Review summary

Norovirus was on previous cruise. Extra disinfectant precautions taken. Was on this cruise also. There were people sick with it. Squirted with hand sanitizer by crew in common areas. Up to you to use yourself from hand sanitizers all over the ship. Covid on cruise also. My husband tested positive when we returned. Fortunately vaccinated and boosted so mild case. We were careful. No buffet for this reason. Used the stairs to walk from deck to deck as much as possible. However crowed, packed elevators with people coughing were unavoidable at times. Celebrity should have put limit as to how many people are allowed in elevator. Yes, I know covid restrictions have been lifted. Yes, I know probably should have had mask on. That is my main recommendation…wear a mask especially in elevators.

Ship Quality

The Summit is not a mega large ship. Can’t really get lost on it. Areas were clean,

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Was a standard veranda cabin. Room attendant kept it clean. Towels replenished. Enough room in closet and drawers for clothes. Shower actually nice size for cruise ship. Empty suitcases were stored under the bed.

King's Wharf, Bermuda

5 out of 5
Can walk around area easily from the ship. Rained and rough seas first day there, boat shore excursion was cancelled. We toured the fort and had lunch there. A few pubs/restaurants can be walked to with free internet.

Charleston, South Carolina

5 out of 5
Too little time in Charleston. I don’t believe Celebrity is going back there on any cruises. Pity. Beautiful city. Can easily walk to everything from the pier.

Newport, Rhode Island

5 out of 5
An extra day would have been nice there. Are tendered. Can walk to shopping, pubs, restaurants from where tender drops you off.

Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts Did not visit port

Cancelled because of rough seas. Too rough for tenders to be used.

Disembarkation
