Hi Zach, Great video. We just realized that we were on the same cruise. I spotted myself at 8:26. How random, lol. We loved the Summit and hope to go again soon. Maybe our paths will cross in the future. Happy Travels
The paper is wedged in there to prevent flex noise. I've had to do the same thing on a few ships. I did however remove the paper prior to disembarking. Have a wonderful trip.
I was on the Summit not long after you were. The first time we sailed on her she left out of Puerto Rico. That sailing was the southern Caribbean islands. But this past December we too sailed out of Miami with her. I love the style, the decor and the staff! Hope you enjoyed your cruise! Celebrity can't be beat!
Hey Zach, Tampa here. Nice thing about Celebrity, is they have just a very soothing color designs on the ships. Nice cabin, and I agree, they should have upgraded the 1992 phone to 2023. LOL
We are Celebrity only cruisers only. We have sailed other lines, but once we started with Celebrity we knew we weren’t going back to the others. We have sailed on Reflection (Caribbean) twice, Silhouette(Mediterranean and Caribbean) three times and July will be second sailing on Summit to Bermuda. Summit was refurbished just before our cruise and it looked great and new. We have three couples joining us and I will share your vlog with them. A video is worth more than me trying to describe what I remember. Thank you. Captain Kate McCue was our Captain and she was a treat to hear and see around the ship. I am so looking forward to Summit once more.
Thank you so much! I’m addicted to Celebrity myself. Have to diversify my experiences for the channel but really do love the brand. Have fun on your upcoming cruises!
I love the M class ships. We’ve been on both Summit and Millenium. We’ll be on Millie in March. Thanks for the reminder of how beautiful these ships are.
I love the Summit. We've sailed on her twice prior to the renovations. It's awesome to see what the refresh did to improve the ship. We'll be on her again in October. Keep up the great work! Love your videos!
Love Celebrity. We sailed on the Summit after you the first week of December. Had a wonderful time. Staff was great and we thought the food was better than other cruise lines. We’re sailing on the Eclipse in October. Enjoy your channel. Thanks
Hi Zach. Great video. Just realized we were on exact cruise. Saw myself at 8:26! How random, lol. We luved the Summit and hope to go again soon. Maybe our paths will cross again. Happy Travels.
How cool! Apologies for including you without your consent - I try to edit people out of my videos as much as I can, but sometimes it is difficult. How crazy we were on the same trip. I hope to catch you on another one sometime soon. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
We have not done a Millennium Class yet but hope to soon. We have done 9 Solstice Class sailings and so happy to see Summit in such great condition! Enjoy! We have only done the Edge in it's inaugural season. So glad that you are also a Celebrity fan.
@@ZachtheTravelingMan I was so excited that you fell in love with Edge Class and did such outstanding videos for each. I admit, that I was so freaking jealous of so many of your cruises! LOL. Edge remains our favorite cruise to date and I need to get on Beyond. Keep up the good work with the channel. I'm building mine faster than I thought so all is good. I really like your format. Can't wait for the full review.
Thanks Zach! Another great video and of great interest to us as we trying Summit as our first Millennium class and our first back-to-back in a little under 2 months. We can't wait for your next videos!
Nice tour Zach, I would like to add that on Summit in the solarium, the pool was a thelassotherapy pool. It was warm salted water that had bars on the side in it that you could lay on like a lounge chair. Super wonderful. Does it still have this feature? Thanks
Perfect timing on this video. Sailing her in a few short days. I do remember how stressed Matt was the couple days leading up to this particular cruise 😂.
We are on the Millennium right now. Repositioning to San Juan this week. We were on Summit last April and loved it. Thanks for the great content. I think you are developing a unique style with your videos, I like it. P.S. I think you might be a Tennessean, we are too. Born, raised and still living there.
Thank you so much for the nice comment. I’ll be on Millennium later this year! And good call on Tennessee - East TN to be exact haha. I miss it sometimes!
Another awesome video. 26 days until I board Summit. Also, great advice about how to obtain an upgrade... but I would add one caveat: Do not COUNT on getting an upgrade. Book a stateroom that you will be happy in. I've heard so many people complain because they booked an inside or oceanview stateroom and assumed they would get an upgrade, rather by bidding on one or simply getting one at guest services. Book what you'll be happy in, and if you get an upgrade, great. If you don't, you're still gonna be happy.
Taking our Honeymoon in April on the Edge. What are some of the best hotels to stay at in the area that won't bust the bank prior to cruising from the Miami/ Ft. Lauderdale area? Thanks.
Hi Zach 🎉I was just on Summit a month ago. I had a wonderful time. Especially so with the Retreat. I love the older M class ships. That said, I’ll be on Beyond for my next cruise in early 2024. I’m looking forward to trying something new. Safe travels 🚢
Been on the Summit 4X....Bigger is not always better. The M and Soltice class are my favorites... Edge Class are OK...But the infinite Veranda is a disaster on the Edge Class and is a deal breaker for me.
Thanks a lot Zach all lyour videos are really helpful, have two questions, one, regarding upgrade your bet for that at conccierge or there is a standard fee? second, how Celebrity asign the embarkation for passengers? by last name, by deck or first to come first to serve?...thanks!!
Ask for an upgrade at guest services as soon as you board. They’ll be able to tell you exactly how much that will cost. Embarkation time is selected when you do the check in online. Do it as early as you can to ensure you get the best time for you.
I’m a little worried about Celebrity of late. After 2 amazing cruises in 2 years, they did something super sketchy regarding pricing with my mom and I. Basically we found a good deal and they are trying to incentivize us to cancel and book at a higher price. Just super weird and not ethical IMO. That said both our 2 trips were on Retreat class in Summit and we LOVED it. Amazing service and vibe on the Summit. Great blend of some modernizations but smaller and priced lower than their newer ships. A nice mix of everything!
Most of my cruises were balcony or ocean view. I've taken quite a few interior rooms the last couple of years and sleep soooo much better. I find plenty of places on the ship to get away from it all.
Hi Zach, Great video. We just realized that we were on the same cruise. I spotted myself at 8:26. How random, lol. We loved the Summit and hope to go again soon. Maybe our paths will cross in the future.

Wow how amazing
The paper is wedged in there to prevent flex noise. I've had to do the same thing on a few ships. I did however remove the paper prior to disembarking. Have a wonderful trip.
Thank you! I was worried I would suffer the consequences if I removed it haha.
@@ZachtheTravelingMan Kinda like closet hangers; now we know to put them on the floor so they don't clang while we sleep. 😉
😂 do WE know that? I still forget sometimes haha.
It is downtown Miami and Brickell. Brickell and South Beach are two of the most expensive neighborhoods.
They revolutionized her in 2019. Just a suggestion to do the muster drill the second you get on board the ship. Takes 2 minutes and its done.
I was on the Summit not long after you were. The first time we sailed on her she left out of Puerto Rico. That sailing was the southern Caribbean islands. But this past December we too sailed out of Miami with her. I love the style, the decor and the staff! Hope you enjoyed your cruise! Celebrity can't be beat!
I had a great cruise and hope you did also!
My husband and I sailed on her the first year she sailed we did a Caribbean cruise then the second year we did an Alaska cruise on the same ship!
She is a great ship! Thanks for watching.
We’re going to be on the Summit later this year. Thanks for the tour!
Hope you enjoy it!
Hey Zach, Tampa here. Nice thing about Celebrity, is they have just a very soothing color designs on the ships. Nice cabin, and I agree, they should have upgraded the 1992 phone to 2023. LOL

Thank you so much, Kevin! I’m glad I was able to sail on her. Have a great time on your upcoming cruise!
My sisters and I will also be sailing on her in October.
Have a great time!
I’ll be on the Summit in sept going to New England and Canada. So it’s nice to see the room.
You’ll love it! And what a great itinerary too.
Love Celebrity. We sailed on the Summit after you the first week of December. Had a wonderful time. Staff was great and we thought the food was better than other cruise lines. We’re sailing on the Eclipse in October. Enjoy your channel. Thanks
I'm so glad you had a great time and have booked another with Celebrity! Eclipse is on my 2024 list already haha. Thank you for watching!
Hi Zach. Great video. Just realized we were on exact cruise. Saw myself at 8:26! How random, lol. We luved the Summit and hope to go again soon. Maybe our paths will cross again. Happy Travels.

@@ZachtheTravelingMan oh no problem, I love my 15 seconds (not even)of fame!! Next time I will be looking out for you and say hello
I would leave that paper tucked into the wall cracks. Sometimes you can get some irritating noises in the middle of the night.
I left it and that’s exactly why haha. Didn’t want to disturb anything.
Thank you for this video. I will be on this ship in April for my first cruise ever. I think I will like this trip.
I hope you have a great time!
Love Celebrity…Well i have been on the century class, solstice class and soon the edge class. .Love that balcony. Looking forward to your series…thx🚢😊
You’ve about been on them all! Thank you for watching.
We had a great time on the Infinity, which had a similar layout. The enhancements and upgrades they have done to Summit look amazing, great video!
Thank you so much!
Modern Elegance is the perfect description. I’ll be on the Millennium in April to the Panama Canal, love the small updated ships as well.
They did such a great job revolutionizing them!
Zach, so happy you got your veranda! We were on right before you & loved it! Booked Aqua on Equinox for May. Great video, looking forward to more! 😊
Hi Sue! So nice to hear from you. I’m glad you had a great time and hope you love the Equinox also. Thanks for watching!
We have not done a Millennium Class yet but hope to soon. We have done 9 Solstice Class sailings and so happy to see Summit in such great condition! Enjoy! We have only done the Edge in it's inaugural season. So glad that you are also a Celebrity fan.
If you enjoy Solstice class then I think you’ll appreciate the M Class as well. I love Celebrity! Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much! I hope you love Beyond as much as I did when you go.
The older I get the more I like smaller ships that have been redone. Did you say the name of the ship?? I missed it. I found it. Summitt.
I'll be on the Summit in June going to Bermuda. Glad to see this video!
You’ll have a great time! Great ship and great island.
Does Celebrity cruise out of Galveston? I like that port.
They do not currently sail from Galveston.
I want more ports outside of Florida. The hotels snd transfers Jack their prices up because of demand.
Thanks Zach! Another great video and of great interest to us as we trying Summit as our first Millennium class and our first back-to-back in a little under 2 months. We can't wait for your next videos!
Thank you for watching! A B2B sounds like a great way to enjoy this ship. You’re going to love it.
Just beautiful and it just the size I like to cruise on
Thanks for watching!
Great video, can’t wait for the rest of the series
Thank you!

Great comment - I believe it still does. Thanks for adding that!
Thank you for this review. I am traveling her on spring break! 🎉
Have a great time!
Thanks for great ship tour.
Glad you enjoyed it
Perfect timing on this video. Sailing her in a few short days. I do remember how stressed Matt was the couple days leading up to this particular cruise 😂.
I forgot about that stress until I was editing this video 😂. Have a great time on Summit and tell your mom I said hi!

I’m looking for smaller new ships. I don’t want to pay for rock climbing. Zip lines. Things I can’t do.
Zach what was the tour that you suggested for Bermuda. going in middle of June on Summit TY
Check out Bermudaful Tours.
The paper in the ceiling is probably remnants from hanging decorations.
That’s true! I left it just in case. Didn’t want to disturb anything lol.

Great advice! Thanks for sharing.
We are looking to cruise over new year. Do you think you could still get upgrade on the day of embarkation or is it likely to be full?
Taking our Honeymoon in April on the Edge. What are some of the best hotels to stay at in the area that won't bust the bank prior to cruising from the Miami/ Ft. Lauderdale area? Thanks.
The Hilton right at the port in Fort Lauderdale is great. That’s the only experience I’ve had staying near there though. Have a great honeymoon!
Wow beautiful room. As always, excellent video. What camera do you use? It’s always perfect quality.
Thank you so much, Jake! I actually just use my iPhone 14 Pro Max.

I’m so glad you enjoyed your time on Summit as well! I think you’ll love the Beyond. Thanks for watching!
Been on the Summit 4X....Bigger is not always better.
The M and Soltice class are my favorites...
Edge Class are OK...But the infinite Veranda is a disaster on the Edge Class and is a deal breaker for me.
It was a beautiful ship. They’ve done a great job keeping it updated and modern.

I did the summit to Bermuda. Very disappoint with the ship. I'll never do a small ship again.
Sorry to hear that!
Huge A/C fan.
💯 me too! As cool as I can get it.
I’m a little worried about Celebrity of late. After 2 amazing cruises in 2 years, they did something super sketchy regarding pricing with my mom and I.

Glad you enjoyed the Summit but sorry to hear you’re having issues with them lately. Thanks for watching!
I like your channel.
I appreciate that!
Zach--love your channel! I have to ask...are you retired? How can you take so many cruises?? ...affordability and time off from work?
Thanks for watching! I’m fortunate to be able to take several cruises a year and glad I get to share them here with everyone.
Is there a casino on board?
Yes there is! I’ll have a ship tour out in a couple of weeks.
I like inside rooms. Hate Veranda rooms.
Most of my cruises were balcony or ocean view. I've taken quite a few interior rooms the last couple of years and sleep soooo much better. I find plenty of places on the ship to get away from it all.
The phone is awful!!! No excuse for that!!
Noisy.
It's actually a lot more quiet than the big 3. More refined.
I don’t trust Celebrity.
asumming you have a reason…
We are looking to cruise over new year. Do you think you could still get upgrade on the day of embarkation or is it likely to be full?
That will likely be a bit risky. I know New Year's cruises can be some of the busiest, so it's very likely to be completely sold out.
