Well its up to you. The Summit is as you have noted smaller and is one of their Millenium class ship

Hi All! I am fairly new to Fodors. My husband and I both in our early 30's are planning a week vacation the 3rd week of March 2013. We are trying to decide fox rental cars com between another cruise or just going to an island. We have taken two Caribbean cruises on Princess staying in mini suites and loved them both.
If you are looking for the wow! factor then go with the reflection or either fox rental cars com the Allure or the Oasis. All of the ships should have plenty to ofer on sea days so I think thats not a factor to consider. So what about the ports? Does that matter? The ports offered on the Rflection are preferable for me, esp. St Maarten though it seems there are quite a few sae days with only three stops. Personally i prefer more and as you say it might be a bit crowded on sea days.
Jacketwatch: Thanks for your response! fox rental cars com I was leaning fox rental cars com more towards celebrity because it is a brand new ship and curious to compare Celebrity with our Princess cruises, however I'm just a little concerned with being at sea for 3 days. With our two Princess cruises the most we were at sea was 2 days and that was great....kinda of nice to just relax after a full day of sightseeing on an island.
One other question regarding Celebrity. I know Reflection is their brand new ship so that is pretty exciting to be able to cruise on their new one, however they are also offering a cruise on the Summit
Well its up to you. The Summit is as you have noted smaller and is one of their Millenium class ships. We were on one of the others, the Connie fox rental cars com last fall and it was fine but I think will not have that wow! factor that the Reflection should have even after the upgrades. The Reflection is the newest of their solstice class ships which have been getting great, great reviews. The flip side is the itinerary is great on the Summit as these are all neat islands and you have only one day at sea so its a toss up. Do you want the wow! ship with more sea days or the older one with more islands. As you have noted you seem to like sea days so perhaps the Reflection is a good choice. What do you think?
Well...our first two cruises on Princess were picked because of the itinerary, but it just happened to be on The Caribbean and Ruby so we were spoiled with nice ships and great itineraries. I do remember after our first cruise fox rental cars com we only had one day at sea and said we kind of wished we had one more day at sea to get that other relaxation day in.
The itinerary on the summit looks great especially because my husband and I have only been to St Thomas and San Juan, however maybe this time we pick a cruise because of the ship and go with reflection? hmmm.....
St Maarten is my personal fav Caribbean island as it has a Dutch and a French side. We found it to be very clean and the people were very freindly. Also if you have the time you can catch a ferry from the French side to Anguilla as well. Just a thought. I find a lot of the fun is in the planning. Please fox rental cars com ask away for any other concerns. Cheers, Larry
We did not do it but as you can see Anguilla fox rental cars com from the beach i imagine not too long. Did you go to the airport in St. M and check out how close you can get to the planes/ I mean like they are right on top of you as they land!!
After two Caribbean cruises, we felt it was time to branch out. Have you thought of Alaska or the Mediterrean? Fares are not a lot different, but the sights certainly fox rental cars com are. Not a lot of party, but otherwise you are on a cruise. Much more interesting.
I took that Summitt trip out of San Juan this past winter and it was amazing. The ship was beautiful. It was actually the first sailing after the refurbishment and they did a good job. The ship might not have had all the bells and whistles that the newer ones have, but there was still plenty to do onboard. The staff were great, the food was good and the rooms were nice. In some ways, it felt more like a boutique hotel than a floating megaresort, and I was never bored. I would definitely recommend Summitt -- and that itinerary.
