Review summary

We wanted a short stay relaxing getaway and that's what we got. There is really nothing wrong with the Summit but I have enjoyed some of the other Celebrity ships better and next time would pick differently.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
easy and quick

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
one main dining room, and buffet - didn't go to a specialty one. Had dietary restrictions - buffet is better marked for that now. Main dining was accommodating to a certain degree. I submitted a form in advance so my expectation was higher.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
choices were not appealing. ping pong table was busy each time we tried. There wasn't a library/game room. Difficulty in finding a quiet nook to play the games we brought. I didn't like that yoga practice/group stretch was at a cost. Movie on the tv you had to pay for and channels to watch were limited without choices this time. I remember having a tv guide previously. We were unable to jump into and use the pickleball and the players using it were always too advanced for us. They didn't set up any beginner times.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We watched the Barbie movie. Enjoyed the variety shows the best. Left early for the singers one of them was better than the other.

Children's Programs

no children with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
amazing service from room steward to wait staff. They were all so personable and friendly. Everyone behaved like they are happy working there and having a good time.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was clean and I saw some sanitation going on which was nice. The main staircase and open area wasn't as "glammed" up as I thought it would be for a celebrity ship. I would not choose Summit ship again. It was smaller than the others I have been on. It did not have a library/game room and quiet nooks to hang out and read or talk were limited.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The room was so pretty. It was a good size and arranged well. Lots of storage. Clean and well kept.

Ship tip

Bring some games/book with you in case you don't like the planned activities and aren't a pool person.

Ports of call

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
It was cloudy and drizzly so we didn't go to the beach we planned to walk to. We just got off and walked around a bit. People trying to sell to you were mildly pushy. Mostly stayed on the ship. We were going to walk to Cabbage beach and take our own snorkel gear but it was too cloudy for a good beach snorkel.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Cloudy again but our excursion around cozumel was a good one. I don't care so much for Cozumel and this was our 2nd visit there.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy. We chose to get off later than most. Taxi ride was the same cost as the celebrity shuttle but quicker.
