RJL58 Posted February 2, 2015 #954 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Liz, I think you will find that DD/Classic and Wonderland be will rolled out in the fall on Oasis and Allue. Anthem crew/managers will go to these ships after a vacation/time off. Allure will get the resturants in dry dock, Oasis 3 will have them as part of the ongoing build and will be the same layout as on QOS/AOS. :D:D:D:D.

Rare little britain Posted February 2, 2015 #955 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) [quote name='SamFritz']It is also only 40 entrees for a whole week. In the Traditional MDRs you get 8 choices with a new menu every night. 8 x 7 = 56 entrees per cruise. I think THATS a few more choices than DD. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk[/QUOTE] But in the MDR several of the entrees are not to my liking, therefore with DD I can go to the restaurant where I like the menu the most, and as others have said, if there are 2 entrees I like, I can go back again, where as with MDR if there are two entrees you pick one and lose the other, never to be seen again! I think we agree to disagree. Edited February 2, 2015 by little britain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big Booper Posted February 2, 2015 #960 Share Posted February 2, 2015 [quote=Mouse's Shadow;45468563]We're so glad to hear that they are trying to offer something akin to traditional dining. We just got off of Allure 2 weeks ago. We were glad to have gotten to sail her before they split up the dining room. We have no desire to do a ship with DD, so our future cruises will be on smaller ships or other cruise lines. Right now we're booked on another cruise line. We'll just wait it out to see if they are able to come up with an option that is good for us.[/quote] Your statement is not correct. We just got off Oasis a couple of weeks ago. The dining rooms were not split up, you still have the triple deck setup. The difference is that every level has a different decor but the basic structure has stayed the same.

baman Posted February 2, 2015 #961 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Ok do we all agree we think its good or bad. This should be a done deal. The people who are worried will be till it happens or doesn't. The ines who are not are just ready to go. I am just worried about the autism and food allergies. Otherwise do what you want. But care for the people who need care. I think people who hobon when its smooth may like it but no one will win lol Sent from my SM-G900P using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinax Posted February 2, 2015 #967 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Beat me to it. DD doesn't offer more choices for a 7 night cruise than traditional dining, despite all the hype! In fact, unless you're in a suite, there aren't even 40 to choose from. Only 4 of the 5 DD restaurants are available to all cruisers, so that's 32 entrees. And yes, recently they removed the cover charge from the "Devinly Decadence" venue due to the overcrowding at dinner, but that venue only offers 4 entrees, so even with that you only have 36 to choose from for the week, unless you're in a suite. There were more than 4 entrees on the menu at Devinly decadence. I think we're about 8 when I was there two weeks ago Sent from my iPhone using Forums Edited February 2, 2015 by kevinax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elizanessie Posted February 2, 2015 #969 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Thank you!!! I was hoping for that answer :D You are welcome :D I had asked RCCL about Coastal Kitchen because I knew there were a few suite guests on CC who were concerned that it would not be added to Allure.

LuCruise Posted February 2, 2015 #970 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) I have just had an email from a RCCL Executive who confirmed that Oasis & Allure will continue as is..Traditional & MTD. Quantum has DD but Anthem will be having Classic option as well as DD. Wonderland has been removed from the dry dock schedule but Coastal Kitchen will be added. Seems so much simpler to just leave it as it currently is. It still gives people a choice of a set time/table or book a time that suits you. My worry with Dynamic Dining is that i'll get bored/limited with the set menus. I don't eat meat or chicken as it is, so those 40-something choices is a lot less over the week. And not sure how often we would pick the formal restaurant (at least once but not sure twice). But honestly, whatever it ends up being in April of 2016 on Allure, we'll go with the flow and enjoy our cruise. It's just all part of the cruising experience. PS - What is Wonderland???

LetsGetWet! Posted February 2, 2015 #971 Share Posted February 2, 2015 There were more than 4 entrees on the menu at Devinly decadence.

No one is denying that DD will be introduced to other ships in the future...Ovation for one and maybe even Oasis 3. But nothing in what you posted says it will be added to Oasis & Allure.

Elizanessie Posted February 3, 2015 #975 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Quite an interesting read with regards to Classic, DD, Quantum, Anthem and even a wee mention about Oasis & Allure - http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=6174 I wonder what they will replace DD with on Quantum when she goes to her new home?
