Main dining room take out?

[codeyell0]

I do like the MDR, but usually, it will interfere with many shows or activities, or it takes a long time.
Can you order togo?  
Can you order kids food like chicken tenders, for the kids?  Some nights they were not in the buffet on my last cruise.

If you are in suite you can order from MDR menu.  Not sure that others can.

The MDR is a sit down experience. No togo.

Whew.  At first I thought you wrote no togas in the MDR but I see I'm OK.

Tell your waiter you need to be out by xx:xx.  We never spent more than 45 minutes for dinner on our last cruise.

This isn't really what you asked, but you can take your dessert "to go" after dining in the MDR.

In August on the Allure, my husband was not feeling well, so I ate in the main dining room and the staff put together a complete meal for me to bring back to the cabin.

No to go. My husband was sick so I would go to MDR and eat with my kids and they would have a whole meal for me to bring him. But no you can’t just get it to go. Dinner is very quick now with limited menu.

I've seen several people "doing takeout" from the MDR in the last few months. Came to the door, caught a waiter, waited a few minutes, waiter came back with multiple plates to go.

 

NO CLUE if they were sick and quarantined, or just wanted the MDR menu, but HAVE seen it happen more than once.

You could do my time dining and schedule around the show times.

Take Covid onboard or get Covid early on the cruise and you can order off the MDR menu no matter what kind of cabin you are in.

Yes Common last yr if someone is Quarantined or Sick. Daughter was quarantined 2 days, sinus infection but just in case she had quarantine for 2 days, 2 neg CV tests. We'd bring her back Main Dining, which wasnt easy, 4-5 heavy plates with covers. Good thing there was 3 of us. So if you want eat in Cabin everyday just go WJ and take food back....or get a Suite

Actually, back in the way back days, the MDR had a toga night.  They gave us extra bedsheets, and we had to make our own toga. I still can't believe my husband actually did that...........................

I've seen this too, and from specialty restaurants. I'd suggest keeping it simple and tipping.

Brilliant. At least people wouldn’t complain about shorts when they’re surrounded by that.

I for one haven't tried Togo cuisine.
