Size of Summit is great, but it is deteriorating. Captain Kate is great, visible and genuinely friendly. Some staff were not so happy. Classic beverage package rules were confusing - got 5 different answers on first day. In a few cases, those selling Premium beverage package and specialty restaurants were overly pushy. Excursions were pricey but very good. On Martinique, we were upset that the tour operator and her group were 35 minutes late returning to the bus at Balata Gardens. Had we known, we would've spent more time in the gardens. Food was not as great as past experiences. My NY steak was tender and tasty, but fellow passenger didn't think so. I miss the chilled fruit soups, and the one time it was offered, it was very watery instead of slushy.

Ports and itinerary were very wonderful. Cabins are outdated in color schemes and need more than 2 outlets. Cabin attendant Anthony provided excellent service.
