Additional details
When we got to the ship at about 12:30, there was no "priority" embarkation -- we were lined up for customs outside the terminal .....loooong line up. Disembarkation was "unorganized" and again, there was no "priority" disembarkation.
We have sailed on the Summit in 2004, and comparing to that, the food and service was not that great. In the buffet in the morning, not once this cruise did any one offer us coffee at our table -- eventhough it wasn't even busy some mornings. Noone was there to help with our trays either, but that's OK, we're quite capable of doing that ourselves. The coffee was not hot at all, but most days it was very strong -- I liked it, but my DH didn't. Good thing they had Taster's Choice packets, so I could make him a nice cup of coffee in the mornings. On the last couple of days, there was no more iced tea or pineapples! The buffet food was not that great...pizza totally sucked! It was soggy/limpy. The scrambled eggs at breakfast were absolutely horrible...runny and wet!
In the MDR, we had Select Dining, and made reservations online before hand...reservations did not mean anything! You were sat at the table as you showed up...sometimes it was at least 1/2 hour wait. The waiters were a little confused, the head waiter doing the assistant waiter's job sometimes if he forgot to bring/do something. Half lobster and cheap cuts of meat and rubbery skin on the grilled chicken breast. Sometimes we had to wait quite a long time for things we had ordered. There was pork belly and Momma's pork chops on the formal night menus. I had ordered eggplant ratatouille on the last formal night, and so did a lot of ladies close to our table, and 5 minutes after ordering, I was told that they don't have this dish, and I could have a Portobello dish instead. Then when we had dessert and ordered our coffees (which were much better in the MDR than the buffet), we were told that they had run out of cream. The desserts were not very good like before...the pastry was dry/hard usually. Baked Alaskan was not flaming either for us.
