Live from Summit 3/26

[squidward]

Sipping a Chopin martini on the recently dry docked Summit. The ship appears to be in tip top shape. Tuscany is gorgeous as is the refreshed solarium. Lots of new carpeting, furniture, and paint jobs everywhere. Bistro on 5 is still Bistro on 5 but with the older menu, no more steak. I've sailed on Summit since 2003 and she's never looked better. Wish I aged as well. ;)

Oh!! This is SO good to hear, thank you for reporting in when you'd probably much rather be doing something else. Appreciate it! Bon voyage! :)

Thanks for your report.

I'm glad to hear this! We're sailing on April 23rd and have been looking out for reports of Summit post dry-dock. Thanks for sharing! :)

[prim8keeper]

I hope you enjoy your cruise! I'm also following along and thank you in advance. We are sailing on Summit again this summer so I'm looking forward to you comments, pictures, etc.

Thank you so much for your report, we're sailing on the Summit in a few weeks, and can't wait!:D

Going to have to disagree with you Squidward. But that's the beauty of cruise critic, lots of different opinions. Will post mine after fully considering all aspects of the 3/26 voyage. Enjoy

We are sailing on the Summit again this August and look forward too seeing the new decor on her. Have the sky suites been redecorated? Thanks for the information

[Woobstr112G]

Have a wonderful cruise. Glad you like the Summit. We did two cruises in a row on her some years back and had a fantastic time on both voyages...:):):)

Did they take care of all the rust on the ship exterior?

The outside looks great! Here's a picture...

I was wondering if someone could let me know if the Summit has a passenger talent show or a crew talent show at the end of the week. Thanks

[c-legs]

to the OP; thanks for reporting.

Is the ''roof top '' area and accessories all in full operation ? How about the

''Tuscan Grill 2.0'' ? Is that now in full swing?

If you have a ''regular'' ( non-suites ) stateroom, did you observe some refurbishment having taken placee while in drydock?

Thanks again

Glad you're enjoying the Summit upgrades! Have you tried the movie screen area? Is there a charge to eat in the rooftop terrace?

 

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to tell in a balcony cabin if the bed is by the balcony or the couch is by the balcony? Thanks for any help

On the Summit, the couch is by the balcony and the bed is by the bathroom.

Thank you for your live report. I am also interested in hearing about the movie screen area if you went/are going there. Do you have to use wireless headsets to hear the movie or is the sound loud enough to hear without headsets? Any complaints about noise from those in the aft A1 Aqua Class cabins below the movie screen area or in the aft Oceanview Bar area? Is there a lot of foot traffic there?

We were in a Celebrity Suite and it was not redecorated. I think only RS and PS were redecorated.

I did not see any rust on the exterior. It appeared to be freshly painted.

There were movies shown but no other amenities that I saw.

Tuscan Grill 2.0 was awesome. A vast improvement over the original IMHO. For an additional up charge, they serve Morton"s level prime steaks, the best I've ever had on Celebrity. The decor was more modern and the service more formal than the original as well.

Suite guests were invited for a special dinner and movie one night. They served a tasting menu that went along with the movie. It was a lot of fun and the food was tasty. It was plenty loud, no headsets required. During the day there were people hanging out watching the matinee but I don't think any food was served.
