Brookefairway Posted June 29, 2018 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2018 We are planning a southern Caribbean in november on one or the other of the above ships. Any feedback comparing the two would be great..One young adult going and one adult. Food? Entertainment? please give us some thoughts! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted June 29, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I have done freedom sister ship Liberty a few times and did Summit early this year, entertainment will be much better on RCCL, ice show is always great much larger ship with more to do, buffet was really way better and less crowded on Summit, both are nice ships' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted June 29, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I've cruised both ships and loved each one. For entertainment and overall ship amenities, Freedom is the far better choice. I give the slight edge to Summit for MDR food and a more significant edge to Summit for specialty restaurant food. I think Celebrity has the best specialty restaurants at sea. They are, however, significantly more expensive. Good luck with your choice. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted June 29, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Agree on specialty restaurants , if you upgrade to a suite, suite perks are way better on celebrity, suite restaurant and lounge are both excellent on celebrity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We loved Summit but Freedom is newer, bigger, has a flow rider, rock climbing wall, ice rink and better entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qstrom Posted June 29, 2018 #7 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Having sailed both types of ships on both lines I can tell you the Summit is a much smaller intimate vessel vs the RCI Freedom class being much larger with the main promenade running through it's middle would have a younger crowd and more crowded feel. So it depends on what you're looking for between the two. We enjoyed the Infinity (sister ship of Summit) but it was older and smaller, we had aqua class which got us access to Blu restaurant and we enjoyed it but would not do again. Entertainment will be more lively on the RCI ship....but the Infinity had a "silent party" that was a hoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denisha188 Posted June 30, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 30, 2018 We've sailed both and out depends what you are looking for in your vacation. We'd sail rci freedom over the summit all things equal but enjoyed the perks celebrity included with our package but there were less activities on the summit that we enjoyed and we didn't like the mdr as well on the summit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted June 30, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Long time loyal Royal that just did our first cruise on Celebrity Eclipse....missed Royal and will be glad to be back on Freedom this September...Not sure I'll do an X cruise again but we did love the itinerary and it was good to finally give X a try.
