Food in the buffet was best we ever had on a cruise, which says a lot after 50+ cruises. Food in specialty restaurants and room service ordered from the dining room were amazing as well.

Cons: Last breakfast-guy at previous egg benedict station took 45 min. to make an omlet and there were may be 7 people in line. The ship itself was nice. Enough of lounge chairs through out different sections of the ship. If you wanted to find quite place to relax, it was easy to find it. I didn't eat much of the lunch menu as we were off at all of our destinations. Dinner was always enjoyable. Breakfast was good. It had a lot of options but they were the same every day. I would wish to see potatoes to be prepared in a different way from day to day and smoothies would have been a very nice addition to the whole breakfast menu. Fitness center was very nice. It would have been nice to have pool table on board and more ping pong tables. Overall, it was great. Ship Details: Ship Quality The ship itself was nice, clean, fairly easy to navigate around. Public restrooms were top of the line. Dining/Food Overall quality of food was good. At times, some ot the things were a little on the salty side. Their beef dishes as stake, fillet mignon and ect. were the best !!! Sea food was pretty good as well. I didn't try any chicken dishes as I eat a lot of chicken at home and there wanted to try something different. Salad bar was pretty good as well. The only thing I missed was avacado but I think its probably not cost effective for them. Same with fruits and berries wider variety would have been nice but its probably not cost effective. Yet, watermelon, pineapple, bananna, apple, pear were ripe and great tasting. Soups were hit and miss. Some were very good and others like lentil soup with turkey ham not so good (and I wasn't not the only one who felt this way). I would like to see a station with fresh fruit smoothies, this would prevent fruits from going bad and at the same time provide healthy, tasty drink for guests. Breakfast buffet-needs to be changed from day to day. Stateroom Quality Condition of the room was clean and overall good. The only negative thing was we had oceanview room and the window on the outside seemed like it was never washed but its probably impossible to do. Beds were not the top notch but for ship it was good. Ship Staff Quality The person who cleaned our room, Johnston, was the best!!! He always greeted us with smile. Very friendly, kind, joyful person. We really enjoyed his service. If he saw us walking to our room, he would open our door for us and welcome us in. The room was always clean and stocked up, Thank you so much Johnston, you made our stay top notch. Concierge desk-always pleasant, very helpful, answered all of our questions. Entertainment & Activities Entertainment was nice. I enjoyed everything but Matilda show which I thought was lame but it could have been just me. I loved the pianist, guitarist, orchestra, Katya and Dima's acrobatic/ballet presentation, dancers, Alehandro-cruise director, was very entertaining. 6 out of 6 people found this review helpful.

Especially liked the attention by our stateroom attendant...Bart. Also felt like family to several other crew members as the week went along...Jallena, Colin, Nickola, and Mauricio. We used the back deck to relax and eat at a lot...those gentlemen did a great job keeping us in 'cruise mode'. The evening shows were superb! Especially the comedian.

When the ship is on port, there is not too much to do unless going for shore excursions. The Persian Garden in the spa is so small in compare to other cruise ship's paid spa. It's not worth paying money for it. Ship Details: Ship Quality Ship size is smaller and condition of the public areas are well maintained even though the ship is older and built in 2001. The ship is clean and decor are adequate. Dining/Food The quality of food in the Cosmopolitan Restaurant (main dining room) is good with the exception of soup (too salty), fish (over-cooked), and prime rib (tough to chew). I am so surprised that the buffet restaurant did not serve dinner buffet. It only has Sushi, stir fry, grilled meat/fish, pasta and pizza. Almost most of the passengers need to eat in the main dining room. The service in the main dining room is very slow. It took 2+ hours to finish dinner spending most of time waiting for foods to be served. The buffet restaurant's breakfast and lunch almost have the same things every day. The burgers stand closed at 6:30 pm. It is quite a surprise too. Breakfast in the buffet restaurant closed at 8:30 am on the last day of cruise. Main dining room breakfast closed at 8 am. In compare to other cruise line's restaurant hours, Celebrity is much worse than I expected. You can get up a bit late due to disembarking time is later and can't find any food to eat. Stateroom Quality Overall, the stateroom is OK with the exception of the bathroom. It is almost no storage space. You can only put your tooth brushes and paste in the bathroom. Other stuffs have to be store outside of the bathroom. Ship Staff Quality Ship staffs are not that friendly at all. Some of them won't even greet you when they meet you face-to-face. Since we have select dining, we have different waiter/waitress every night. Some of the waiter/waitress even ignore or forgot your request. I had cruise with 12 other cruise ships with different cruise line. This is the first time that I have crew staffs with such services. Entertainment & Activities The comedian is excellent. Other production shows and musicals are good. Other variety shows are good too. Children's Programs The kids program are good with different variety of activities. My younger child enjoys the program so much that he spent more of the time in the kid's room. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

At first they where not friendly but the next day they seemed fine. I feel that it's due to being overworked due to staffing. The ship was a good size, and so were the rooms. Really enjoyed the cruise director, the entertainment, and variety of bars. Ship Details: Ship Quality Very clean and tidy. Dining/Food Qsine was an amazing experience. It cost extra but it's worth it. Best restaurant my husband and I have been to. Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Last month we cruise the Summit again to the Caribbean, we had a outside cabin with a big window and the cabin is nice size, we feel comfortable except going to the bathroom, we smell sewage while we are using the bathroom, we reported to the steward and the plumber came, they did not know where the smell come from, they came three times during the week, but can not solve the problem.

We will never sail on this ship or line again. It was the first cruise on Celebrity, having sailed numerous times on Royal Caribbean and Holland America. Ship Details: Ship Quality Dining/Food The food quality was very poor. Over cooked, cold, monotonous, even lobster night was a big dissapointment. It was so tough I could hardly eat. One person in our party ask for a second one and was ignored, and rushed. On ordering coffee after our main course, it did not come until dessert was finished and then it was cold. This happened routinely. Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities Main entertainment was the Celebrity dancers and singers nearly every night with the same routines in different costumes. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful.
