About us: This was our 8th cruise with Celebrity or RCI and our 2nd on the Summit. We cruise for the experience of cruising, fine dining and dancing, together with visiting the posts, makes a perfect vacation.

Embarkation: Smooth and easy but a little confusion when you first arrive as the line is not to get onto the ship but to check you luggage for the porters to take to your room. Have your tags on your luggage ahead of time as it will save you some time. No line up to get on the ship and it was around 3:00 pm. We received our welcome champagne and checked into our room and then checked out the ship. It is an easy ship to get familiar with and the staff are so friendly. The Waterfall Cafe is open if you need a treat.

Dining:It is a beautiful ship offering many options for dining. Dinners: We were at the fist sitting in the main dining room for supper. Formal nights were St Maartin and Barbados and all the other nights are Smart Casual. Enjoyed all the meals, especially the desserts. You have 2 menus to choose from, the daily menu that changes each day or the left side of the menu remains the same and is available every day. There is Casual Dining in the aft of the Waterfall Cafe offering the same menu all week and there is small charge to dine there. The buffets have a great variety of foods for breakfast, lunches and supper. Breakfasts: We went to the main dining room, the Waterfall Cafe, and had room service on 2 mornings. Lunch: We had lunches either at the Waterfall Cafe, the Lido deck, or the Aqua Spa Night Time Nibbles; usually found in different locations around the ship at 11:30pm plus there was a fruit buffet by the pool one night and a dessert buffet as well one night. Some ships have gotten away from offering this but the Summit is still going all out with ice sculptures and all.

Cabin Review

Room 8185 - Concierge Class

We always try to book an aft cabin as we enjoy the larger balcony. We had a small table with 2 chairs and 3 chaise lounges. We enjoy breakfast on our balcony.

It offers a great view and we love the sound of the wake.

We have not found it to be noisy from the motors and what not located at the back of the boat. We do not feel the motion of the boat any more then anywhere else in the boat.

Average closet and space - an aft cabin is our first choice for a cabin. I know on the newer ships all balconies are the same size and we have not stayed in one of those yet.
