I'm about to say something positive!  Those chairs in the OV Café don't look too bad.  I honestly can't recall if there were always different colored ones in different areas, but what a great idea!  "Don't forget, we're sitting in the yellow chairs" instead of wandering aimlessly looking for your party.

 

The white chairs with yellow cusions are my favorite. . .

What type of transportation did you use from the hotel to the ship?

Do you know if you can get closed caption on your television? Makes watching a movie so much better.

Radio,

It appears from your pictures (which I have been enjoying,  thank you) you are near the aft elevators.  We've been in aft C3 cabins recently but also like 7166 with the slanted balcony space.   I would do 2A with large balconies near aft elevators but DH is light sleeper. Are you hearing much elevators dings in your cabin?

Hi, I'm enjoying your review. I may book this ship for early Sept. So far, I have only sailed RC. I have a few questions if you don't mind. I'm guessing the OV Cafe is like Windjammer. Is there something similar to Cafe Promenade? I travel with my daughter, and we spent a lot of time playing trivia, etc in the Schooner bar. Is there a place like that on Summit? And pizza? Enjoy your vacation, and I'm looking forward to more posts!

There have been no "bings" or any noise heard from my cabin. . .

Radio,

Always love your live threads. Were you able to park in the garage or are they again, this summer, making the Summit passengers park out side in the overflow lot?

Thanks.

Thanks for the quick answer.  

We sailed twice from Bayonne last year.  May 13 and September 8 and both days were 55 degrees and rain.  I guess the pattern continues. This year we sail June 27.  Hoping for better weather.

Have a.great cruise.

On another review, the poster mentioned that the oceanview cafe no longer had pancakes, waffles, or made to order eggs on the breakfast buffet.  Is that correct?  Seems odd to me.  Thanks.  Enjoy the rest of your cruise.

Radio - Enjoying your review and your phots are great. Your cabin looks beautiful.  DH and I are will be getting on when you get off.

 

My 2 sistersand I did a sisters-only Bermuda cruise on the Summit 3 years ago and we loved the ship.

 

We are also doing a 14 day Canada/ New England cruise on the Summit in Sept. along with some family and friends.

That is not correct.  The items you mentioned are prepared in the Aft section of the Oceanview Cafe.

*Hello everyone and good evening. Today was a wonderful and relaxing day. It was our first day at sea yet things on board were very relaxed even though the weather outside wasn't popular with most passengers.

 

I was able to "watch news" and visit Fortunes Casino. I am happy to report that fortunes casino was very " Radio Friendly" after being on board for 24 hours I can say that I feel like I am getting my sea legs.

 

I had a wonderful dinner and the Cosmopolitan Restaurant. I had Steak Diane which was prepared perfectly. The waiters broth all passengers in the dining room a complimentary cocktail called "Elbow Bay"  I really like the new design of the Restaurant and I took a few images but I will take more during the day.

 

The Captain and Officers were announced again as part of the Evening Chic Soiree held on the first formal night at 7:45.

 

Here are a few images from today. . .

Radio — who is the captain?  Thank you.

Has been a few years since we have sailed the Summit and so really appreciating "seeing" her again through your review and pics.  Silly question for you about your cabin.....  It appears in the pics that you have an upper berth in your stateroom??  If so, is it just the angle of the pics or is the bed positioned somewhat "under" that berth???  I'm assuming it is just the angle, but I am quite curious as we have a cabin booked for our next cruise with the upper berth for our son and sure wouldn't want his bed down from the ceiling but partially over our bed!  Thank you in advance, and looking forward to following the rest of your review.

Radio,

 

Enjoying your review and photos very much.  I sail on June 27th and am looking forward to being onboard Summit once again.  Thanks for posting.

Maybe they were there during lunch or dinner and expecting those items?

 

Maybe their sense of timing when arriving at OVC was just after breakfast and thought they needed to be available for them.

 

Everyone would know if these, basic breakfast, items were discontinued...

 

bon appetite and bon voyage

Thanks for a great review. We appreciate the photos and video clips.

Summit  is looking  updated and refreshed. It was neded.

 

Can you check out  the Solarium cafe menu if you have time?

 

.We are sailing on Summit  next May to Newport,  Bermuda and Charleston.,.Hope this is not the usual May weather pattern....and hope things improve for your cruise

[Saphira7]

Loving your review, thanks for taking the time to do it! I will be in a 7a in January 2020, along with my mom, best friend, and our spouses.  We have cabins right in a row. I was wondering if you noticed if the balcony dividers can open up? Thanks, enjoy your cruise!!

Yes, there is a Pullman bunk over the bed, but it is over a portion of the bed. . . See photos below.

So enjoying following. Pictures are awsome. Radio wondering if at all possible you could get any pictures of the most forward cabin area on Deck 9. We have a a group of friends booking and some are considering the 9000 and 9001  (THE ONLY 2 OV ON DECK 9 next to balcony cabins) for our sailing. We have in the past always booked the most aft balcony cabins  and this time are considering these cabins on our sailing to try something different. We have never ventured  this far forward on the Summit and would love to see any pics of this area.  Only if this is possible and do not mind of course. We will be watching the Summit docked in Bermuda via webcam and hoping your weather will be Sunny and warm. Once again greetings and have a great relaxing day.
