Absolutely perfect (so that it very likely ruined any future cruise by comparison); Go, now.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Cosmopolitan Restaurant
Our main dining room, 80% of our meals and a 100% of the best meals (breakfast lunch and especially dinners) of the top 5 I ever had on a cruise ship.Waiting staff (King and Luana in our case) and management made us feel like pampered family with excellent service and honest reviews (Oliver).I think 2-3 of the 10+ meals we had there would have - by themselves - cost us like the whole cruise in a less-fancy restaurant - and this by all means is an upscale establishment.
Oceanview Café
we only ate 3-4 meals at the buffet, but those were by far the best cruiseline buffet meals I've had; the breakfast variety, the authentic (minus the required hottness) Indian food, the fresh fruit and baked goodies and more.The location was also nice with full-view windows seat always available and highly attentive service.
Cafe al Bacio and Gelateria
Amazing gelatos, exquisite sweets and perfectly brewed cofees, often with soothing live music in the background.A great place to start the day and chilax in the evening.
Onboard Activities
Solarium
Our absolute delight from hours of rejuvenating in the bubbling salt water and relaxing in the hot jacuzzis at this beautiful (yet water-noisy) glass-enclosed space may be misleading, cause on a "normal" cruise this would have been a busy space in high demand.Even with some real-life time limits I believe we would have tried to spend as much time as possible enjoying it.
Guest Relations And Excursions
We didn't take a cruiseline excursion (our mistake, we should have taken the catamaran to the famous Cozumel reefs), but guest relations have been very accommodating and helpful throuhgout our stay.
Entertainment
The Theater
Great shows every night, even the stuff I don't usually cherish, led by the hilarious and legendary druise director Sue, in a magnificant theater, with comfortable seating and great seats always available, even last minute, on our low-capacity cruise.

Ship tip
Get on these Celebrity cruises, especially the Summit, NOW, while occupancy is still very low; this was the best cruise I've ever been on with under 20% occupancy, will probbaly never experience this level of availability and pampering, but celebrity always has great food and professional staff.
