Which I posted it in the Pullmantur forum, someone responded with two of the four are fairly updated and two are not, I’m curious which of the two aren’t.
Oh I didn't even think to check the Pullmantur board! Good catch. As others have stated, Infinity and Constellation haven't been upgraded yet, I would tend to agree that those would be the ones to move to Pullmantur

Saw this linked on FB. Can't vouch for the veracity of the site, since I can't say I've ever seen it before. I also haven't heard of any other cruise ships referred to a "Millennium Class" other than the current Celebrity ships.
Thoughts??

I have to ask....where does your husband get those suits?! In particular the $100 bill one and the one with the flamingos. My wife would never let me where that, which just makes me want to get one even more....maybe sneak one on as a surprise on our next cruise 😂

On another note...my wife says all the time that she wants to bring a trunk. SMH
I once saw someone bring 2 trunks on the Celebrity Summit out of Cape Liberty....though I'm guessing those people drove to the port instead of flying.

Empress has a Coffee Shop near the entrance within Boleros.
I had read somewhere that if you buy a coffee at the coffee shop that there's pastries available as well....it looks like there's a spot to keep them there on the counter. I can't really tell from the photo if there's actually anything in the case. If you get a chance, can you confirm that they've still got the pastries?

If the suitcase has a zipper, you can get in and out if it in a matter of seconds using a ballpoint pen. The bag can be rezipped so there would be no evidence of tampering.The strongest lock or zip tie in the world would not prevent this.
Posting URL to demonstrate.
Well on the plus side of this....one time I left the keys for the luggage locks at home and didnt realize until we were on the ship. (needless to say DW was not too happy). I quickly started Googling and came across a video similar to this and I was able to get in our bags.
So if you ever forget the keys, this is something useful to know 😂

What type of bees produce milk instead of honey? Lessons learned while enjoying a drink at the Schooner Bar.
Obviously the best kind of bees! Boo bees 😂

I've stayed on Deck 2 multiple times on Summit. I've never had issues with noise from below. There was one time where the AC unit for the room was kinda loud, but that shouldn't be an issue since the Revolution updates.

Oh I remember this one! I actually did a little fiddling in Acrobat and got it to bring like a little booklet on 1 sheet of paper. My wife then carried it around with her during our cruise to check off the drinks she'd tried.

The only person I mentioned the cruise to was the wife and she definitely didn't book it. So I have no idea who bought me the gift lol

I posted about a month ago that Celebrity has wife and I booked on something for two days in 2039. It’s still on my account with 7205 days until the cruise.. I just put it down as part of their horrible IT.
Well for all those people that complain about how long it takes X to release new itins, sounds like that got 2039 covered haha

Wow, first I've heard of that occurring! Does it show that payment has been made? Very odd, keep us posted on the developments.
It doesn't show that anything's been paid, but it also doesn't show a balance to pay....

I've had something weird happen, not sure if this has happened to anyone else (especially with Celebrity's IT track record 🙄)
The other day I was checking on the price of cruise on the Summit, (October 20 - reposition to San Juan from NJ). I didn't place a courtesy hold or enter any billing information since I just wanted to check the price and then see how much vacation time I had left.
Well yesterday afternoon I got an email from Celebrity with my reservation confirmation, including a booking #. This morning I got another email saying "Thank you from LLP for booking". When I log in to my Celebrity account it shows the cruise and it let's me browse for packages and shore excursions. It looks like a legit booking.
I've checking all my credit cards and bank accounts and there's no charges (pending or otherwise).
Has anyone else ever had this happen? While I'd love to believe that I just got a free cruise, I got a feeling someone will catch on when there's no payment....

That really is comforting to hear!!! Did you have any issues with noise / roaring from engine or mechanism, etc?
We are not people that spend alot of time in our rooms, except to sleep and get ready and we are usually up and out of our rooms by 8 am. As for the connecting cabin, that won't be an issue for us because it is the other couple that we are travelling with that will be occupying the adjoining room. So all good there!!
Just trying to ease our worries about being on deck 2. Thanks again!!
In 2137 we did have a small issue with the AC, it was really loud. Stateroom attendant banged on it a couple times and that seemed to have fixed it lol. Being in the engineering field, that’s what we professionals call a “manual calibration” haha
Other than that, never any discernible noise/vibration from the engines or ships equipment. We did notice that it was extremely steady down there when sailing. There was one day that my wife and I were in the room for a bit reading/napping. We barely noticed any movement of the ship. We got on the elevator to go up to the buffet and a woman on the elevator was comparing about how much the ship was moving. My wife and I exchanged bemused glances until we were actually up the buffet and you could definitely feel the ship moving.
Overall, I think you’ll be fine! We enjoyed the cabins on deck 2. Pricing was great too, so we’ll definitely sail in those cabins again!!

I haven't stayed in this particular cabin, but I have stayed in 2188 (roughly same location on opposite side) and 2137 (same side, closer to mid-ship elevators). No major issues being on deck 2. It's great for when you're coming back on board after being in port, just walk up a flight of stairs to get back to your room. 2188 was a connecting cabin, I was impressed with how quiet it was with having a neighbor next door.

FWIW traveled on the Summit in January with my DW and some friends. One of our friends wore dressy shorts into the MDR one evening. He was promptly stopped at the entrance and asked to change. Though, reading some of the other comments it seems like there's a possibility that some times it gets overlooked.

There's the form that someone posted, however I just sent an email to special_needs@celebrity.com with my sail date and Booking # saying that I needed distilled water and an extension cord for a CPAP. I got an email a few days later saying that it would be all set. When I got on the ship, the distilled water and extension cord where there waiting for me.

Singapore Sling! I'm not a big gin person, but it really doesn't have that "gin" flavor. When made well, they go down reeeaaall easy ;)

Summit
Cabin: 2137
Deck: 2
Class: OV
Area/Location: Midship
Bed Location / View: Near bathroom, faces towards wall.
Quiet? Yes
Balcony/Porthole View: Excellent
Balcony/Porthole Size: Standard Porthole
Wind a Problem? N/A
Soot a Problem? N/A
Problems / Comments: Good stateroom located near the midship glass elevators. Far enough away from the stairs and elevators to not hear noise. However, there is a "white space" on the deck plan near the cabin. It's apparently an area where when the gangway could be located if there's a high pier. On my cruise to Bermuda, the gangway was on deck 1 so this was not an issue for us. Bathroom had a bit of a sewage smell that we also smelled on deck 1, not horrendously bad, but slightly noticeable on certain days/times (not sure of the pattern). AC was also kind of loud. There was a banging noise when it was on, informed the steward, something was done because it definitely got quieter but still there. Best I can describe it, it sounded like when the ship is moving and things tend to creak, except it still made that noise when were were docked in Bermuda for 3 days. Overall decent cabin, looked in good shape for it's age.

Doing a charter on Summit , premium says 48.75 per day for total of 575 for us 5 day cruise, is this a decent price
They've got a sale going on so that's pretty good. Normal price is 65 per day for premium :cool:

Take the swimwear! For our honeymoon 2 years back on the first week of September in Alaska DW and I used the indoor pool and hot tubs. Well worth it for the minimal extra couple of clothes in the luggage.

Thanks for the review! I'll be on the Summit in a couple of weeks to Bermuda. First sailed on her a couple years ago, I was worried about going on an older/smaller ship, but Summit proved me wrong. She's becoming a favorite of mine.

Per my son who works in web security, just be sure you post to friends only, and ask them not to reply or share until you are back home - you don't want to leave clues that no one is at home.
Definitely good reminders! I'm in a tech field myself, so I keep everything locked down :)

Celebrity Summit. Looking for ocean view. Is deck 2 or 3 any good
in Celebrity Cruises
Posted
I've stayed in Oceanview cabins on both decks before. No issues being on those decks from my perspective. One positive is that on port days, if you're on deck 2 or 3 you can usually skip the elevator when coming back to the ship and just walk up the stairs. Very helpful when there's a crush of people coming back at the same time as you.
There are a few Oceanview cabins on Deck 3 that have a larger porthole window than the rest. Cabins 3115-3127 on the port side & 3112-3144 on the starboard side. These rooms were once public space that was converted to cabins, which is why they have the larger windows.
