We love Celebrity but this was our first time on Summit. Very different to Virgin but we enjoy both. We were in the Retreat and the service was exceptional from all but the Butler - we ask very little of a butler but we barely saw him. Retreat Lounge nothing like Apex - back on her in July - but the lounge does have some natural light coming in. Retreat sun deck was nice - hot tub but no pool. Unfortunately the lift to access it wasn’t working and my 89 year old mum couldn’t walk up the 16 steep stairs so we didn’t use it much. Luminae service was outstanding. But to be honest throughout the ship service was excellent and the crew so friendly. Anything else you can think of please ask! Wendy

Thank you for your review! We got off the day you embarked - and guess what we walked onto - Celebrity Summit - that’s how close they were. When I told the porter that was where we were heading he walked our luggage over - he got a great tip! Wendy

Oh I’m loving your trip - we arrived back on Summit on Thursday and was so worried for you arriving with the rain. I haven’t got to the last page yet but Elena is a dear - we’ve sailed with her several times when she was an assistant waiter in Luminae and was so delighted at her well deserved promotion. Joanne had been Retreat manager but I think she is now in Guest relations - she’s from Scotland. I did the same tour last Sunday and our docent, Buddy, said the exact same thing! Wendy

Just got this too - a nice gesture!

They discontinued this a while ago on Celebrity - they too made an error with pricing and didn’t honour it! Wendy

But strangely enough it has still appeared on my Express pass as MORE - at that point it was marketed as Drinks and More. I booked it ages ago, the option to cancel on my cruise planner is no longer there but I must admit I was surprised when it has appeared on my express pass. Whether anybody remembers what you get remains to be seen! Wendy

Yes, it does! I know it is not the proper name but I refer to it as the Funky Forest. on Apex it I call it the Oor Wullie strip - only Scottish guests would understand that!

Can’t wait to follow along - thank you! With regards that email I had it for both my Summer 2021 Apex cruise and Summer 2022 Beyond cruises - both in Magic Carpet suites which we loved. Wendy

Definitely still there!

Was lucky enough to be in Labadee last year with Royal. Barefoot Beach is still there - we didn’t go there as we weren’t in a suite. No problem with vendors as we didn’t go to that area. Food was better than expected but not as good as CocoCay which has great food, especially if you get the chance to go the Beach Club. But even the “free” options are great. Wendy

Depends on the ship but generally on Edge Class at the Bistro - other ships usually Tuscan Grill till 10am.

I’d head to Elite breakfast instead!

Have a great cruise! And you wouldn’t have been able to book the Veuve dinner in advance - only onboard! Wendy

I know this was an autocorrect typo but it made me laugh! Especially as Fort Liquordale was followed by Margaritaville! Hope you have a fab cruise and @mac_tlc so glad your passports arrived!

It’s not just you - I once got it on but couldn’t get it off - fortunately our room attendant was close by! Wendy

What a pain. We are on the July 19th sailing and haven’t heard anything yet. One of the deciding factors for this cruise was the ease of embarkation/debarkation in Amsterdam - staying one night pre and post cruise. We’ll wait and see if we are effected. Wendy

I am so sorry for your loss. Your posts were always so kind and your sense of humour shone through. I always remember your lost luggage and the little black dress. May your memories help in the days ahead.

How about leaving the TV on the bridge channel? It has an outside view on it? Wendy

On both Apex and Beyond we had two padded chairs, small table and two loungers. The balconies are huge!

You could order as much as you wanted and The Mast Grill is very handy too.

To be honest it was only on the sea day they had a half size one - never fully booked otherwise. They used the smaller half to store things. Service was excellent and on the second day we took the litre bottle of Kettle Vodka back to the room and ultimately back home!

First photo is the split one on Beyond - second full size one. We booked two days for the split one but the first day there was no others booked so we got a full size one! wendy

Yes you can use them! My mum has refreshment package so she’ll use her diamond vouchers for the very few alcoholic drinks she has.

Our Retreat Host offered the same on Beyond in July - but I would never ask him to get us drinks! He also spotted if I added anything different and restock that too. Wendy
