Cruise: Around the Celebrity Summit

Our cabin #8131 on the Celebrity Summit which is considered

a concierge class room.   In my mind this means nothing.

One perk was we had our own check-in area but that line

 was just as long as the 'general' check-in line.

The bed was comfy but we needed more pillows

which was no problem.  Every evening we received the

next day activity newsletter plus a surprise gift

either from the cruise line or the cruise booking

company {Entertainment Cruise Productions].

 Flat Stanley

Just before we left we received a package with Flat Stanley 

and a note from grandson Cole.  We did this project once

before for Kaityln.  In any event, I quickly made Flat

Stanley some summer cruise wear and off he went

with us to Florida.  He had a nice vacation and is now

back at home with Cole in California.

I decorated our cabin door with red sparkle hearts

and plastic saxophone's I found at the Dollar Store. 

A few people thanked me for decorating our door because

when they saw it they knew they were headed the 

right way [or wrong way] to their cabins.

 Flat Stanley liked the nightly chocolates on the pillow.

Flat Stanley is lucky he didn't fall off the railing and

into the water.

 This was another up-charge restaurant on the ship 

that required reservations.  I don't remember what the charge

per person was but the menu was limited so we passed.

 The only way to describe this restaurant is 'funky'.

Mismatched chairs of orange, black and white which

seemed to work but the color scheme was a little

to much like Halloween.

No I didn't rotate this photo - what you are seeing are

lamps hung upside down from the ceiling ... that is a

little strange even for me!

 The main dining room - second level.

 We didn't get off the ship since the port stops were of

no interest ... so when the ship was pretty empty

we walked around taking photo's.

 Why would anyone buy art on a cruise ship?

Yet, they had an art shop as well as others selling jewelry

and clothing.  They even had a MAC store just in case

you wanted to buy a new computer or iPad.

Overall the ship has nice public areas but there are some places

that need to be re-done.  I'm not sure when the last time this

ship went into dry dock but it could use some TLC.   I

believe it was built in 2001.

This is a Royal Caribbean ship docked next to

us which is way too large for my taste.
