons: 12 days was to long for the family!

Recommended: No

Trip was 2 long. Sleeping beds very uncomfortable at times. Needed more live entertainment. Overall, complaints from guests needed to be handled more professionally..

Great cruise!

May

Pros: Staff were wonderful, dining room food was delicious, buffet was quite varied and pretty good, our cabin was spacious and we loved having the veranda.

Cons: Music in the lounges was too loud early evenings. The production show was sub-par

Recommended: Yes

The ship has been refurbished and was really quite nice with just a few exceptions where we saw rust in our bathroom in our cabin and there was a foul odor at times in our bathroom. Our cabin steward, Wayan, was wonderful! The itinerary was very good. We saw many beautiful things right from our veranda! The music in the various lounges was too loud to allow for conversation in the early evenings. The specialty restaurants were really very good. I especially enjoyed Le Petit Chef for the entertainment value! The two negatives were: 1-The production show seemed inappropriate for families; the costumes were uninspired, and the dancing was minimal in quality. The one highlight were the aerialists. 2-The fishing excursion in Ketchikan was much less than advertised. The brochure and the Celebrity app were labeled "salmon fishing", and stated we could have our catch prepared to take home. However, when we arrived we were told king salmon were the only thing running, and the season wasn't open for them yet; and we were also told anything we might catch could not be prepared to take home because that service doesn't open until mid-June. We also spent a half hour standing in line and getting our fishing licenses, which could have been done before leaving the ship if we'd been informed. Further, the captain of the boat had no deck hand so things were very hectic. Altogether, this excursion was a total waste of money.

Our 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration to Alaska

May

Pros: Convenient elevators, fabulous helpful staff, wonderful food selections

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

We had a wonderful experience on our first cruise. Everything was organized, from embarkation to debarkation. The ship was in good repair, clean, and comfortable. Our room Steward was impeccable with cleanliness. Our wait staff was superb for our dining experiences. We had fun while we enjoyed the entertainment experiences. We could not have asked for a better celebration for our 50th anniversary.

Terrible

April

Pros: Staff

Cons: Most everything else

Recommended: No

No power twice, no water 4 times, no toilets 4 times, no elevator couple never worked,, no activity unless you like board games trivia and coloring,, no stopping at Bimini, glasses that leak or were cracked, food was average at best. Crappy wifi, TV out alot. Shops were overpriced.

Wonderful Vacation

November

Pros: Smaller ship, less crowded and more laid-back

Cons: Simpler activities, Less for little children

Recommended: Yes

We had a very enjoyable trip with very little stress. There weren’t many sports activities such as on the big ships, but they did have a kids club and lots of planned activities for older ages and adults. The staff is extremely helpful and welcoming. We like the idea of the smaller ship as it was easy to find seats at any event.

Excellent trip

October

Pros: Crew, Food

Cons: Ship needed a little paint touch up here and there

Recommended: Yes

We had a great time! The food and crew were great! We've always thought Celebrity Ships were the best looking overall ships at the Port and were surprised to see a few scattered rust spots and unkempt windows on the ship, our balcony, and a few other areas. Overall, the Cruise was great and we recommend this Cruise and the beautiful scenery on this trip.

Celebrity Summit

April

Cons: No Crown Royal available on the ship. My premium beverage package didn’t do me much good.

Recommended: Yes

Overall this was a great cruise. We had an experienced waiter in Luminae but overall it seemed like it was a lot of new/trainee type employees. Not the personal touch that we’ve experienced on other Celebrity ships.

Excellent Vacation

April

Cons: slow spotty wifi

Recommended: Yes

Great time was had by all

Very Relaxing

December

Pros: Great service in resturants, room ,1/3 capacity so personal attention, plenty of attention, social distancing space.

Cons: no cigar lounge. too much overselling of specialty resturants

Recommended: Yes

Bar service was iffy and not consistent between bars, not enough smoking areas or lounges but lots of tobacco products for sale in liquor shop. Sushi on 5 was good and 1/2 price for similar meal at land based resturant.

Excellent and relaxing vacation!

August

Pros: Staff were extremely hospitable.

Cons: Ship is geared towards an elderly population

Recommended: Yes

For the second year in a row we had a great time on the Summit. Loved the remodeling of the rooms and common areas. Our room attendant Seon was phenomenal as well as the dining crew Saudiasa, Christopher and Monwa. They catered to our every need and were very helpful. The buffet area becomes very crowded during peak hours but if you are willing to either go earlier or later for food then you'll be ok. This goes the same for the pool which is small as well but overall a great time and we would do it again!

Recommended: Yes

We were on this ship 2 years ago, and everything was pristine. After 2 years, the ship is showing some wear. But, don't despair! In Feb of 2019, this ship is being overhauled and will be brand-spanking new! So, we are looking forward to the "new" Summit in 2019

Pros: the staff was great. Love Bobby she's a hoot.

Cons: the lines to embark & disemark are nasty.

Recommended: Yes

the chairs in the buffet are looking shabby.

Sailing on the Summit

April

Pros:

Cons: Aqua Class

Recommended: Yes

Force to eat at Blu Restaurant. A small quiet Health Food Restaurant. Hard time switching to MDR.

Amazing cruise

April

Pros: Ports of Call, Great Food, Very friendly staff.

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

More customs/immigration personnel would have helped get the passengers off faster. This was the hold up due to long lines in Bayonne

Excellent Cruise

April

Pros: Staff and Food were wonderful

Cons: Ship is dated and requires update.

Recommended: Yes

The staff and crew were outstanding. Everyone was so helpful, it was wonderful.

Carribean Cruise

February

Pros: Everything was great.

Cons: Nothing bad happened

Recommended: Yes

Our Captain and crew we're the Best!

Don't believe everything you hear

January

Pros: Awesome crew and service

Cons: Internet was lousy. Big surprise.

Recommended: Yes

The crew, the wait staff and our cabin steward were amazing. I had heard that the ship was one of the oldest in the fleet and that it showed. It couldn't be further from the truth. Yes, there were multiple layers of paint on some of the fixtures (same as other ships). There were spots of rust (like on other ships) but the overall condition of the ship was just fine. Captain Kate was awesome. She even greeted everyone as they disembarked. Never had a captain do that before. The food in the main restaurant was good but not spectacular which seems to be pretty standard these days with specialty restaurants. Overall the experience was very good. Don't be afraid to take this ship. It was one of the best cruises I've been on.

T & S Xmas cruise

December

Pros: Everything good

Cons: None worthy of mention

Recommended: Yes

Most enjoyable.

Canada/New England

September

Pros: Summit is always a great ship to cruise. The Captain Alex was excellent, and his demeanor is very evident in the response of the crew.

Cons: Wish the fish was better at dinner. Also, 14 days a tad too long for me.

Recommended: Yes

New England/Canada Cruise

July

Pros: Good food, excellent service, FANTASTIC captain!

Cons: Entertainment was not as expected. There was only one show by the ship's cast, and the rest was a mix of other guest singers/comedians

Recommended: Yes

We have sailed Celebrity before and loved their ships. The Summit is a different category, so it was less aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Also, the food on the top deck was boring-most days the same things were offered, and the variety was poor. Dining and stateroom service was excellent. We had a balcony, and the shower was huge by cruise ship standards.

Wonderful

January

Pros: Smaller ship, staff is very friendly and professional. Been on Summit many times always a great vacation!

Cons: Older ship that has some minor issues

Recommended: Yes

Would book on Summit again and again we love it so much.

A Stupendous Delight Plus...

November

Pros: The entire staff was warm and welcoming with such a pleasant manner at every level of service

Cons: Absolutely None!!! Well, maybe the taxi service doubled my fare as I was told by another couple once we had departed for the airport to leave!

Recommended: Yes

What a trip! I could find many nooks on the ship to find peace and solitude or be in the middle of a hub of excitement and always felt such contentment with any mood experience I sought at the time. I always felt about cruising there would be too many crowds and commotion to withstand but, in fact, I found it quite the opposite and I could be as busy as I wanted to be or not for my maiden voyage! The ship's decor, amenities, food, wine, clubs, pubs, entertainment and excursions were all outstanding as were the entire staff aboard and the people I met there and afar in all the local ports of call! I met so many nice people and now have new traveling companions; we met onboard and signed up for another Celebrity Summit cruise again!

new england/canada

September

Pros: service, food, personnel

Cons: none

Recommended: Yes

wonderful trip

Enjoyable location

August

Pros: Bermuda was enjoyable port to visit

Cons: Older ship

Recommended: Yes

Everything was nice and staff was very polite. Alot of variety in meal/food choices. Unfortunately, had some strong sewage smells through out ship at times, especially while in port. Entertainment could be improved - dancers not as stellar as other cruise lines/ships.

August

Pros: My agent takes care of all details allowing you to relax and enjoy your vacation

Cons: Waiters are not as attentive as previously since tip included

Recommended: No

Bermuda cruise

July

Pros: Best entertainment

Cons: Buffet is lacking in food choices, beverages rarely there. Hot coffee cold after breakfast

Recommended: Yes

Beverage packages were pushed like no other ship with bar staff latterly following you around the deck trying every angle to sell a package. The add of twenty-four hour beverages at the buffet is very inaccurate.

This Makeover was a hit!

May

Pros: Ship was beautiful. Well taken care of, great good, and friendly and attentive staff

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

This ship was in dry-dock in February of this year. As a result, it's looking new and not warn or tired. Added a new rooftop lounge, which is very nice a good weather. The specialty restaurants were great. Tried both Tuscan Grill, a traditional steak house, as well as Qsine. The latter offers a twist on traditional foods and is a culinary adventure. It was lots of fun! The ship's captain is a woman, Captain Kate. She is visible and very personable. Loved our Concierge class. Very attentive service and nice perks along the way.

Great for first time cruising!

May

Pros: Lots of activities to participate in, friendly and helpful staff.

Cons: Lots of activities (smile)

Celebrity Cruise - Suite Guest

April

Pros: Excellent Service and Superior Accommodations

Cons:

Recommended: Yes

The Persian Garden Retreat was wonderful and well-worth the additional cost for the 6-day pass. Noteworthy was the Tuscan Grill --- for atmosphere, food and service. The Luminae, although less than 1 year old, continues to grow into its role as the specialty dining area for Suite Guests. The Michael's Club was a quiet retreat that could be used 24/7 and was appreciated.

CELEBRITY SUMMIT

February

Pros: Ship looked great, especially since it was being sent to dry dock after our cruise. Loved the free Clasdic drink package. Drinks, sodas, specialty coffees, and all the bottled water we could drink. Awesome. And loved the CI gift of onboard credit. Thank you. Staff aboard ship was very friendly and helpful. Entertainment was also very good.,

Cons: Food was good, especially in dining room, but buffet fell short in the variety of foods we are used to on other ships.

Recommended: Yes

Another great trip on the Celebrity Summit

February

Pros: Good food, good ports, good value for money paid

Cons: N/A

Recommended: Yes

The Celebrity Summit is not a new ship but it is clean and well kept. The entertainment was really good every night. Good singers and dancers as well as shows that were similar to Broadway style in New York. The food in the main dining room was excellent. The waiters were able to take requests to add or delete ingredients from most of the meals. There were a variety of tours to choose and they were well organized. In conclusion, the ship offers a good value for the price paid.

Needs TLC

January

Pros: Great staff

Cons: Rust and dirty glass everywhere

Recommended: Yes

Second time on this ship. Pet peeves: both soft serve ice cream machines were not working and if the ship is scheduling excursions around noon, please make sure the pool grill opens on time. Great house keeping staff.

Celebrity Summit

December

Pros: Dining/food/entire staff/ports

Cons: None what so ever

Recommended: Yes

We had a wonderful time. The staff couldn't have been more helpful or attentive to our needs in the Dining Room or our Cabin. Ricardo our waiter and his staff were great. After the first night they knew exactly the extras we liked. As in butter/rolls/lemonade and alot of water especially for Jeanette, he always had 3 glasses waiting for her. Francisco our cabin steward was great our room was always neat and fresh. Never missed a chocolate on our pillows at night. The ports were great. Don't have one negative thing to say as this was an absolutely great cruise. First time on Celebrity and would sail again with them.

Caribbean Cruise

October

Pros: Wonderful Cruise

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

We had a wonderful time and visisted a lot of Islands.

First time on Celebrity

October

Pros: Great time, people are very nice, ship had everything we needed to make us comfortable, the stewards (people who cleaned & took care of us) were wonderful & very helpful in getting us anything we needed or forgot. the excursions we terrific.

Cons: the food could have been a little better & portions maybe not so small.

wonderful trip

October

Pros: food, ports of call

Cons: occassional problems in deck 10 food areas with refills of utensils.

Great ports of call. Especially liked Sydney, Nova Scotia. Tours at each port were very good. The crew was unfailingly friendly and helpful. Great shows each night and the cruise director John was super.

In general

September

Pros: Facility,services including room services, foods, server's attitude,friendliness,etc

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

It was a wonderful experience for me to be a part of this cruise . Itinerary was well prepared & informed. Evening show was very much enjoyable,it was almost professional. This was my 8th cruises & one of the best. Thank you.

First large ship cruise

August

Pros: Great food, activities, friendly staff and plenty of quite spaces to be alone

Cons: Ship is ten years old although well maintained for it's age.

Recommended: Yes

Our 2-1/2 day stop was in Bermuda which had beautiful pink sand beaches. I saw nice neighborhoods with pastel painted houses. If there is poverty we did not see any. You can only rent scooters to get around the island but buses and water taxi are inexpensive and they also have taxis which are convenient but cost more. Recommend the sit down dining over the buffet unless you want a quick meal.

Celebrity Summit July 2015

July

Pros: Excellent food and service

Cons: Older ship, needs some paint etc. here and there.

Recommended: Yes

We had a great cruise. Love Celebrity. It's more for an older crowd, shows were a little corny, but good nonetheless. The food was excellent. I loved how the lunch buffet had something new and special every day (such as shot glasses full of desserts one day, and chocolate dipping fountain the next day), etc. Overall, we loved it and are planning to go again next year.

Bermuda cruise on Celebrity Summit

June

Pros: The ship and its crew/staff were outstanding!!

Cons: None

Recommended: Yes

Our cruise was wonderful. We celebrated Bill's birthday on this cruise. When I contacted Guest Relations to alert them of the occasion, they took the info and ran with it. They put a Happy Birthday sign on our stateroom door and placed a long stemmed red rose in our room. They delivered chocolate covered strawberries on the appropriate day and served a delicious birthday cake to all at our dining table accompanied by the appropriate birthday song. The trip itself was relaxing and fun. While in Bermuda, we took the Crystal Caves tour on the first day in port. We then got transportation passes and took ferries and buses all over Bermuda. We also visited the Swizzle Inn while traveling by bus from St. Georges back to Hamilton. Had a couple of pitchers of rum swizzles and terrific lunch. We then boarded another bus to Hamilton and then the ferry back to the dockyard. We totally enjoyed venturing out on our own to enjoy the local flavor of Bermuda.

Suites on Summit are Sweet to Bermuda

May

Pros: Suite was very comfortable with outstanding service by butler and room attendants. The new suite restaurant, Lumaine, is outstanding in every way. Eating their was liking visiting a small club restaurant with all food prepared to order and presented beautifully. Staff said they were trying for a Michelin star!

Cons: no cons - just a fantastic voyage.

Recommended: Yes

Celebrity Summit provided a wonderful vacation for my family and me in beautiful Bermuda. The ship has been well maintained and while smaller than the Solstice class seems much more accessible. The port was beautiful and easy to access. In summary, I plan to do this trip again within the next five years.

Ship review

Cons: Can't think of any.

Recommended: Yes

Had a great time on Celebrity and would recommend them to anyone - particularly to families with kids.

First cruise

Pros: Ports and staff

Cons: Over priced drink packages.

Recommended: Yes

This was our first cruise. The staff was wonderful. All our questions were patiently answered.

7 Day Southern Caribbean

December

Pros: Small ship feel - responsive service, large suite bathroom

Cons: Food has slipped a notch, not quite what it used to be except in Qsine

Recommended: Yes

Overall, the ship was in good shape, the beds were comfortable and everything in good condition, and the Sky Suite had a nice sized balcony and huge bathroom (by ship standards). We enjoyed the itinerary - the ports all had great beaches and the options for other activities as well. For us, traveling with a 4 year old, we probably would have preferred an "at sea" day around the middle of the trip - we ended up not seeing much in Antigua because we just needed to relax. The staff was very responsive (butler/room attendant were excellent), the main dining room staff was good, although the food in the Main Dining Room wasn't quite as good as we remembered from a prior Celebrity experience. It was a little meat heavy and not as much seafood as we expected, but there was always something appealing on the menu. Dining at the specialty restaurant Qsine was a terrific experience and I would highly recommend it - it was whimsical and by far the best food on the ship. The buffet is pretty much what you'd expect, and not really something we enjoy at home or at sea. There were not many appetizing options for food after 10pm (one night we decided to eat late). The coffee bar was terrific (and a great place for pastries and desserts), but it is the ONLY place on the ship to get espresso or espresso based drinks - so it is a bit of a wait if you want the dining room staff to get it for you, as they have to walk there to get it. We enjoyed the evening entertainment (singers/dancers/acrobats - and they were terrific at engaging my daughter when they would encounter her off stage), the comedian was a little lackluster. The captain was funnier than the comedian! We only used the kids club one day (the at sea day) but my daughter did enjoy it, and we liked that we had the option of leaving her there during late seating dinner (if we wanted to since kids club is open at no charge from 7 - 10pm). It would have been nicer if it stayed open until 10:30 since our evening dinner usually wasn't done until closer to 10:30 - but that is a minor detail and it is possible to pay an hourly fee for the children to stay past 10pm.

Catalano - Chapin Cruise

November

Pros: Captain was wonderful, cabin attendent Anthony was top notch. he helped me gratly with keeping me diabetes medine cool and ready for travel . His assistant Riste was great too. Never had a problem with the room.Ship was clean and always on time.

Cons: food was hit or miss. lobster was terrible,beef wellington was great.

Recommended: Yes

Shows were ok but not exceptional Costumes were a little worn and dated.

Noemi's Review of Celebrity Summit

November

Pros: Service & Staff were phenomenal, Aqua Class perks were great, Entertainers talented and very enjoyable. Had the best set of fellow passengers in the 6 cruises we've done.

Cons: Older ship, but was never an issue. The usual folks "saving" lounge chairs and never to be seen in hours, but when I inquired with a pool butler, he was more than willing to set items aside since he didn't "see them in quite a while" so it worked out.

Recommended: Yes

After cruising on a larger and smaller ships, we found the Summit to be "perfect" - not too crowded and easy to navigate your way around. The staff, service and menu in the Blu restaurant were top notch and we can't say enough about the high quality and standards provided to us. They all made us feel like family and helped the guests warm up to each other with both friendliness and professionalism. Very good service and food in the main dining room the one night we ate there. The buffet was also very good. The Aqua Spa Café was great - the good variety of healthy smoothies are covered under the Premium Beverage Pkg - made for the best wake-up call and mid-day snacks. Martini Bar was the bomb! Excellent menu, most made with Grey Goose Vodka. Showroom entertainment rivals many shows we've seen in Vegas! Very talented entertainers.

This was our first cruise and I had a number of reservations about it. My travel agent did everything he could to reassure me and prepare me for this trip. My greatest concern was the 7 day length of the trip for first timers. HIs advise was that for a first cruise 6 or 7 days allows you to become familiar with the culture and the ship and still gives you ample time to settle in and enjoy. He hit the nail on the head with that answer, it did take us a couple of days to become acclimated. That being said we enjoyed every minute of our cruise; the food was excellent, the entertainment was very good and above all the staff was AWESOME. Friendly, helpful and considerate. The level of service on the Summit was comparable to that of a 5 star resort. The itinerary of the Southern Caribbean cruise offered us a number of options to sightsee, shop, my wife's preference and to take part in many activities. The one thing that stood out to us was the number of people we met on the trip who had been on a number of cruises but on other lines and how impressed they were with the ship, the service and the food. We are now trying to find a time to take our next cruise.

Wonderful attentive staff, delicious food, spacious room and service. Lovely guests on board. My husband and I were tentative at first ,concerned about privacy and the ship being too crowed. I was pleasantly surprised however to discover that the ship had the perfect balance of "togetherness and privacy" and we desired. We can't wait to book our next cruise on Celebrity !!
