Heidi BucoloWhen it comes to enjoying a drink, Celebrity Summit offers cruisers a variety of bars and lounges. Not sure where to start? Well, we just returned from a family cruise on this ship and have put together our Celebrity Summit Bars Guide with all of the bar menus and drink prices to help you make the difficult decisions.
Celebrity Summit Bars Guide With Menus & Drink Prices
While one of the smaller ships in the Celebrity Cruises fleet, Celebrity Summit does still have many of the staples that repeat cruisers have come to know and love— like the Martini Bar or the Sunset Bar. Featuring signature cocktails, live music, and entertainment throughout the cruise, there are plenty of opportunities to make use of your Celebrity drink package at these bars and lounges.
Drink prices range from $8-11 for beer, $10-17 for wine, and $12-17 for specialty cocktails (though some basic cocktails are included in the Classic Package).
Casino Bar – Deck 4
If you need a beverage to go along with your slot play, then the Casino Bar is your stop. This bar is open whenever the casino is open (which on our port intensive itinerary was usually only in the evenings). This is one of the late night spots on the ship, so don’t be surprised to see some of the night owls grabbing one last drink at this centrally located venue.
Unlike many other casino bars, this one on Celebrity Summit does have a unique drink menu. It also has televisions broadcasting popular sporting events.
Martini Bar – Deck 4
Possibly the most happening bar onboard any Celebrity cruise ship is the Martini Bar; though, this one did lack some of the character found on newer Celebrity ships. With highly talented bartenders and a large list of specialty martinis, including the popular espresso martinis on tap, you will probably find yourself frequenting this venue. This is definitely one of our favorite Celebrity Summit bars.
During our sailing, the Martini Bar was typically open from 4 PM to late.
Rendezvous Lounge – Deck 4
The Rendezvous Lounge is located at the entrance of the lower level of the Main Dining Room and Luminae (the restaurant exclusively for suite guests). Thus, it is the perfect spot to grab a pre-dinner cocktail or an after-dinner drink while enjoying the live music or nightly game shows that occur here.
Typically, the Rendezvous Lounge serves drinks from 4 PM on port days or 12 PM on sea days.
Cafe al Bacio – Deck 5
Cafe al Bacio is your coffee bar at sea. Serving up signature espresso-based drinks, coffee cocktails, and tasty sweet treats, you can relax and people watch here day or night. There’s occasionally live music here too.
The good news is that specialty coffees/teas are included in both the Classic and Premium beverage packages, and all the pastries are completely free!
Cafe al Bacio is open daily from 6:30 AM to midnight, so you can get your caffeine fix whenever you need it.
Cellar Masters – Deck 5
For wine lovers, Cellar Masters will be your go-to venue. Offering a wide collection of wines from around the world, the sommeliers at the bar are ready to guide you on your tasting journey. Given its location, Cellar Masters is another perfect spot for a pre-dinner or post-dinner drink. There’s also live music here in the evenings.
Cellar Masters is open most days from 3 PM until midnight.
Spa Cafe – Deck 10
Located in the Solarium, the Spa Cafe serves up healthy light bites as an alternative to the buffet for breakfast and lunch. The Spa Cafe is open for breakfast approximately 7-10 AM and lunch from 12-2 PM. It features small plates, smoothies, and fresh pressed juices.
Of note, the Classic drink package does NOT include the smoothies and fresh juices here, but the Premium drink package does.
Pool Bar – Deck 10
Located in the center of the action on the pool deck, you can enjoy your favorite frozen cocktail while laying poolside and soaking up the sun. A visit to the Pool Bar will provide a refreshing and thirst-quenching treat during your sea days on Celebrity Summit.
This is one of the early spots to grab a drink as the Pool Bar is generally open from 8 AM to 8 PM daily.
Sunset Bar – Deck 10
Amazing views coupled with a great specialty cocktail menu, the Sunset Bar is a perfect combination. At this aft-facing venue, cruisers can gaze at the horizon while sipping some drinks. The Sunset Bar is also the perfect place to unwind after a day ashore and enjoy a great sunset view. I guess that is how the venue got its name!
The Sunset Bar is generally open from 6:30 AM to 1 AM daily. So whether you want a morning mimosa or a nightcap, you won’t want to miss out on this bar. It’s also positioned right beyond the Oceanview Cafe, so you could even grab some food and enjoy your meal outdoors.
Sky Observation Lounge – Deck 11
The Sky Observation Lounge is a versatile space with floor to ceiling windows that provide great forward-facing views. This entertainment venue comes alive with cruise activities like trivia, game shows, and themed parties. Good thing the Sky Observation Lounge is also home to a specialty cocktail menu with drinks named after the constellations.
Sky Observation Lounge is typically open from around 3 PM until late.
Mast Bar – Deck 11
Lastly, overlooking the pool deck is the Mast Bar. This outdoor venue allows you to catch some sun with a cocktail in your hand while still being able to enjoy all of the sights and sounds of the pool deck, without the crowds.
The Mast Bar is usually open from 1 to 7 PM on port days or 10 AM to 7 PM on sea days. The good news is that there are plenty of lounge chairs located on this sundeck, so this is where we spent most of our only sea day.
