ryano Posted October 28, 2013 #26 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Ive been offered the cookbook and bottled water in the MDR. A polite "no thanks" seems to take care of it just like it does on the islands. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelife Posted October 28, 2013 #27 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I've never experienced this in all my cruises. Hope it stays that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpmfloyd Posted October 28, 2013 #28 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Im hoping this isn't a new thing. I wouldn't enjoy it. I'm happy to say "no thanks" but c'mon don't get me at dinner! I'm already annoyed at all the sales and shopping crap they stuff down my throat. Don't try to sell me while I'm eating too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolimits Posted October 28, 2013 #31 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I would think the wine offer is part of waiters job especially if it's discounted.The cookbook also but just quick We have this special today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonnaK Posted October 28, 2013 #32 Share Posted October 28, 2013 We eat in the MDR every night. Maybe we give off "not interested" vibes, but we have never encountered any solicitation in the MDR on any cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DicAnns Posted October 28, 2013 #33 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Maybe some of the passengers who don't have the time to research all the deals/packages through forums like CC before boarding are actually happy that someone highlights the different options to them so they can get the most for their money. If the pitches are short and sweet and actually relate to dining they wouldn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
