We had breakfast in the Coral this morning - our one and only meal in a MDR. We actually remarked that there seemed to be a lot of tables for 2. 

We only had breakfast in the Horizon on 2 occasions preferring the MDR’s as it was so much more relaxed 👍

It was very relaxed this morning! We entered at 8.05 and our cooked breakfast appeared at 8.50, minus the mushrooms which materialised about 5 minutes later! We weren’t due to disembark until 10.25 so we were quite happy to stay there until 9.30 - we were almost the last group to leave. Anyway, as we headed towards the theatre, we were told that we could disembark straight away which was good. 
 

We had a light breakfast delivered to our cabin every other morning. I don’t mind the £2.50 charge, but it’s annoying that they’ve stopped providing hot drinks,

I ended up in Horizons and the secret is the initial stampede is over by 6.30 and anyway people seem to want to move no more than 10 yards from the forward servery. I found that using the aft servery had plenty of spare tables and I found a window one every time. Note access from the Skydome is blocked by the Beach House so the starboard side was even quieter. Glad to see an improvement in the salad choices, there was smoked salmon AND Gravilax one evening. Only one roast and one soup though.

 

The quays was also quiet at 6.30 and plenty of room away from the serveries, people just won't walk.  

 

I was not eating much because my IBS kicked in big time on the 3rd day.
