It’s not the ones who don’t want to tip extra that is perfectly alright. It is the people who pull the CA because they claim not to believe in tipping who bug me
This still easy as long as you like to eat after 7:30 or 8:00. We booked a table for Crown today for Monday 7:30 on the Grand. There were other people who were upset because there was nothing earlier than that any day
If you ever had to make a living in the hospitality industry in the United States you might have a different attitude. Tippers in restaurants put me through college
On the Grand right now and just like our last 3 cruises the manager for Sabatini’s Suite Breakfast is also in Crown Grill at night. When we want to book a specialty dinner we just see them while we are having breakfast. Never been an issue
There are always slots to book while you are on board but they are most likely to be after 7:30. We have never b poked before any of our cruises and always gotten tables. Yes we never eat before 7:30 even at home
The can’t do miracles like this. If they could the Reserve Dining would have a wait and a lot of upset people. Why do I pay for a suite if anyone can bring folks in
The OP stated they were not close enough to share a suite. We sail in suites and tell friends if they want to have dinner with us the must book Reserve Dining
There. Is zero chance. Both Reserve Dining and Sabatini’s check medallions the first few days. I have seen people sneak someone in and the manager had a talk with them. Never showed up again
It is not really a cruise line decision if the port no longer has the capacity for a lot of ships. Many ports are limiting size and number of ships these days
