Questions on the "New" Summit

[jsf]

I know that the Summit is going into dry dock next week and we are sailing on her in March. What I'm confused about is what the changes are going to be. Will the Normandie still be an option for dining? I guess I'm wondering what will the dining options be and whats being deleted. I know their adding a Qsine but what other new places should we look forward too.

Normandie will remain (thank goodness) Bistro on Five and Qsine will be added as well as Blu for Aquaclass guests. Michaels Club will be converted to focus more on craft beers as well. I don't think any dining venues are being removed. I'm sure Celebrity will be publicizing the Solsticization process, as they did with Infinity.

Here's a couple of press releases on what is being done.

I thought they were getting a steak house type of place called Tuscan or something to that effect.

There is a good article on Preparing To Solsticize The Summit by Celebrity Summit's Director Julian Brackenbury on what is taking place. Article is written by Richard H. Wagner. (One item wrong in the article is the Summit is not getting a Tuscan restaurant but they are getting a restaurant called Qsine.)

My wife and myself are traveling on the Summit for the fourth time on February 4, 2012 and are looking forward to seeing the changes.

They are not getting a steak house type restaurant called Tuscan on the Summit. The Summit is getting a restaurant called the Qsine restaurant.

That was the original plan but as you can see by the press releases they changed it to Qsine...

Thanks, I hadn't read the press releases. I saw that on a cruising site. I'm new to cuising so I'm not that into all of the details as most.

My Wife and I sailed on the Summit for two weeks Back to Back in December. We have cruised 14 times and had a great time on this ship. We had the opportunity to have dinner with the Captain one night and he and crew are excited to have the Summit updated. I can tell you that our experience was excellent because of the service, cleanliness and positive attitudes of the staff and officers. You will have a great time and when cruising, it's always about you having fun and making the best out of a great experience.
