Title: First time on a cruise
Post by: laurat on December 18, 2009, 11:18:01 AM

After wanting to do so for many years, I have finally booked my first cruise, departing on 13 February 2010.  I am going on a Southern Caribbean cruise on the Celebrity Summit. 

Has anyone here been on a Celebrity cruise?

We've been looking at taking a cruise, but I'm still on the fence about it.

I think it would be great to visit so many islands in one trip, but on the other hand I don't really want all the big line ups.

Laura, what is your itinerary?  Do you have more days at sea or more stops?

Our itinerary is as follows:

Departure from San Juan Puerto Rico
Day 1: St. Thomas
Day 2: St. Croix
Day 3: St. Kitts
Day 4: Antigua
Day 5: St. Lucia
Day 6: at sea
Day 7: San Juan

Except for St. Kitts, which I have visited 3 times, I have never been to any of the other islands.  It should be interesting to see them.  Since I will not get off the ship in St. Kitts, I will have two days for nothing but relaxation.  The other days should be rather busy. 

I may need a vacation from my vacation!

 That is a good itinerary, in fact that is the one that might convince me to go on a cruise.

I would stay on the ship at St. Lucia.  I have bad memories from that place.   :grin:
