bliss_fully_happy Posted November 17, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2011 So we all know it is popular - especially from 10pm to 3am ish. This has always been my experience, so why has no one done anything about it. Here is the experience I am talking about: 30 people in a line for pizza - one person serving. Deli guy sitting there doing nothing staring at the Pizza line. Why oh Why is the pizza line not better staffed. Why oh Why is there not a separate line for special orders, versus "I'll take what is in the window case." Line? Ok vent over, still had my Chavre (sp?) pizza and I am glad to report that it was very yummy as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H82seaUgo Posted November 17, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2011 i've never seen 30 people waiting for pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWCHIEF Posted November 17, 2011 #3 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I don't think that I have ever seen more than 5 or 6 people at anyone time in the Pizza line and have never waited more than 10 minutes to order a pizza from scratch and have it on a plate. Sorry, non-issue as far as I am concerned. I am never in a hurry or have to be anywhere when I am on a cruise ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfadj Posted November 17, 2011 #4 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Never had an unreasonably long wait for pizza on a ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bliss_fully_happy Posted November 17, 2011 Author #5 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Maybe I am very unlucky. Normally not in a hurry, but this trip was the first time with 2 small kiddos. So I was in a bit of a hurry to get back to the room. Also it did coincide with camp letting out. (and in the past with no kiddos coincide comedian letting out, etc..)

PenguinLife Posted November 17, 2011 #6 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I suspect much of the wait would be caused by limited oven capacity, particularly for people ording full pizzas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okgirl Posted November 17, 2011 #7 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I have seen longer lines and the reduction to only 1 person manning the station. I think it's like everything else, they are cutting back in area's that they don't get revenue from.......I discovered last week that you can't even get grilled chicken on your ceasar from the pizza place anymore.......

serene56 Posted November 17, 2011 #9 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Ever see the pizza line on a port day right before the ship is supposed to sail? Buffet closes at 2:30 so the options is Deli, grill or pizza. The pizza line is the longest. But I will not stand in a line like that-- Its not like we will starve if we wait a bit.

elcuchio24 Posted November 17, 2011 #10 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I've never seen more than a couple people in line. But I will give you this, especially late night they are very slow with service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bliss_fully_happy Posted November 17, 2011 Author #11 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I do mean that, yes - 9:45pm camp lets out - just so happens that night my 3yo had a nap from 1 to 5:30pm - (from a fun filled day of the baby waterslide to herself in port) so we let her stay the duration at camp. Dad was in the room with the 10mo that was sleeping waiting on his pizza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H82seaUgo Posted November 17, 2011 #14 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Can pizza be ordered using Room Service late at night? no. but the brand ambassador surveyed his clan about what they thought about a $2.50 charge for late night 2 slice delivery. and of course there were those saying , sure, great idea, it's cheaper than land delivery. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbiecruiser Posted November 18, 2011 #20 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Wasnt that after making fun of RCCL for doing the same thing? You can have pizza delivered for no charge to your cabin on Royal Caribbean with the exception of midnight to 5:30 AM and the charge is $3.95 and that includes the tip. It was implemented to cut down on waste and it has. At least you can get hot food delivered to your cabin on Royal so people can poke fun at the cruise line all they want.:rolleyes: Funny how Royal is brought into so many topics on this board. I guess it's called Royal envy.;) Also other cruise lines charge for pizza delivery. It's called Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusinpsychRN Posted November 18, 2011 #23 Share Posted November 18, 2011 For that matter why only one guy at the deli when the line is about 12 people. They have enough stations for 2 people to work it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darchie Posted November 18, 2011 #24 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I have seen several people in line for pizza and I have seen only a few. In my experience, it doesn't matter how many are in line, the service is agonizingly slow. However, we LOVE the pizza, so we either wait or come back when we have more time.
