louva Posted August 23, 2011 #1 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Hi Everyone, Does anyone know for sure when the Summit goes in for refurbishing? Everything I have read makes it sound like the Summit is nice but old and in disrepair. This is our first cruise and I don't want to go on a ship that has ripped curtains and yuckie old bathrooms. I read maybe going to the shipyard in January. Is this soooo????:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanFi Posted August 23, 2011 #2 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I was on the Summit at the end of June. I too read that stuff and when on the ship did not see any evidence of disrepair. Our room was perfect and so was our bathroom. I was actually looking for some "oldness" because I had read about it here and really couldn't say that I found any. We were on deck 9 in a cc room. It was our first cruise and we loved it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a little but she is no where near on some of the comments on these boards that she is a rust bucket.:rolleyes: The ship is clean everywhere. Some minor wear and tear that really shouldn't bother someone's cruise experience. I had a cracked tile in the shower...some rust on the edges of the balcony.....no big deal. You'll have a great time.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divechick Posted August 24, 2011 #9 Share Posted August 24, 2011 the Summit was incredable when we sailed in April were back in Feb just after her refurbashment and can"t wait to see the changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarylady19 Posted August 24, 2011 #10 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Summit is in great shape. The only sign of age is rust on the balconies and worn out balcony chairs. I would not hesitate to recommend Summit, pre-refurb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobgp Posted August 24, 2011 #12 Share Posted August 24, 2011 On her in June and she was outstanding. Great ship and crew. I would sail her again pre-drydock in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louva Posted August 24, 2011 Author #13 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Oh thanks everyone. After reading the boards I was getting a little worried. But after reading all your posts and reading dkjretired link I feel so much better. Were not going till March and from the link looks like it will look like new. OK !!! I am so excited again :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcmslady Posted August 24, 2011 #15 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Been on her 4 times in since 12/2008 - loved every time. Great ship and crew - is she a little old, yes. Is the carpet a little worn in places, yes. But guess, what? I'm on a cruise and life is great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
