Wednesday 30 August - A Relaxing Evening

So, after something like 54 hours since we had left home on Monday, we finally had a pied-à-terre on board the Summit.

We were due to set sail at 6 so we headed to the sky lounge. The music in there was very loud so we wandered about until we settled in the Rendezvous Lounge. We have a free drinks package so started with a cocktail - a Singapore Sling for E and a Brandy Alexander for G before moving onto wine. We didn't leave Boston until after 7, so that will have cost Celebrity extra to overstay!

I'll think about this

Lots of live music around the ship, but most of it very loud

Singapore Sling and a Brandy Alexander - all included. What's not to like about that?

For academic interest only - some guests comply while others don't and these guidelines have been loosened since we were first on Celebrity

We’re on ‘My Time’ – which is actually ‘Our Time’ dining from Celebrity’s point of view and we were told we'd have a 30-minute wait which turned out to be nearer 15.


No tables for two available right now, so we get a pager.  But we didn't have to wait for long before it went off


We were shown to a lovely table near the back of the ship. We love that on Celebrity there are always some of our favourites on the menu - escargots, French onion soup, Caesar salad, salmon, steak and our favourite dessert, crème brûlée.


Fewer items on the dinner menu over the years on most cruise lines but at least Celebrity offers most things that we like








Sunsets at sea are among the most beautiful I've ever seen





Escargots - usually on offer on Celebrity

Our staff on this table are all excellent and very good humoured

Beef and veal spaghetti bolognaise

Creme Brulee - another regular feature on Celebrity menus

Celebrity are still doing a 'turn down' service each evening - something that other cruise lines have given up on

One of the three particular joys of nature at sea - sunrises, sunsets and moonlight
