ship design was okay but the ship was not well maintained and could use a facelift on the exterior and there was an apparent sewage issue on the lower decks
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
This cabin was affected by the sewage issue and the odors were terrible. We had to switch room as a result. No one should book cabin 2014. We booked only 30 days prior and at the time this was the best option, however, we had no idea there was a problem with this room ahead of time.
There were plenty of things to do in the immediate area. I was most impressed since our last cruise at this port several years ago lacked things to do.
The Summit Captian decided not to visit this port 48 hours prior due to choppy waters for tendering. What a huge disappointment! This was the primary reason picking this cruise but will not stop us from booking again at a later date.
Disembarkation was smooth until we boarded a charter to the airport. The bus driver left one of our luggage off the bus. Thankfully my husband noticed the luggage sitting there and informed the driver. But that was not the end of this experience. The driver was not familiar with the Newark airport terminal and a 15 minute ride to the airport ended up taking 90 minutes. The driver couldn't find the new Terminal A and ended up leaving the airport and going to NYC and making a u turn back to the Newark airport two times! The the second time, he got off at the wrong exit for the airport and proceeded to back up some 200 feet off the exit ramp back onto the highway!! Everyone on the bus were in fear for their safety. My suggestion, take an Uber to the airport.
