How about anything about the summit ship. We have cruised rcl , carnival, and princess and really enjoyed all ships we were on. Cruising is about the best vacation for your buck...Any feed back would really be appreciated. thanks

If you would like more input about the summit, I would suggest posting on "Know Before you Go," since it will get more hits; I don't think as many people read these messages as often.
To get there, click on "forum list;" then click on "Know before you go."

I have never cruised Summit, and am cruising our first Celebrity ship in Jan (Constellation), but have heard all good things so far. What type of feedback have you heard, and where did you read it?
The reason I ask is b/c prior to our cruise on RCCL -Explorer, I read many very poor reviews on cruise reviews.com, and was worried about our choice. Keep in mind, my husband and I are pretty critical about service, cleanliness, amenities, and overall experience when it comes to spending $$, and our experience was PERFECT!! So, take them with a grain of salt. That's why I like this forum, b/c you are simply asking for opinions; on those "review" sites, that's where people will go when they want to complain b/c they had a bad experience that 1 out of thousands may experience (if that!).

Just my 2 cents...Good Luck!!

Go to "cruise reviews" on the menu bar at the top of the page and click on "read," then "specific ship," then select "Celebrity Summt" You'll see all kinds of reviews, but take each of them with a grain of salt. There are a lot of opinions, and you have to cull thru them for details with which to make up your mind. I have been on the sister ship, the Infinity, several times, and am going again in two weeks. As far as I am concerned, Celebrity does it right!

Just got off the Summit last Friday. I have mixed feelings about her. My 14th cruise and 2nd on Celebrity. Itinerary was great. Ship was clean. Cabin attendants were "okay". Guest relations were great. There was something just "not right" in the dining room, I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Maybe staff morale.
We are booked on Summit for Hawaii March 12 2006, and have had it booked for 14 months now, at about half the current rate available, not sure what to do.

We are on Galaxy Dec29 and I am actually looking forward to that more than Hawaii- not a good sign.

Like I said we had a great time, but something was just not quite right.

It always bothers me when someone gets excited about poor reviews. The old adage of people will complain but you never hear from those that are happy and satisfied. I think on the cruising boards it is more like "those that complain stand out." I would bet you can find 9 good reports on the ship for each poor one, and those poor ones usually yell the loudest. The ships would not be sailing full if they were not in great shape and providing a good experience for the passengers. Don't get too concerned about poor reports.

............and for Mortgage Chick, we have had the March 26th 06 Summit to Hawaii trip booked since early August of last year, 14 months now. I realize you sailed the ship and found something "off" in the dining room, BUT, for the prices we paid and Hawaii.......? It would be a shame if you don't take advantage of your ticket, I doubt we will ever see prices like we got again!

Thanks so much for responding to my post. And your upbeat response was just what I needed. We too , got such a great price 1399 pp with balcony, You couldnt go wrong. But never cruised that long so time will tell. You are a positive person and see the glass 1/2 full and i appreciated that . You have a great cruise to Hawaii and I will get back to you with all my positive comments on the ship. Thanks once again to take the time to respond to me...Debbie Smith
