dcruisers Posted August 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Just got home from a wonderful week cruise (8/12-8/19) on the Summit. We sailed with 2 other couples and are all seasoned cruisers( approx. 30) We ALL loved the service, food and entertainment- and the ship is in very good condition for its age. After reading negative reviews- we were very pleasantly surprised! I certainly can understand why it’s voted #1 in the fleet. I will do a more complete review once I get settled unpacking, laundry etc. Back to reality😓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emptynest50 Posted August 20, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Just got off that same sailing and completely agree with you. I was a bit worried based on some of the negative posts I had seen but it was a wonderful, relaxing week. Yes, there are some places where the ship is showing her age but it didn't detract from our enjoyment. The most notable to me is that the crew members were always smiling and helpful.

funfamilytime Posted August 20, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 20, 2018 So glad to hear of your great cruise on the Summit. My Family is sailing on the Summit for the Christmas Cruise out of San Juan. This will be our fist time doing a Christmas Holiday Sailing. I have no idea what to expect. If anyone can give me some insight I would love it. The last time we were on Celebrity was the Constellation back in 2001 (I think). Thanks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeaBag Posted August 20, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 20, 2018 One of our best cruises ever was on the Summit. Looking forward to 2019 when we sail on her again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeRick Posted August 20, 2018 #13 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Glad to hear that the service is still very good on Summit. We loved her last fall for our Canada/NE cruise. We had Captain Alex. We were a bit worried when he and Captain Kate got reassigned but it sounds like you had an excellent cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We board the Summit in 48 days, This will be my first time in NYC. I am not the OP, but we cruised Summit with port Cape Liberty in July and have 3 other times. It has always been a breeze. Actually, disembarking is not in NYC, but in Bayonne, NJ. We just got a great deal for an Oct cruise and will doing her again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythbuster Posted August 30, 2018 #25 Share Posted August 30, 2018 was on the same cruise and couldn't agree more. read a lot of poor reviews on here but because of time constraints this was the only cruise that worked for us. glad I ignored the bad reviews because the boat was fantastic. crew was great. food was amazing. my only issue was that the week flew by way too fast. Also on the same cruise and agree with you and the OP, Summit is still a class act with service and food. At one point my wife and I were talking about whether the menu in front of the Luminae was for lunch or dinner. A crew member dusting the walls overheard us and called someone and quickly informed us that it was the lunch menu. He could have easily gone about his business without any interaction with us. When someone you expect provides good service it is great, when someone who is not normally providing service gives you good service it is amazing.
