I'm allowed to have an opinion that differs from yours. Enjoy your lobster(s).

As long as the food isn't being  wasted, how much someone else eats is really none of your business... And that is my opinion even if different from yours.

And that's the point, isn't it? The food is often wasted. I don't give a toss what or how much anyone eats. I truly don't. You can gorge yourself on all the lobster tails you want as long as you eat what you ask for. What bugs me is the waste, and I'll bet there's lots of it.

Then why did you make the comment that people shouldn't eat so much?

Well, you got me there. I should have said people shouldn't waste so much. My bad. You have a nice day.

Why does anyone need more than one starter or main course or dessert at a time? You can only eat one at a time so why order more if there's a real possibility that you may not finish it? It's wasteful, it's greedy, and it's entitled. 

After 60+ cruises I think I have any idea of MDR portion sizes and have a how much I can eat.  Sometimes that's more than one of any course.  Depending on what's on the menu I might rather 4 different appetizers and to skip the main course entirely.  Never had waiter bat an eye at ordering that, unlike some of the judgmental busybodies on this board.

 

RC spun the MDR changes as a response to pax wanting shorter dining times when in reality they're just cost cuts that create more work for their employees, insult pax, and create longer dining times.

Is this a Weight Watchers group cruise?  Otherwise how much people eat is none of your concern.

Looking around the average cruise ship I don’t think anyone would mistake it for a weight watchers cruise

It's the only place I know of to get a free (included) one. 😁

But it’s not free.  It’s included.

I would say that it becomes a topic for public comment as soon as people complain about food quantity being limited on a public forum.

We always order multiple apps. We want to taste everything, one bite, the rest in the trash.

I would say that it's still no one else's concern as long as people are eating and not wasting what they order.  But ultimately passengers are not 5 year olds who needs to be monitored to make sure they clean their plates before they get dessert.

And all you got was a tiny lobster. 

These big casino winners - I wonder how much money they gamble away for this kind of notoriety? "Look at me, I'm a high roller"😁

No lobster tail on cruises less than 7 nights.  

 

On our upcoming 7 night cruise, my husband will order two entrees and give me his lobster tail.  I don't care how large or small they are.  It is what it is.

 

No way would I ask a table mate to order me a lobster tail.

 

On our 2/6 Adventure cruise, I could not order a plain house salad.  Waiter told me it wasn't on the menu. Only caesar salad was listed.  I ordered 2 shrimp cocktails and had to finish one before the 2nd one was brought to the table and not immediately after, I might add.  Doesn't this make more work for the waiter?

 

 

We were on a 6 night Odyssey February 5th and they had lobster night. I was surprised that they offered it.

I don't eat lobster!

If I tell my waiter I want all my food at once - he is better doing it or he will have a problem - the maitre is going to have a problem or the hotel director is going to have a problem! I will not accept a bully from people paid to provide service for me!

Just think. Somewhere in the world, right now, another commenter on here is going "ARRRRGH" over your comment. Me, I am LMAO, this is GOLD!

Hey, to me it's entertainment and an investment in the Casino.😊

There are posters on other social media who acted like it was a contest how many lobster they could order. They cant or wouldn't eat 11 orders of meatloaf, but would eat 11 lobsters and brag….

There was a lady on here several years ago that bragged her husband had 10 - 12 (I forget which one) lobsters. I honestly don’t know where they put them or how their stomach can hold that much at one time. Mine would be coming up my throat. 🤢  I wouldn’t mind getting a second one sometimes, but I understand why Royal is doing it. They definitely don’t taste like Maine lobster to me like they claim they are.

I guess you are not familiar with the size of the entrees and appetizers. I'll agree that there's probably waste in the WJ.

Really???  Honestly, obvious jokes are not that hard to read even typed online.  I laughed out loud at it. 🙂

I'm surprised also. Someone at Guest Services on my Feb. 6 Adventure cruise told me they stopped serving lobster sometime a month before.  Only served now on 7+ night cruises. I wonder if it varies from ship to ship.
