A full review of our Summit cruise.

[cruising with marti]

Things only got worse after my scathing report. IE:

 

Food was terrible, I only gained 8 lbs.

 

Cabin was just too clean ( gave Marti nothing to do)

 

Coffee and fruit were served within 5 min afeter my call in the morning ( that meant a larger tip)

 

Sauna and steam rooms (Persian garden) were crowded, once I counted two other people invading my space

 

The smokers bothered me ( once I smelled a camel on the Stern side)

 

Our table mates were just too nice and interesting (they laughed at all of my jokes)

 

dining dress codes were in the most part strictly adhered too, I kept looking for all of the slobs who, according to some, cruise on Celebrity.

 

Staff, very courteous and friendly they called me by name "sir Phillip" when all I wanted was to be called "hey Bub"

 

weather was terrible, it only rained on sea days, port days were balmy and clear.

 

Debarkation was a mess. we were off the ship at 9:45 and was in our room at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Vancouver at 11: am.

 

I could go on and on but what is the point, I have two more Summit cruises comming up, I can just hope things will get better.:)

Phil,

 

You really have to watch out for those camels. Not only do they smell bad, but they make terrible noises. Once they lie down it's really tough to get them up and off the ship.;)

[kannna]

and they spit

Marti & Phil

 

I hope that the two of you are booked on Summit 7/15/05 north to Alaska and the cruise is the same except for the Camels. (Were they one hump or two).

 

Anyway we're on that one and are looking forward to it. (Except for the 8 lbs)

 

Best

Where is Lake Almanor?

[Karynanne]

Phil, we "endured" much of the same on the Mercury...but no camels! We were told that the Summit had booked them first!

 

The things we have to live with....cruising with Celebrity...BUT someone has to do it!

Did you know that nine out ot ten doctors that tried camels went back to women???

 

Ah most of you are probably too young to remember that ad - well at least the part that 9 out of ten doctors prefered camels.

[slomotion]

H,

 

you're a dirty old man!* I do remeber those ads, and at least some of the jokes made about them.

 

* it takes one to know one!, ain't it great!

Marti, did you notice who was riding the camel?

[alpal1993]

I actually have 3 camels that live down the road from me.I did notice that Last week I only saw 2.maybe he was on the ship?I say good morning to the camels everyday on my way to work.They make my day,as it really is an unusual sight.

The politically correct term is "Soiled Senior Citizen" Dirty Old Man to me is the guy Arte Johnson played on Laugh In - Now THAT really dates me

[CruisingChick]

Hermang,

 

I remember Laugh In even though I was a baby then - YEA RIGHT!!!

 

I see we are neighbors. I'm in Stamford.

Phil,

 

 

I noticed that the more martinis I had, the more the ship rocked. It really rocked bad a couple nights!! Tim

[jwattle]

You poor sweet people, having to deal with all of that service and splendour...Yikes! :p

Lake almanor, is up in the high Sierra mountains in Northern Ca., not far from Reno Nv.

Spent many a summer as a kid on family vacations to Lake Almanor. Always stayed on the Peninsula. Few places on earth as beautiful as Almanor!

[Chick's pal]

Your comment about Arte Johnson on Laugh-In is:

"very interesting...but stupid."

[suziescruzin]

Not sure how I found this but I just got back from Plumas Pines on beautiful Lake Almanor!!! My husband golfed in a charity tournament and we will be sure to go back!

[AFT_LOVER]

it is that bad 11/20 when we get Transcanal going................

 

You need to get the water pistol for smelly camels as I shoot them if anyone dares show me one. Even the Carnival ship parked behind us!

[Longboysfan]

Marti, did you notice who was riding the camel?

 

I saw that guy on my last trip.

[House_Atreides]

Gosh what a horrid cruise. I remember someone on another cruise board saying her cruise was a 'nightmare.' Are you having nightmares?

 

I sailed last March and had to endure the same as you. Terrible situation. Especially with those ugly camels walking around the aft part of the ship with their black tongues hanging out.
