Summit Review 12/11 - 12/18/10 with photos

[librarylady19]

This was a wonderful review and I loved looking at all your photos.

I can't believe Keith Cox was CD. He was the CD on my first cruise on Princess in 1991. I hope he stays on Summit until I get here in May. That would be fun.

 

Question about Normandie on the first night. Is that open to all passengers or was that only because you were in a Suite that you were offered dining there?

 

Thanks for taking time to do the review.

 

Normandie was open to all; we were offered the complimentary dining by virtue of being booked in a Suite. Do dine there if you can; it is well worth the $35pp charge!

HI Sandy,

 

Really enjoyed your review! It was a great way to spend my Sunday morning, drinking my tea and reading about your wonderful cruise!

 

Cheers,

[librarylady19]

Thanks. I enjoyed reading reviews and looking at photos so am glad that I can pass this on to others. I especially wanted to refute some of the very negative reviews of Summit that have been posted on CC. It was a wonderful ship with an amazing staff. I can't wait until it's Solsticized...with the addition of Qsine and AQ cabins it will be even better.

Sandi,

Thank you for the great review! My dd, mom and I are on the Summit for the first time in May going to Bermuda. I have been reading EVERYTHING I can to prepare for our trip. After seeing your photos I am looking forward to checking out the Cova Cafe!

 

Thanks again!

It was indeed so reassuring to read and enjoy your detailed review - less than five weeks til we board for the same itinerary. We are already thinking "same time, next year" so we can enjoy the Solsticized version, which should be not long out of dry dock in February 2012. Thank you for all the great details and photos!

Do you know if SS6145 is like SS6146 since it is on a corridor next to the other penthouse, I was wondering if it's as nice as yours was?

We're booked in that one for April.

Not to intrude, bur 6145 and 6146 are exactly the same.

Thanks Ed! How are you and Jacquie?

One of these days we'll cruise together again!

Hi Norma,

That's next on my list! There are uploaded to Webshots but I still have to edit them and add descriptions (before I forget what was what!).

Does anyone know if Maggie is still a sommelier on the Summit?

Thanks for you review & pictures

I met most of the Summit sommeliers doing the "Wines Around the World" event Jan. 14. I don't remember a Maggie.

Hi Susan, you just sailed Summit then? Hope you had a great cruise:)

I leave 2 weeks from tomorrow:D Did you happen to meet an Asst

Bar manager by the name of Gerald? He is from Jamaica.

Yep, I was on Summit Jan. 8-15. It was fantastic! You are going to have a great time.

 

I'll post a review soon, hopefully before you leave. I do have some photos (mostly ports but a few of Summit) up on Webshots, although I'm still working on captioning them (have to check my notes on the Tobago birds).

Nope, sorry.

Thanks for the great review and pictures. We plan to book Summit for January 28, 1012, so it was great to read about your trip. We did the Baltic this past summer on the Eclipse out of South Hampton. It was fantastic. Marlyne

Other than getting the rust off, what will they do? M

All the M class ships are going through a Solstization. They already

did Constellation.

Getting the rust off? This is much bigger than that. She will be out of

service for 3 weeks. New restaurants being added~Martini Bar being

moved and changed....

There is a link somewhere on here with all the items being done.

Sandi,

 

As a new cruise lover (been on 1, 2nd will be this May), your trip report was wonderful.

 

I'm planning on taking my first Celebrity cruise on the Summit. Right now I'm looking at the same itinerary you took, except I see they are discontinuing the Tobago stop and adding Charlotte Amalie at the end.

 

Hopefully I'll be on a sailing in March 2012 after the "solsticing" & in a Sky Suite.

 

Thanks again for all your hard work and effort
