Hawaiian Cruise Reviews

If you’re daydreaming about sun-filled afternoons, sumptuous meals, lively entertainment, and breathtaking views, then you’re ready for a Celebrity cruise Hawaiian style. Many prospective travelers are so inundated with three words – Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) cruise Hawaii – that they overlook other cruise ships that also offer an exclusive Hawaiian Island itinerary. Celebrity’s Millennium-Class series vessel called the Summit is one such example.

Not Just NCL Cruising Hawaii

Large passenger ships dock regularly in Hawaii on their way through the Pacific, Hawaii’s Celebrity cruise ship, Summit, offers an exclusive Hawaiian Island itinerary. Such Celebrity cruise vacationers visit such tropical ports as: Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island.

The Summit - following the Millennium and Infinity - is one of Celebrity cruise’s Millennium-class series. Like other luxury cruise ships, the Summit features grand exterior glass elevators allowing you to whale watch on the way to your cabin. Museum buffs will salivate over the more than 500 museum-quality artworks, including an incredible $800,000 Fernando Botero sculpture.

The Summit has some of the best cuisine of all Hawaiian cruises. The ships master chefs create such delights as chateaubriand carved tableside, smoked salmon Claudine and rack of lamb Provencale.

The Normandie is the cruise ship’s 134-seat specialty restaurant which displays relics from the original transatlantic vessel. It also sports a dine-in wine cellar and open kitchen as waiters prepare your meals beside your table – a definite high point to your Celebrity cruise vacation.

Just as New York is the city that never sleeps, the Summit is the Hawaiian cruise ship that never slumbers. The late-night entertainment surpasses almost all other Celebrity cruises. In just one night, you can watch a variety of shows in the five-deck Celebrity Theater show lounge, enjoy a duo in the Rendezvous Lounge, a string quartet in the Cova Cafe, and then dance in the observation lounge/nightclub until the early morning hours.

Celebrity Cruise’s Martini and Champagne Bars are a big hit on the Summit along with the line’s signature areas like Michael’s Club cigar lounge and Cova Cafe Milano with its cozy card room next door. Wheeler and dealers will revel in the grand casino with 205 slots, two roulette tables, four blackjack tables, and three Caribbean Stud Poker tables.
