Good cruise experience; the Summit is a very nice
ship and well run. The cabins are kept spotless by a very good housekeeping
crew. Service is also very good at meals. My biggest complaint is that the
alternative dinner choices are inadequate; the buffet closes at dinner. The
quality of the food is very good but not excellent; the entrees at the breakfast
and lunch buffets are rather limited. The ports of call were interesting and the
shore excursions were good. The captain of the ship remained hidden from view
and there were no public address announcements at all which made the cruise more
impersonal than it should have been. Celebrity seems to be for the older
traveler who likes to dress up for dinner and likes schedules which are rigidly
adhered to. I would like a more flexible cruise experience than it offered by
this cruise line.
