Celebrity Summit 1/17/09

We're booked on this cruise ... Nice island hopping cruise ... Nothing
big to see that we can't do on our own ... although we will probably
use a guide in Grenada ... just to see and do all we want in a short
time ... and do a deep sea Marlin trip in another port ...

Definitely wanted a balcony and the upgrade to concierge class was
peanuts ... considering all the extras one gets ... fresh fruits
definitely .. maybe even peanuts too ...

Comments on the ports (San Juan, St. Maarten, Domenica, Grenada,
Bonaire and Aruba) or the ship are welcome ... our 2nd Celebrity
cruise ... the first rated very highly on service and amenities ...
had to stretch to failing the soap holders in the shower to find
faults ...

Most of the hotels in San Juan are expensive for our pre cruise
stay ... but I did find one ...Close to the airport and cruise
dock ... a small boutique place ... Coral Princess Inn ... where
reviews are mixed with many swearing by but some swearing at this
place ...

You found a decent hotel at a good price. There is a Walgreen's around
the corner from your hotel and there is a liquor store nearby that has
snacks and beverages. There are some small mom & pop restaurants, Baskin
Robbins, etc.

If you like scuba diving or snorkeling, then you will enjoy cruising to
Bonaire. You can dive right from the beach, you do not need to go out on
an excursion. http://www.infobonaire.com/snorkeling.html

Aruba has beautiful beaches and casinos, if you enjoy that. St. Maarten
is one of my favorite islands, I love the beaches on the Dutch side and
the French side. This island has some of the best shopping, if you are
into that sorta thing. Nice chocolate & confectionery stores.

Enjoy your cruise on the Summit.
