firstcruiseever Posted November 15, 2013 #2 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I don't think so. They JUST has a meeting about it, so it will take a LONG time to implement it usually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlybice Posted November 15, 2013 #3 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Does anyone know when they are making the changes with dining? Is this something that is happening in the next few weeks or months from now?:o Wasn't the meeting last week. I read nothing about any outcomes or minutes from the meeting. I suppose the next follow up meeting will be in 1 to 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanmarcosman Posted November 15, 2013 #5 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Corporate needs to have another meeting to decide when the next meeting will be;) While they're in there they need to come up with a new adjective to replace brilliant.

Rare Jamman54 Posted November 16, 2013 #12 Share Posted November 16, 2013 They truly are brilliant Those that cruised with JH in the early 90's will remember his buzz word back then was "spiffing", as in have a "spiffing" fun day at sea, or have a "spiffing" time in Cozumel. Maybe he should go back to that!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have become so disconnected from one another in today's world. We love sitting with the same group and hearing stories.

Georgiagolfer Posted November 16, 2013 #22 Share Posted November 16, 2013 BBQ ribs off Elegant night menu. Creme brûlée on every night dessert menu. WCMC on sugar-free menu. DW and I love the ribs, some of the best we have had anywhere. But I do agree they should be offered on a different night than the Lobster and/or Prime Rib.

RWolver672 Posted November 16, 2013 #23 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Let's face it, with 3-4000 people on a ship at any given time, there is no way they can make everyone happy - no matter what they do. Lots of people are against the comfort food but one night there wasn't anything on the menu that looked good so I tried the fried chicken and it was good. Some love the Guy's burgers whereas others said it was greasy. Some like dining with strangers, others feel uncomfortable. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Mysticks1 Posted November 16, 2013 #24 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) That's really sad .People have become so disconnected from one another in today's world. We love sitting with the same group and hearing stories. It will be very sad to see something like that happen but doesn't surprise me .:( I have to disagree with you. I was so happy they added the ATD and the equivalents on other lines so that I wouldn't be forced to sit with strangers at dinner. I am with the majority of those that posted on John Heald's FB post, I want to sit with my family or traveling group only. I am not anti-social, I just like to choose who I have dinner conversation with. On one cruise with traditional dining I ended up sitting next to an elderly lady with memory issues. She was very nice but told the same stories over and over EVERY night. Nobody was willing to switch seats with me. :( On another one it was a large table with my DH, DD who was 10 and an older couple who was in their 70's. Nobody else assigned to the table ever showed up. My daughter was miserable. Edited November 16, 2013 by Mysticks1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliair Posted November 16, 2013 #25 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I disagree I'm one who just wants to sit with my family .. Me too! If I want to talk to people on the ship, I can find a way to do so. We met a couple sitting down at a bar and struck up a conversation with them. We still email each other from time-to-time. I don't want to sit at a table getting ready to eat dinner and be asked about my life history. Or sit at a table with people who can't speak English (that was awkward), or have a different political view point. Politics, religion and dining just don't mix.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
