CinWay Posted July 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Please forgive me if this information is here somewhere already - I've been searching for hours and cannot really find what I'm looking for. I read a couple of reviews that mentioned that things shut down around 11 pm. While my husband and I are not necessarily huge partiers, we do like to have the option of going to a dance club or bar until at least 1 am. Can any of you experienced folks give me your thoughts. Thanks so much. Cindy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much. Cindy Hi Cindy:) you will get varying opinions (just like everything else on here). Are you going on her to the Caribbean or Bermuda? I have sailed Summit 4 times and will be going again in September:D so I guess you could say I like the ship;) Evening events/bars/lounges/....depending on how busy the places are they will definitely stay open beyond 11:00pm or beyond midnight as well. They have the late show in the theater which normally starts at 9 (for early diners) and I know they usually have other things offered after that show is over. Whether it is the disco, Karaoke, or listening to the String Quartet in Cova, there are bars and lounges open beyond 11. And I know some folks say "Karaoke"??? Yes, they have it. I will watch sometimes and have a drink.....it can be fun. Now when you say a "Dance Club"? Summit has Revelations which would be considered the disco in the evenings. It is located all the way forward on the ship, upstairs. (above the pool). During the day they hold activites in there too. They sometimes have a DJ in there and sometimes there is other nighttime entertainment in there too......I know they held "Dancing with The Stripes" in there when I sailed her in Februrary. Once the show finished, the DJ played and people danced....can't remember when it cleared out....but I know the dancefloor had folks dancing. Hope this helps a bit:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinWay Posted July 14, 2011 Author #3 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Thanks for responding Lois. We have a deposit down for the southern caribbean in February '12. It is our first cruise and I'm excited to try it. We've previously gone the all-inclusive type trips and are looking for something different.

Oh, you are going on her after her "Solstization" takes place. They will have some new venues, but for you, it will all be new since you won't know any different;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still had a great time and love Celebrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cynbar Posted July 15, 2011 #6 Share Posted July 15, 2011 We also love Celebrity and will be sailing the Summit to Bermuda on the 24th. One thing I have noticed over the years is that every cruise has a different vibe, and it's hard to predict how lively a particular cruise will be. I do have to say that, overall, Celebrity is a quieter, more elegant and sedate cruise line than say NCL or RCi or even Princess. In our experience, there is not much going on late into the evening. Entertainment in our opinion is not a strong suit -- that doesn't mean it is non-existent, just more limited. For instance, on most nights (formal nights are the exception) late diners have their show BEFORE dinner, and we have found there isn't much to do after dinner other than the casino or a quiet drink in one of the lounges. I am not saying this to be negative, just to make sure you are prepared for the possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripley Posted July 15, 2011 #7 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi Cindy, We were on the June 26 sailing to Bermuda and there were definitely activities (dance parties, etc.) late into the night, usually in Revelations. It is stated policy that as long as patrons are buying drinks the bar will stay open! Celebrity does cater to a slightly older, more sophisticated crowd so you might find it a little more sedate than some other cruise lines and there will probably be fewer young people onboard at that time of year. However, Celebrity strives to make the cruise experience outstanding for everyone. If you intereact with the cruise director, ask staff where the liveliest late night activity is occurring, etc., you'll surely find like-minded cruisers and have a fun time late into the night!:D Have a blast!

CinWay Posted July 15, 2011 Author #8 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Thanks a bunch Ripley - that makes me feel better. I really did want to go with Celebrity for a number of reasons. We'll have a blast regardless!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
