jascruise Posted August 20, 2004 #76 Share Posted August 20, 2004 On 8/7 Maasdam, second entrees were presented with no problem. Don't know if they would have balked at additional lobsters, though. However, there was no rack of lamb, and the only grilled shrimp was in a pasta dish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare fb0075 Posted August 20, 2004 #77 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Well, I am certainly not disputing your word--BUT that is something that I have never seen or heard---most of the time if we order off the menu i.e. last week on the Westerdam,it was just 1 of those nights --and I asked for spagetti--went and asked and came back "no problem"---I can understand if their is no lobster that nite anywhere on the ship and someone would insist on that---but I have still NEVER seen this or LIMITS on any food items-- FRANK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinkiecat Posted August 20, 2004 #78 Share Posted August 20, 2004 [quote name='Jacqueline']BTW-We also abhor waste and never order food that we do not intend to eat. I know my kids get bored when we order four courses and they are just having one but dining and conversation rather than speading thru the meal are part of the whole experience.[/QUOTE] Since I can't eat much, I just eat more slowly and enjoy the conversations of my tablemates who enjoy extra courses. slinkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqueline Posted August 21, 2004 #79 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Frank- You sound like my dad ! He just loves that aspect of the cruise dinner. I can only imagine what would happen if he had an Oliver Twist moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankerjo2 Posted August 21, 2004 #80 Share Posted August 21, 2004 A dozen + cruises and we have never had a problem with anyone at our table chowing down in a manner that slowed or disrupted the flow of our dinner or service. Eating is part of the fun so if it is 2 appetizers or an extra entree we could care less. What does slow things is the couple who wander in 10 or 15 minutes late.

RevNeal Posted August 21, 2004 #81 Share Posted August 21, 2004 I'm not always fond of the soups ... I'm not a "soup" person ... and so I've been known to order a second appetizer IN PLACE OF a soup. This happened the very first night on the Statendam; once my waiter realized what I was doing he never had trouble when I did it again on subsequent evenings, but the very first time it threw him and he brought both appetizers at once. After that when they would bring everyone else their soups, they would bring me my second appetizer. One of my fellow dinner mates leaned over once and looked at the spring rolls in front of me and said: "funny looking soup." "Yes ... it's all dried up." I replied. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
