This happened to me on Freedom in March. I wanted my entrees meals together but was told that they can only serve one thing at a time. Also, everyone has to be finished with their plate before they can move to the next course. So, if I finish my entree, I cannot get my dessert until all 7 people are finished with their entrees. This is annoying because some of us wanted to eat quickly and leave for evening entertainment while others spent more time chatting and dragging out the dining experience.
