Rare Jim_Iain Posted February 20, 2019 Author #103 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I believe that the Revolution of Summit to be very similar to Millennium. At least I haven't read of anything different. If the same they will be updating the bath's, interior of all cabins and repainting the exterior to the Blue Hull color scheme. They also are recarpeting the ship, redoing the main dining room, martini bar and public areas. Pictures on the Millennium will give you a general idea of what we are expecting. If same as Millennium they will be adding 13 Aqua Class cabins where the starboard Spa is, reconfigure the locker rooms (making them smaller). They will also be removing the Library and replacing with inside cabins. They will also be adding 3 inside cabins on deck 6 were Acupuncture clinic was. Relocate Internet Cafe to lobby and replace with inside cabins. Below pdf file has addition highlighted under Summit in Pink 12030112_CEL_FleetGuide.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the updates, especially the colors! 6 hours ago, goldsmip115 said: Having stayed in that suite before some of the renderings do not make sense unless they gutted everything. Looks like a total absence of any drawer space anywhere and that open closet looks just precious. And, oh, where is that magnificent butlers pantry with the full sized refrigerator? Perhaps replaced by a genuine Kelly water cooler surrounded by 100 plush pillows. Also concerned that the second full bath will remain. The whole thing looks so sterile. And, all those white chair cushions? What a nightmare to keep clean. Sorry to be so negative, but it is very frustrating to spend big bucks for 19 nights in the suite and only see renderings that so far have been so incorrect. From what has been posted - that is exactly what was done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following the Millie's current sailing and hoping soon to see photos of a post-Revolution Celebrity Suite. As far as dining it's such a personal taste thing. We love Luminae--more than any specialty restaurant--although we often order appetizers from the MDR menu. Guess we don't cruise often enough to tire of it yet. No, we are on the Barbados / Grenada cruise. Have never been to either Grenada or Dominica! But they changed from Tortola sadly, to St Thomas which we’ve been to many times. Darn. Why do the ships do that, I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the same itinerary in February 2020 and only recently found out about the itinerary change. Ironically, nearly ALL the excursions listed for sale in "St. Thomas" on the Celebrity website actually show Tortola excursions. (Virgin Gorda and the Baths, Snorkeling at Norman Island...) We're not disappointed because we really like taking the ferry over to St. John, which we'll do again this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sara Hmmmm...I reserved for February 2020 and did so at the old price of $45. Would not have reserved at $60!! YIKES! I'll be happy with either version of Qsine, but am super curious to know which it will be!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mommy Posted February 20, 2019 #112 Share Posted February 20, 2019 We have booked 14th January 2020. The last time we were on Summit was in 2007 to Hawaii. I expect we are going to see many changes. We usually book Concierge class but the up-grade charge is too high at around £300 pp I will have a look at the Millennium photographs for guidance on what the new look is likely to be. We were on Milly in 2015 so have not seen the make-over. Thank you for this thread - it will be great to watch the transformation prior to our cruise.

We have am aft Aqua b2b on the Summit in November and I'm really not happy about having less privacy on our veranda without the canopy. Even if we had a different cabin we're going to miss having tables in the shade at the Sunset Bar. This will be my retirement cruise. Woohoo!!! Woo Hoo!!! You will love retirement!

Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted February 20, 2019 #116 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Well, if those renderings or whatever they are of the penthouse are accurate, I predict lots of cancellations. At least from folks who know better and have sailed in those PHs before. Looks like no storage in MBR which used to have more storage than one could figure out how to use. I get that Ms. Hoppen is anti-drawer, but that doesn't mean the rest of the world is. A bench at the DR table??? First of all, it does not appear to be close enough to the table to be able to dine comfortably. My guess would be that the table would be too heavy to move. The chairs are ugly and look uncomfortable. Also, people who book the PH entertain. In my experience, it has been very useful for all to be able to walk all around the table when setting out food and drink buffet style.

Plus, if you look at the youtube video of Millennium below it appears the PH also lost the large tables that were on the balcony. I believe most PH occupants have breakfast/lunch at that table.

clskinsfan Posted February 20, 2019 #119 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I am on the Summit in January of next year. Hitting a couple of islands we have never been too. Very excited for the trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olive1950 Posted February 20, 2019 #120 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I've got 4 PHs booked on Summit, and I am NOT pleased with what I'm seeing. No one seems to know if the Butler's Pantry will survive. That table is butt ugly. The color scheme, or lack thereof, is awful. Kelly Hoppen sold Celebrity a bill of goods. She is laughing all the way to the bank. My dreams of achieving Zenith status are quickly fading. I don't think I could sleep in those DRAB surroundings. I'll let you know as I release my penthouses so anyone interested can jump on them.... VERY disappointing for me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally love the new look and prefer it to the dark wood look of 20 years ago. We all have our own preferences. While no one has answered your question of the Pantry I can only assume it is still there because it still shows on the footprint of the room plan. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you seeing that? I see a large rectangular table on each balcony. Looks like they could accommodate 6-8 chairs each. The tables that were there before were round and could accommodate 6 chairs, but really only 4 for eating comfortably without crowding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the bedroom rendering again you'll see that while they have removed the big cabinets on either side of the bed, they have redone the closet so that there are shelves. It was just a hanging closet before with one long shelf above. Also, this rendering is not showing anything of the closet/dressing area between the bedroom and bathroom. So I'm sure there is still plenty of storage left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
