Review summary

The Celebrity Summit delivered just what we needed for our first cruise back.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Smooth and quick. No line at security checkpoint. Brief wait to get checked-in, then to the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We dined in Blu mostly. All meals were very good to excellent. Service is excellent at all eating venues.

Cafe al Bacio and Gelateria

5 out of 5

Great for a small treat and/or a specialty coffee after a show.

Blu

4 out of 5

On the first night we had an appetizer with two pieces. One was delicious but the other one wasn't good. Not sure what the problem was but this was the main reason I couldn't give five stars...this time. Service is excellent at Blu.

Sushi on Five

5 out of 5

Excellent service and food.

The Spa Café

5 out of 5

Great place to get a light lunch while enjoying the Solarium.

Cellar Masters

4 out of 5

Service was a little slow. We enjoyed the talented string duet (violin and guitar) playing in the evenings when we stopped in before dinner.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Solarium

5 out of 5

Quiet relaxation.

Canyon Ranch Spa

5 out of 5

Wife enjoyed her spa treatment.

Guest Relations And Excursions

5 out of 5

We had an issue. We were entitled to 10% off a spa treatment. First problem was that we were charged the full price and discounted price. Guest relations contacted the spa manager and this was resolved...Except they removed the discounted entry. Another quick trip to guest relations and this was also corrected. I'm not concerned that there were issues, 5 stars because they fixed the issues.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

All the performers are very talented I found them all enjoyable.

Persian Garden

5 out of 5

I enjoyed Persian Gardens, my wife not so much because it's just not what she prefers. 5 stars from me, very relaxing.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All staff were friendly, competent and helpful.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Love Aqua Class. We've been Aqua Class 1 on Summit. This was Aqua Class 2. Bathroom and shower are tight. Enough storage for us. Ida did a great job keeping the room clean.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5

Port is under construction, when all done I'm sure it will be more pleasant. We did the new Margaritaville resort for the day. Walking distance (about 1 mile) from pier entrance but it took us 10 minutes to get to the pier entrance! Yes, you run a gauntlet of street vendors but I don't mind this as much as some others do.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5

We've been to Cozumel several times and have enjoyed it every time. This time we went to Iberostar all inclusive for the day. Taxis to and from are ready. $25 each way plus tip.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

Quick and efficient, facial recognition technology used by Customs at this port helped keep everything moving along. Ground transportation is just a few yards from exiting the building.
