Beautiful landscapes - the land trip gets the best reviews on this combination package
September
Pros: Quiet staterooms, good stateroom service, good bar service
Cons: Food, except for one meal, is mediocre to average; security staff is rude
Recommended: Yes
The tour by Alaska Premier Tours from Fairbanks to Seward was outstanding. The cruise was merely average, but it is made up for by being in Alaska.

June
Pros: Staff was extremely attentive and pleasant.
Cons: None
Recommended: Yes
I can't say anything negative about the crew. I would like to point out that our waiter Numad was the best. He was extremely attentive and after one day knew my likes and dislikes! Couldn't have asked for better. I wasn't happy with the shows however, the young violin player was the best.

Great cruise!
May
Pros: Staff were wonderful, dining room food was delicious, buffet was quite varied and pretty good, our cabin was spacious and we loved having the veranda.
Cons: Music in the lounges was too loud early evenings. The production show was sub-par
Recommended: Yes
The ship has been refurbished and was really quite nice with just a few exceptions where we saw rust in our bathroom in our cabin and there was a foul odor at times in our bathroom. Our cabin steward, Wayan, was wonderful! The itinerary was very good. We saw many beautiful things right from our veranda! The music in the various lounges was too loud to allow for conversation in the early evenings. The specialty restaurants were really very good. I especially enjoyed Le Petit Chef for the entertainment value! The two negatives were: 1-The production show seemed inappropriate for families; the costumes were uninspired, and the dancing was minimal in quality. The one highlight were the aerialists. 2-The fishing excursion in Ketchikan was much less than advertised. The brochure and the Celebrity app were labeled "salmon fishing", and stated we could have our catch prepared to take home. However, when we arrived we were told king salmon were the only thing running, and the season wasn't open for them yet; and we were also told anything we might catch could not be prepared to take home because that service doesn't open until mid-June. We also spent a half hour standing in line and getting our fishing licenses, which could have been done before leaving the ship if we'd been informed. Further, the captain of the boat had no deck hand so things were very hectic. Altogether, this excursion was a total waste of money.

We had a wonderful experience on our first cruise. Everything was organized, from embarkation to debarkation. The ship was in good repair, clean, and comfortable. Our room Steward was impeccable with cleanliness. Our wait staff was superb for our dining experiences. We had fun while we enjoyed the entertainment experiences. We could not have asked for a better celebration for our 50th anniversary.

Wonderful Vacation
November
Pros: Smaller ship, less crowded and more laid-back
Cons: Simpler activities, Less for little children
Recommended: Yes
We had a very enjoyable trip with very little stress. There weren’t many sports activities such as on the big ships, but they did have a kids club and lots of planned activities for older ages and adults. The staff is extremely helpful and welcoming. We like the idea of the smaller ship as it was easy to find seats at any event.

October
Pros: Crew, Food
Cons: Ship needed a little paint touch up here and there
Recommended: Yes
We had a great time! The food and crew were great! We've always thought Celebrity Ships were the best looking overall ships at the Port and were surprised to see a few scattered rust spots and unkempt windows on the ship, our balcony, and a few other areas. Overall, the Cruise was great and we recommend this Cruise and the beautiful scenery on this trip.

April
Pros: Service and food in Luminae was superb. The Retreat Sun Deck was a great place to relax, read and have a cold drink.
Cons: No Crown Royal available on the ship. My premium beverage package didn’t do me much good.
Recommended: Yes
Overall this was a great cruise. We had an experienced waiter in Luminae but overall it seemed like it was a lot of new/trainee type employees. Not the personal touch that we’ve experienced on other Celebrity ships.

August
Pros: Staff were extremely hospitable.
Cons: Ship is geared towards an elderly population
Recommended: Yes
For the second year in a row we had a great time on the Summit. Loved the remodeling of the rooms and common areas. Our room attendant Seon was phenomenal as well as the dining crew Saudiasa, Christopher and Monwa. They catered to our every need and were very helpful. The buffet area becomes very crowded during peak hours but if you are willing to either go earlier or later for food then you'll be ok. This goes the same for the pool which is small as well but overall a great time and we would do it again!

January
Pros: Awesome crew and service
Cons: Internet was lousy. Big surprise.
Recommended: Yes
The crew, the wait staff and our cabin steward were amazing. I had heard that the ship was one of the oldest in the fleet and that it showed. It couldn't be further from the truth. Yes, there were multiple layers of paint on some of the fixtures (same as other ships). There were spots of rust (like on other ships) but the overall condition of the ship was just fine. Captain Kate was awesome. She even greeted everyone as they disembarked. Never had a captain do that before. The food in the main restaurant was good but not spectacular which seems to be pretty standard these days with specialty restaurants. Overall the experience was very good. Don't be afraid to take this ship. It was one of the best cruises I've been on.

We have sailed Celebrity before and loved their ships. The Summit is a different category, so it was less aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Also, the food on the top deck was boring-most days the same things were offered, and the variety was poor. Dining and stateroom service was excellent. We had a balcony, and the shower was huge by cruise ship standards.

A Stupendous Delight Plus...
November
Pros: The entire staff was warm and welcoming with such a pleasant manner at every level of service
Cons: Absolutely None!!! Well, maybe the taxi service doubled my fare as I was told by another couple once we had departed for the airport to leave!
Recommended: Yes
What a trip! I could find many nooks on the ship to find peace and solitude or be in the middle of a hub of excitement and always felt such contentment with any mood experience I sought at the time. I always felt about cruising there would be too many crowds and commotion to withstand but, in fact, I found it quite the opposite and I could be as busy as I wanted to be or not for my maiden voyage! The ship's decor, amenities, food, wine, clubs, pubs, entertainment and excursions were all outstanding as were the entire staff aboard and the people I met there and afar in all the local ports of call! I met so many nice people and now have new traveling companions; we met onboard and signed up for another Celebrity Summit cruise again!

Pros: Ship was beautiful. Well taken care of, great good, and friendly and attentive staff
Cons:
Recommended: Yes
This ship was in dry-dock in February of this year. As a result, it's looking new and not warn or tired. Added a new rooftop lounge, which is very nice a good weather. The specialty restaurants were great. Tried both Tuscan Grill, a traditional steak house, as well as Qsine. The latter offers a twist on traditional foods and is a culinary adventure. It was lots of fun! The ship's captain is a woman, Captain Kate. She is visible and very personable. Loved our Concierge class. Very attentive service and nice perks along the way.

The Persian Garden Retreat was wonderful and well-worth the additional cost for the 6-day pass. Noteworthy was the Tuscan Grill --- for atmosphere, food and service. The Luminae, although less than 1 year old, continues to grow into its role as the specialty dining area for Suite Guests. The Michael's Club was a quiet retreat that could be used 24/7 and was appreciated.

Cons: N/A

The Celebrity Summit is not a new ship but it is clean and well kept. The entertainment was really good every night. Good singers and dancers as well as shows that were similar to Broadway style in New York. The food in the main dining room was excellent. The waiters were able to take requests to add or delete ingredients from most of the meals. There were a variety of tours to choose and they were well organized. In conclusion, the ship offers a good value for the price paid.

After the first night they knew exactly the extras we liked. As in butter/rolls/lemonade and alot of water especially for Jeanette, he always had 3 glasses waiting for her. Francisco our cabin steward was great our room was always neat and fresh. Never missed a chocolate on our pillows at night. The ports were great. Don't have one negative thing to say as this was an absolutely great cruise. First time on Celebrity and would sail again with them.

First large ship cruise
August
Pros: Great food, activities, friendly staff and plenty of quite spaces to be alone
Cons: Ship is ten years old although well maintained for it's age.
Recommended: Yes
Our 2-1/2 day stop was in Bermuda which had beautiful pink sand beaches. I saw nice neighborhoods with pastel painted houses. If there is poverty we did not see any. You can only rent scooters to get around the island but buses and water taxi are inexpensive and they also have taxis which are convenient but cost more. Recommend the sit down dining over the buffet unless you want a quick meal.

Celebrity Summit July 2015
July
Pros: Excellent food and service
Cons: Older ship, needs some paint etc. here and there.
Recommended: Yes
We had a great cruise. Love Celebrity. It's more for an older crowd, shows were a little corny, but good nonetheless. The food was excellent. I loved how the lunch buffet had something new and special every day (such as shot glasses full of desserts one day, and chocolate dipping fountain the next day), etc. Overall, we loved it and are planning to go again next year.

Bermuda cruise on Celebrity Summit
June
Pros: The ship and its crew/staff were outstanding!!
Cons: None
Recommended: Yes
Our cruise was wonderful. We celebrated Bill's birthday on this cruise. When I contacted Guest Relations to alert them of the occasion, they took the info and ran with it. They put a Happy Birthday sign on our stateroom door and placed a long stemmed red rose in our room. They delivered chocolate covered strawberries on the appropriate day and served a delicious birthday cake to all at our dining table accompanied by the appropriate birthday song. The trip itself was relaxing and fun. While in Bermuda, we took the Crystal Caves tour on the first day in port. We then got transportation passes and took ferries and buses all over Bermuda. We also visited the Swizzle Inn while traveling by bus from St. Georges back to Hamilton. Had a couple of pitchers of rum swizzles and terrific lunch. We then boarded another bus to Hamilton and then the ferry back to the dockyard. We totally enjoyed venturing out on our own to enjoy the local flavor of Bermuda.

Suites on Summit are Sweet to Bermuda
May
Pros: Suite was very comfortable with outstanding service by butler and room attendants. The new suite restaurant, Lumaine, is outstanding in every way. Eating their was liking visiting a small club restaurant with all food prepared to order and presented beautifully. Staff said they were trying for a Michelin star!
Cons: no cons - just a fantastic voyage.
Recommended: Yes
Celebrity Summit provided a wonderful vacation for my family and me in beautiful Bermuda. The ship has been well maintained and while smaller than the Solstice class seems much more accessible. The port was beautiful and easy to access. In summary, I plan to do this trip again within the next five years.

7 Day Southern Caribbean
December
Pros: Small ship feel - responsive service, large suite bathroom
Cons: Food has slipped a notch, not quite what it used to be except in Qsine
Recommended: Yes
Overall, the ship was in good shape, the beds were comfortable and everything in good condition, and the Sky Suite had a nice sized balcony and huge bathroom (by ship standards). We enjoyed the itinerary - the ports all had great beaches and the options for other activities as well. For us, traveling with a 4 year old, we probably would have preferred an "at sea" day around the middle of the trip - we ended up not seeing much in Antigua because we just needed to relax. The staff was very responsive (butler/room attendant were excellent), the main dining room staff was good, although the food in the Main Dining Room wasn't quite as good as we remembered from a prior Celebrity experience. It was a little meat heavy and not as much seafood as we expected, but there was always something appealing on the menu. Dining at the specialty restaurant Qsine was a terrific experience and I would highly recommend it - it was whimsical and by far the best food on the ship. The buffet is pretty much what you'd expect, and not really something we enjoy at home or at sea. There were not many appetizing options for food after 10pm (one night we decided to eat late). The coffee bar was terrific (and a great place for pastries and desserts), but it is the ONLY place on the ship to get espresso or espresso based drinks - so it is a bit of a wait if you want the dining room staff to get it for you, as they have to walk there to get it. We enjoyed the evening entertainment (singers/dancers/acrobats - and they were terrific at engaging my daughter when they would encounter her off stage), the comedian was a little lackluster. The captain was funnier than the comedian! We only used the kids club one day (the at sea day) but my daughter did enjoy it, and we liked that we had the option of leaving her there during late seating dinner (if we wanted to since kids club is open at no charge from 7 - 10pm). It would have been nicer if it stayed open until 10:30 since our evening dinner usually wasn't done until closer to 10:30 - but that is a minor detail and it is possible to pay an hourly fee for the children to stay past 10pm.

Noemi's Review of Celebrity Summit
November
Pros: Service & Staff were phenomenal, Aqua Class perks were great, Entertainers talented and very enjoyable. Had the best set of fellow passengers in the 6 cruises we've done.
Cons: Older ship, but was never an issue. The usual folks "saving" lounge chairs and never to be seen in hours, but when I inquired with a pool butler, he was more than willing to set items aside since he didn't "see them in quite a while" so it worked out.
Recommended: Yes
After cruising on a larger and smaller ships, we found the Summit to be "perfect" - not too crowded and easy to navigate your way around. The staff, service and menu in the Blu restaurant were top notch and we can't say enough about the high quality and standards provided to us. They all made us feel like family and helped the guests warm up to each other with both friendliness and professionalism. Very good service and food in the main dining room the one night we ate there. The buffet was also very good. The Aqua Spa Café was great - the good variety of healthy smoothies are covered under the Premium Beverage Pkg - made for the best wake-up call and mid-day snacks. Martini Bar was the bomb! Excellent menu, most made with Grey Goose Vodka. Showroom entertainment rivals many shows we've seen in Vegas! Very talented entertainers.

Awesome first cruise experience
October
Pros: Staff, Food, Ship size, Ammenites,
Cons: Expensive and slow internet.
Recommended: Yes
This was our first cruise and I had a number of reservations about it. My travel agent did everything he could to reassure me and prepare me for this trip. My greatest concern was the 7 day length of the trip for first timers. HIs advise was that for a first cruise 6 or 7 days allows you to become familiar with the culture and the ship and still gives you ample time to settle in and enjoy. He hit the nail on the head with that answer, it did take us a couple of days to become acclimated. That being said we enjoyed every minute of our cruise; the food was excellent, the entertainment was very good and above all the staff was AWESOME. Friendly, helpful and considerate. The level of service on the Summit was comparable to that of a 5 star resort. The itinerary of the Southern Caribbean cruise offered us a number of options to sightsee, shop, my wife's preference and to take part in many activities. The one thing that stood out to us was the number of people we met on the trip who had been on a number of cruises but on other lines and how impressed they were with the ship, the service and the food. We are now trying to find a time to take our next cruise.

Wonderful attentive staff, delicious food, spacious room and service. Lovely guests on board. My husband and I were tentative at first ,concerned about privacy and the ship being too crowed. I was pleasantly surprised however to discover that the ship had the perfect balance of "togetherness and privacy" and we desired. We can't wait to book our next cruise on Celebrity !!
