Thanks for taking the time from your vacation to post this wonderful "live" report. I loved seeing the pics of the Persian Garden. We'll be sailing on Summit in May-our first Celebrity cruise.

 

Enjoy your cruise!!!!

I was on the Summit back in Feb. If the menu is the same, don't shy away from the spaghetti and meatballs in the MDR! It was our favorite meal! The meatballs were stuffed with some really good cheese.

Thanks especially for the PG pictures, I think those are the first I'd seen. Don't know why we never went there on our last Summit cruise:confused:

As we are in AQ will definitely check it out this time!

Appreciate all your efforts!!

[familycruise71]

Thank you for taking the time and posting the PG Photos! First time I get to see what it look like!!!

Thanks for the review and pictures. Keep up the good work!

[mostrofsky]

Thanks we will be on the Summitt this coming Saturday April 21st. We cannot wait.:D

[rupertfrog]

Thank you for doing a "Live" on the Summit. We are taking our first Celebrity cruise on the Summit on March 9th. Any information related to who will be there then would be nice to know and love the reviews/photos.

We will have a Concierge Aft Cabin on Deck 9 ... so if any photos are available of those ... added bonus.

 

I've heard of an Aft Bar .... can you check to see if there is one & photos ... What deck it is on?

[Whippets]

Thanks for posting! We hope to be on Summit over Thanksgiving!

 

Tell us what you have enjoyed the most so far!

My favorite photo of the Summit Aft bar on deck 10:D

If you booked deck 9 aft your balcony would be one of those shown below the bar deck's flag mast...:rolleyes:

[gmros]

Thank you everyone for your responses!

 

I will try the spaghetti and meatballs next dinner, thank you EithneMay!

 

Thank you Avid for posting the photo for rupertfrog.

 

Rupertfrog, I only have this photo. But I'll try to take more and report back.

 

It's hard to see, but the bar is there in the middle :D

 

The view from the aft bar - Serenade of the Seas while we were docked in San Juan. I think that's the canopy of the cabins at the bottom of the photo, and parts of the some balconies.

APRIL 14 CONTINUED

 

Photo of the pools at night

 

 

Food!

 

Baked Farm Goat Cheese Tart 2/5

- I found the balsamic vinegar too strong for the tart

 

 

Crab Stuffed Mushroom Caps 4.5/5

- DH and I loved this, even our neighbor. I ate it even though I'm allergic to crab! No, it's not Escargot, though it looked it :(

 

Cream of Wild Forest Mushroom Soup 3.5/5

[gmros]

Aged Prim Rib of Beef (medium rare) 3.5/5

- I had better. It was a little chewy and needed more sauce. But I liked it anyway.

 

"Momma's" Pork Chops 4/5

- DH and our neighbor loved it.

 

Apple Pie a la Mode 3/5

 

Warm Banana-Blueberry Crepe 3/5

- the crepe itself was chewy. I'll try the crepes at Bistro on Five next

 

Here's a glimpse of one of the things we did today (4/15), guess what it is...

 

See you later, I need to get ready for formal night!

[socratesxxx]

Thanks for all the awesome pictures. Looks like I have to face the fact that I will be putting on a few pounds once I board Summit this coming Saturday.

[karen of PA]

Thank you so much for the awesome posts and photos. I especially enjoyed the food pictures. I have the most difficult time deciding what to order. I even check out the menus ahead of time so I know what I will be choosing.

 

What are you doing in the latest photo? Is it some type of food tasting? Can you describe it?

 

Thanks,

Karen

I believe that would be the Brunch, usually only offered 1 day, mid-morning. LOTS of food, lovely presentations.

[RodPat]

Yes, that is the brunch. We try never to miss that as it really is a treat. Thanks for your review and pictures. We sail on the 21st and the 28th of April and this is really getting me in the mood. Keep up the good work.

The inside cabins on Summit are much larger than on Millennium. We did our first Celebrity cruise on the Millie in Feb, and had an inside. Here is a picture of it. The bed was in middle of the room, with a small chair stuffed in the corner. Not much room to move around at all, but was just fine for a 5 night cruise, and the price we paid, lol. We are sailing on the Eclipse in Jan/13, and have a balcony on deck 8. Much better than the insides. We sailed RC Serenade the end of Jan. this year just before we did the Millie, and we had an aft balcony. It was pure heaven! :D

 

Thanks for taking the time to do a "LIVE" review. It's so great to see pictures of the ships and follow along with other cruisers while we are stuck on land! :eek: :D

[gmros]

Thank you everyone!

 

I'm at the Hilton Barbados right now trying to keep up with work, CC, Facebook etc :D

 

 

I wanna apologize in advance if I missed any of your questions/posts/requests. I'm realizing that it is not easy to post using my phone.

 

Socrates, yes there's a lot of food! I told my husband "I gave up" with dieting as soon as we stepped foot on the ship :D

 

Karen, yes that is the buffet brunch done. Don't miss it! Oh and don't eat breakfast if you can, there was a lot of food at the brunch. I'll post a lot of photos tonight of the brunch.

 

Debshomespun, oh the Millie cabin has a different setup. Thank you for sharing! We're also booked on a balcony in November on the Summit (different itinerary) and the it cost us as much as the inside this trip!

I am thoroughly enjoying your review. We sail on the Summit in September and you are giving us such a lovely glimpse of what awaits us on our cruise.

[sarahc78]

LOVING your review. Your photos are just fantastic.

 

If its possible, I know a lot of parents (myself included :D) would really appreciate some photos of the new Fun Factory and Teen Club if you have the time and oppurtunity to take some. Thanks!

[orchestrapal]

Great photos..we have just booked our first Celebrity cruise and have lots of questions some of which you have and will probably answer.

If you get a chance to see a PH suite and can send some pix they would be greatly appreciated.:)
