Summit sommelier

Does anyone know who the current chief sommelier is on the Summit?

Not sure, but the Engrid was the sommelier in Luminae this last cruise to NE?Canada and she was excellent! :)

Having travelled at least once per year since 2011, I would say that there are no actual official sommeliers on Celebrity ships. Please tell me I am wrong. Look for the silver tasting cups around their necks.

I had a fabulous sommelier in 2011 but have not see one since.

What do you see?

We have seen both. Just because they don't wear the cups doesn't mean they are not "official." I think that the number of sommeliers have been cut back on the ships (cost savings) and just don't have the time to suggest, take orders, serve AND do the tastings. :D

Fernando was working in Blu on Oct.2 New England cruise fantastic service, great wine tasting he hosted with 140 guests. Great knowledge of wine and food pairings. Your glass will always be full.

You are definitely wrong...Eren was the main sommelier for the ship for the past couple years( 2014/2015) and we have known him since 2012 and we became friends, but I lost his email address when my laptop committed suicide. I was hoping he would be there again in November this year...

We had Eren twice, once on Summit in September last year and then again on Eclipse in March of this year, he had just transferred ships. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. I don't know where he is now.

We absolutely adored Fernando the sommelier in Blu; Canada/ New England Cruise on Summit Sept. 18,2016. We miss you Fernando, thank you so much for your knowledgeable service.

We also had him when we dined in Blu a couple of our evenings. So enthusiastic! He was telling us of the wine tasting event and he really made you feel you wanted to go. :D Since we are not huge drinkers, we did not sign up.
