Review summary

This was a flawless cruise, hands down. My big prayer is that the modifications to the Summit to make her closer like the Edge do not ruin the ambiance of the ship. The penthouse suite, as is is now, is a pure gem.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Really quite good, once they figured out we were ligitimate cruise guests

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We were in the penthouse suite, this time for the second time. So we dined mainly at Luminae. There were waiters there that remembered us from the previous cruise much earlier in 2018, including the Maitre Di.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Dining, dining, dining. Did not participate in much else, since we had the giant suite for ourselves.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Attentive as can be. If there was a problem, it would be solved. No questions asked.

Ship Quality

Love the ship, never feels crowded.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Penthouse Suite 6137 (same goes for 6138): This is one of the best suites in the industry. Huge living space, huge balcony, takes up half of the width of the entire ship. The living room includes a Yamaha C1 conservatory series grand piano, which is actually a good instrument, with a player setup. There are so many features of this suite that I really liked and enjoyed - the wooden parquet flooring in the living room is, simply speaking, elegant, the bathroom is fabulous and includes a whirlpool tub with a fantastic view. The butler service left us spoiled. There is a full sized fridge in the butler's pantry that magically keeps being stocked up, it has an ice maker as well. Closet space out the galore. This is the second time we had gone for a penthouse, so we obviously like it. This time we had cabin 6137, last time we had the other, 6138. These are really nice, and actually a bargain if you compare suites of similar size on other ships (I you can even find them).
