Ambuoroko Posted July 6, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2019 We're planning dinner reservations for our upcoming November cruise. We have 3 meals each of specialty dining. My wife is a very picky eater, and I'm not sure how much she'll be able to eat at any of the specialty restaurants. Is there any problem with us going to a specialty restaurant and then going to the MDR together later if she didn't like anything? Has anyone ever tried this before?

Sand and Seas Posted July 6, 2019 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2019 No problem at all. I've been know to skip dessert at a specialty in favor of my favorite dessert (Souffle!) at the MDR. My DH got a nice salad & dessert for his 2nd dinner😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDuckmom Posted July 7, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 7, 2019 And then, after the MDR you can hit the buffet! Two dinners? No problem. Nobody is going to say, “ but you already ate at....” you can eat all day long if you would like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomk3212 Posted July 7, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 7, 2019 We once did an early dinner at Cagneys, saw a show, stopped in Taste for dessert, popped into the Garden cafe just before they closed & got some seafood (it was Seafood Night in the Garden that night) went to a second show then went to O'Sheehans for wings & other stuff. Yeah, I DID gain a bit of weight on THAT cruise...😲 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger001 Posted July 7, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 7, 2019 You can start early and eat until late evening, all you wish, as many times as you wish....except speciality entrees of course. Keep in mind the closing times of the MDRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlcardsfan79 Posted July 7, 2019 #7 Share Posted July 7, 2019 You also don’t have to eat at different specialty restaurants, we ate at Cagney’s twice because I am a picky eater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare PTC DAWG Posted July 7, 2019 #11 Share Posted July 7, 2019 The menus are out there, hard to believe someone couldn’t find something they liked... Trying different things is good for for the soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand and Seas Posted July 7, 2019 #12 Share Posted July 7, 2019 They do have some good stuff on those MDR menus. I usually order 2 appetizers because there are so many that sound good. Sometimes I've just had 3 appetizers and went straight to dessert! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipmaster Posted July 7, 2019 #13 Share Posted July 7, 2019 "Food" for thought, on the 23rd sailing we were at the main dining rooms and as they swiped couple in the noted they had reservations at a specialty dining and asked them to cancel. Perhaps you can do special then main, but not the other way around, of course the buffet and O'Sheehan's is always available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Nahoumi Posted July 7, 2019 #14 Share Posted July 7, 2019 They don't swipe your card in the buffet, so they won't know where you have eaten previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sailing12Away Posted July 7, 2019 #15 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I plan on doing his myself in 2 weeks on the POA. We have reservations for the french restaurant, and I'm not sure I'll be happy with a lot of the options there. If I'm still hungry, I plan on hitting the buffet for a regular good old burger & fries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
