Live from Summit (I'm going to try)

[Smellytoes]

I'm going to try to do a live thread but only have the regular wifi so I'm not sure it's going to work.

I'm a long time NCL cruiser (about 20 cruises) and one RCCL and one Princess. This is my first Celebrity cruise.

 

I completed the life boat drill still in my kitchen. The taxi is picking us up at 10:45 for a 12:00 check in time.  I only live a few minutes from the port but traffic can be a nightmare.

 

If anyone has any questions let me know.

where do you live, what's the itin?

Have a fun time on your cruise.  All the best

Go for it.   We all need a Live Post to keep us sane until our next cruises.   Hope the WiFi works for you.

Just got off the Summit a week ago. The ship might be old but she 

has been updated and is stunning. You will have a fabulous time. Service is amazing.

I finally got cruise critic to open. The taxi picked us up at 11:05 and I spotted the ship at 11:13. Then we sat in traffic for 45 minutes. But once we made it to the terminal we got luggage tags, went through security and boarded the ship in less than 20 minutes

I had the most amazing lunch in the buffet. It was some kinda d of fish in a garlic sauce. Dinner was in the main dining room. We had prime rib. Spaghetti bolognese and ravioli. Everything, including the service was excellent. So far the food has been very good. Maybe not a lot of choices but what is here is very good

I also want to mention that the sail away party was very high energy. The dancers were great and so was the band.

Right now I’m sitting in the solarium pool but it’s getting hot. It might be warm enough to swim in the main pool by this afternoon

My parents are on this, they are older and we were nervous with them traveling alone.  Keep the live updates coming.  How are the seas?

The seas are generally calm. They did close access to the promenade last night but that could have been because of the wind

Yesterday we spent at the solarium pool. Saw the Broadway cabaret show. Even though most of the songs I was unfamiliar with the singers were fantastic

[Smellytoes]

Dinner was at the main dining room. We have select dining but made reservations every night. I had a fish cake appetizer that wasn’t on the menu on the app  It was excellent  then had a shrimp scampi that was served with rice (also not on the app menu) and a steak Dianne which unfortunately was inedible. Very chewy. The shrimp scampi was very good. Tonight dinner is at Tuscan grille

[Smellytoes]

I discovered last night that we have no hot water so I have to figure that out today

[Smellytoes]

My daughter wanted me to mention that the turkey parm was really good

[marys350]

Enjoy your dinner at Tuscan Grille. We ate there twice on our Summit cruise in September and our meals were excellent!

[Stem to Stern]

It sounds as if you are enjoying your first Celebrity cruise.  We love the Summit.  Enjoy the rest of your voyage.

This is hard because sometimes cc works and most of the time it doesn’t.  I hope it works tomortow

Yesterday was spent in the solarium pool. I spent some time at the sunset bar before the show. The show was a singer/comedian that was actually quite good 

[Smellytoes]

Dinner was at Tuscan grill. The crab cake appetizer was great as was the lobster rigatoni. The fillet didn’t even need s knife to cut. It was amazing
