Carnival Expands American Table to Two More Ships and More Cruise News

Great ,more bad service ships.

No tablecloth, one fork ,no teaspoons, a giant bread basket and a gallon of drippy water on your uncovered table.

Waiters now have permission to leave the dirty dishes on the table until the next course is served. You have to ask for a clean fork for the next course.

My experience was like this on the Breeze.

Just like Dennys!!!

What happened to fine dining?

Maybe we could pay more for the traditional service.

Disappointed to hear this, was hoping to enjoy the old menus one last time on the Sunshine in April. :( Now gotta figure which night to do the specialty restaurants with the new menu, let's start all over again. Ugh!!!

We had the American Table on Glory in October and had tablecloths. But the bread basket wasn't left on the table (I wish) - the waiter brought it around intermittently.

Do not like the American Table at all. I can eat "American" at home for better and far cheaper.

I hate the American table.... Prefer the old menus

Keep the menu for AT.

Bring back the tablecloths, and the proper silverware.

Get rid of the water pitcher and the giant bread basket.

Then AT will work.

I'll be on the first Sunshine sailing with the AT menu. We'll see how it works out. The menu is OK but preferred the old menu on Splendor week before last. No cappuccino pie on the AT menu.

I was on the Glory in October. I do miss the tablecloths (they had them on elegant night) but I found the menu to be enjoyable and the service superb.

We really like the new menu, plenty of choices.

And I was one that was very skeptical before I tried it.

Same for us on the Conquest in January. We really liked the new menu and service was great.

We did the Breeze over Christmas and the service was good for us, but did hear complaints from others about it.

We had rocky seas, and without the tablecloth, wine bottles and things would slide across the table when the ship rolled. It wasn't even really heavy rolls/pitches that did it. You had to make sure some items were blocked in so they wouldn't slide. I don't think that is something they took into account.

My wife liked having the water pitcher on the table! She could refill her glass when she pleased, rather then hoping someone would come around to fill it for her (which didn't always happen in the past).

Sir you just insulted Denny's :D

Agreed!

Heald's fb page has tons of negative remarks about AT. Plenty of those respondents aren't on CC. People beg him to take this up with the beards.

John Heald claims it to be Brilliant! He lies a lot.

He makes a Timeshare salesman seem truthful. :D

I don't believe it has reached Victory yet. Sailing it March 6th. CAn anyone confirm it is not on Victory?

It is not on the Victory! Still the standard "old" menu.

We had American Table and loved it. We love the "Ports of Call" items.

As far as the table cloth issue.... our last cruise they had table cloths, nice and white, on formal night. Five minutes into dinner and someone spilled a whole glass of red wine across the middle of the table.... lovely stain, staring at us the rest of dinner. Yeah, that was special.

We've really enjoyed everything about AT. Port of Calls menus are really great. The pasta dishes are delicious. Our service has been incredible. Love the bread and water on the table. We've had AT on three ships now. All three have been fantastic.

11 cruises booked on Carnival since 2008. Guess who just booked their first Royal Caribbean cruise...

Had AT for the first time last weekend on the Imagination. The table cloth doesn't bother me, but I have to say, I prefer the old menus.

Agreed!

Have you sailed with Carnival yet and have you ordered from the AT menu?
