Love hearing cruise reports. Looks beautiful so far, can't wait to hear about the rest. My co-worker just did an 11 night cruise on the Summit that just came back this past Sat., 12/23.

If I wanted a time out, I would go back to kindergarten.
Glad everyone is enjoying it!I get so much out of reading everyone's reports and reviews so I'm happy to share our experiences!
We have a Fuji underwater camera. We've had it for over 8 years, got it before our honeymoon in Hawaii. It has various underwater and beach specific settings so it's really great to have on beach vacations. I think one of the seals is starting to loosen since we noticed droplets when we took the battery out to charge so we might be in the market for a new one soon. If they have a new version of this one, we'd probably get it again!Originally Posted by Jen Jen
Yes, you definitely do! It's a great way to see different places, we can do a group trip!

Antigua. We had no plans this day and just walked around the port to check it out, lots of shopping to do if that's your thing, and then we drank our way through the various bars on the ship. LOL. We had a lot of sun the prior day so we took it easy with getting too much. And the plus side of staying on the ship on a port day is you get to enjoy a fairly empty ship!

The above is the view from the bar that the below picture was taken from. Also a great place to eat lunch outside.

The coffee bar was one of our favorite places, will write more in detail about it in the overall ship summary.

We were not as impressed with the martini bar as everyone else seems to be. But the bartenders did do shows and fancy stuff (think Tom Cruise in Cocktail), it was neat.

Loved how green every island was, it made for pretty views.

St Kitts. The day we took it easy and Kathy wanted to scratch her arm off. During our St. Lucia excursion while swimming back to the boat, someone had swam into the rope dividers (which were covered in who knows what), and in turn, that rope bounced back at me and rubbed up my entire arm. I tend to have very sensitive skin (I'm very susceptible to poison ivy and bug bites), and was left with lovely itchy markings up my entire arm. We went to medical and she said not to worry and gave me pills for the itchiness. I'm sparing you all pictures but it was not fun but I wasn't going to let it affect our vacation.

We did walk into the casino on St. Kitts to see the game selections but didn't play. It was everything you'd see in our casinos, 88 Fortunes, lots of the newer Ainsworth, China Shores, etc.

We decided to hit the sun deck and watch a movie from a cabana. It was awesome, we got sun on our lower halves (I wanted to keep my arm out of the sun), and got to enjoy some outdoor peace and quiet. The screen was amazing and the sound quality better than we've seen in any outdoor movie venues on other ships or elsewhere. It was a great way to spend an afternoon and just relax. The loungers were SO comfortable and seemed brand new.

St Thomas, our last day. We were originally scheduled to go on another snorkeling and beach excursion but with how bad my arm was feeling, Adam thought it best to to tempt fate and head back into the water for me to get some other ailment, so we cancelled (thankfully without penalty!). We spent the day getting plenty of sun and enjoying an empty ship. We watched another movie, moved to the loungers by the pool for lunch, and moved to the top deck loungers in the early afternoon. It was great and we got our fill of the sun for a little while.
There was also plenty of stops for refreshments.

St. Thomas was the first island, other than Puerto Rico, that we visited that had tremendous hurricane damage (most of the others were out of the path of the storms). Many of the shops were still boarded up and you could see boats sunken in the water and washed up on shore. It was sad to see the destruction everywhere.

Next post will be summary of restaurants, food porn, reviews of shows and staff, and overall thoughts. Hoping to get to it tonight.

You probably loved the 100% non smoking Celebrity ship casino! That's one of the main reasons we sail with them versus other ships.

lol @zeus! Adam would be flattered if he knew I posted that picture.
@Slotspert, are you allowed to smoke inside on other cruise lines?!!?! We've only sailed Disney (no casino) and Celebrity so we don't have anything to compare it to but I would most likely have avoided the casino if people were smoking in there.

Thanks for sharing, I’m enjoying your photos, sorry about your arm.
When I want fun I go to a casino....Nothing like a cock, slot and a handy!!
AquaClass and food reviews.
As I stated earlier, we splurged on an Aqua Class cabin. Aqua class gets you access to blu restaurant instead of having to eat in the main dining room. The restaurant was one of the main reasons we booked it and it was WELL worth it. The food and service was top notch. Because the restaurant is much smaller than the main dining room, items are cooked to order, and the menu is focused on fresher/healthier food. The menu is much more similar to how we eat at home (herbed quinoa/farro, fresh veggies, seared proteins) versus the typical heavy main dining room cruise fare.

We met lots of interesting people at dinner that we enjoyed chatting with. Though we had a table for two, tables were close enough to another table for two that you can easily converse with your neighbors (or far enough away that you could ignore them!). We met a couple that was on their 6th week in a row of cruising on the summit! Wow!
We also had access to the "Persian Gardens" in the spa. It had heated loungers, a Turkish steam room (my favorite!), a eucalyptus steam room, a dry sahara room, and one other I'm forgetting. We went there to relax and sweat out the toxins (booze) 3 or 4 times during the trip. We were the only ones there most of the time so it was nice and relaxing.
AquaClass also had daily iced tea and treats delivered to the room daily for "teatime." It was a fun treat though we didn't always love all the snacks. IMG_7791 (2).JPG
