seapad Posted August 18, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I think I've seen somewhere that the dining staff singing and parading in the MDR has been discontinued on all RCCL ships. Is this true? I kind of enjoyed the social aspect of it. Hope someone can give a trip report on this topic. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seapad Posted August 18, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Good to hear. I will be on the Liberty of the Seas in September. Can someone share their experience with the dancing/parade question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitzmark Posted August 19, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 19, 2015 We hope to sit in a non singing and dancing section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJMetsFan Posted August 19, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 19, 2015 They did the last night on Liberty a few weeks ago but not as elaborate as past cruises 7 or 8 years ago. Was only a handful of staff. My waiter was not involved. He was scrambling around working his butt off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisenfever Posted August 19, 2015 #9 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) We were on a b2b on Liberty in June and they did sing on the 9 night itinerary but not the 5 night. Edited August 19, 2015 by cruisenfever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare WrittenOnYourHeart Posted August 19, 2015 #10 Share Posted August 19, 2015 On the Radiance a couple of weeks ago, about mid week a few of the assistant servers (and whatever kids wanted to) danced to Gangnam Style on the landing of the stairs. Then the last night the assistant servers did the parade - which apparently only went through the MTD area, then sang along with a pre-recorded song while standing on the stairs.

quirty30 Posted August 19, 2015 #11 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I can't say for sure if they were singing, but the dining room staff in the Grande on the Oasis a few weeks ago definitely paraded around - I think it might have been the second formal night.

ljcofy Posted August 19, 2015 #13 Share Posted August 19, 2015 They just did on Freedom last week. Full on Conga line with a lot of passengers going on bottom level of dining room. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioRob Posted August 19, 2015 #14 Share Posted August 19, 2015 On the Grandeur in early June, it still took place. It was at the end of the 2nd formal night (so day 6 I believe). We had one of the chefs sing a pretty song of thanks in Italian. That was in addition to the parading around and recognizing the various staff involved in serving us. (MDR staff, chefs, staff from other venues such as Windjammer, etc.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this true? I kind of enjoyed the social aspect of it. Hope someone can give a trip report on this topic. Thank you. We did not have either on the last two cruises - - Brilliance and Serenade. We were told by our server that they had been cancelled due to the amount of time it took away from serving the guests. We missed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davekathy Posted August 19, 2015 #17 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) On our March/April 2015 Adventure Of The Seas B2B Cruise there wasn't any singing or parades in the MDR done by the wait staff. Edited August 19, 2015 by davekathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BillOh Posted August 19, 2015 #18 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Depends on the ship. They sang and paraded a bit on the last night of our recent Enchantment cruise. I haven't been on the oasis class since they remodeled the dining rooms for the anticipated then abandoned Dynamic dining. I wonder if they still do it there? They did it on Freedom my last cruise.

clawmachine Posted August 19, 2015 #20 Share Posted August 19, 2015 They had 3 different nights with music and dancing around this past week on Oasis! The announcer said they were going to sing but no one really did. This was traditional 6pm dining in Silk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
