DP Posted June 11, 2004 #1 Share Posted June 11, 2004 When you order a cocktail at the dinner table in the evening are you able to enjoy it while you peruse the menu. Or are you expected to order immediately when it arrives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouper 75 Posted June 11, 2004 #2 Share Posted June 11, 2004 At a table for two it has seemed to me that timing is up to you. At a larger table you might want to stay in step with fellow diners. Over all: your call. Babs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted June 11, 2004 #3 Share Posted June 11, 2004 That is one of the things I really like about RSSC Sometimes we would carry our drink/wine into dinner. We would ask for a new drink/wine while we looked at our menu. Sometimes we may even order a 2nd! THEY NEVER RUSHED US. Sometimes we had a group of 10 and got to use the Captain's table when he was not using it. It was very relaxed and unhurried. Sure can't say that for our NCL Norwegian Dream cruise this past February. Learned a BIG BIG lesson there!!!! If we can't do the nicer cruise lines we either don't go or save our pennies until we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolebludger Posted June 12, 2004 #4 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Never had this problem. If I wanted to drink and the waiters brought me a course,I would just let it set and drink what I wished. I never felt rushed to eat a course untill I wished. It is the same with drinks during dinner, and after. There is no rush. Except, of course, for the fact that the food is so good that one may chose to eat instead of drink! That's my problem any way. But anybody wanting to drink a significant amount at dinner should have no problems. Thanks, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeCruiser Posted June 13, 2004 #5 Share Posted June 13, 2004 I heard you may be able to order a cmplimentary cocktail at the dinner table, true? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolebludger Posted June 13, 2004 #6 Share Posted June 13, 2004 WeeCruiser: Absolutely true. The rule of thumb is this. You can order any drink at dinner which has a "bar price" of less than $8.50, and it will be gratis. Hope this helps, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeCruiser Posted June 13, 2004 #7 Share Posted June 13, 2004 Excellent Richard, I will have one and remember to toast you. Thanks so much. WeeCruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted June 14, 2004 #8 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Same for us. As long as we had a normal drink with dinner there was no charge. (normal like crown and water) etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClaudiaF Posted June 19, 2004 #10 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Have 2! Next stop: Buenos Aires to Rio Oceania - "Insignia" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayfarer Posted June 20, 2004 #11 Share Posted June 20, 2004 ClaudiaF. If you are a Radisson cruiser and have never sailed Ociania be prepared for a culture shock. Oceania have to be the champions of "nickle and diming" passengers. We were captive aboard Regatta for 26 days and never got used to contiuously being charged for every little thing. Mind you nothing (in my opinion) compares to Radisson - with Crystal a close second. The extra dollars are money well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
