No more DD on Anthem

[Paulxyz2004]

At least this rumor is one I´m very happy about.:D:D:D

[svillager]

You know, the internets haven't been around forever. We used to just show up and smile. Very few preconceived notions

 

Ah back in the day when there were midnight buffets, chocolate on your pillow, fixed dining with table side preparations and where we dressed up each night.

 

Back then we didn't need the Internet, fortunately - accountants and marketing didn't run the ship or the experience - the captain did.

Basing this on the response that the info is "old"...

 

Could that indeed be a correct response, and the change actually might have been scheduled to happen, but they changed their minds and now it's not?

 

I understand that the UK got the info from somewhere, but maybe it is indeed old info that was written up when they first pondered the idea of abandoning DD, but after further investigation, decided to leave DD as is?

... Could that indeed be a correct response, and the change actually might have been scheduled to happen, but they changed their minds and now it's not? ...

From what Patti reported from the ship, the folks that talked to her 2-3 weeks ago seemed very sure that a change was going to be made. However she later reported that they backed off from the change. It sure sounds like a change of mind to me.

....which may have changed again.:cool:

[Biker19]

I think we may need a countdown clock for this one as well.

[Biker19]

Countdown to the confirmation of the denial to the confirmed rumor.

Here goes my head again.

I think it's funny that this never ends! We're on the first full cruise in May so we'll see (May 5).

 

We were really looking forward to Dynamic Dining Classic but I guess we'll have a good time in spite of it. Note, I'm really being sarcastic... I haven't been on a cruise I didn't love yet. Can't wait, one week to go.

Here you go ;)

Someone needs to send this to RCI PR.:D

This kinda reminds me of a few years ago when Emerald was added to the loyalty levels.

 

Someone was in the Baltimore port and took a picture of the sign that said Emerald. Didn't Royal deny it at first? Then a few days later it was announced? I could be remembering incorrectly, but this is what it remind me of.

Wasn't there another sign too, something like Black Diamond?

I hope RC is not moving toward making all Solarium restaurants for suite guests. One of the reasons we disliked NCL was the way they treat suite guests at the expense of those of us steerage passengers.

I seem to recall that.

The Solarium has only 1 restaurant called Solarium Bistro which anyone can go to. I will not comment on rumors. Currently Coastal Kitchen is only for Suite and Pinnacle guests.

FYI, JS, SJS and FJS have been able to have dinner all along even on Quantum.

We were in a JS on Oasis in November and could eat in Coastal Kitchen

If I remember correctly, Oasis was allowing JS guests to have dinner in Coastal Kitchen from the time CK was installed. It was Allure that was not allowing JS guests in CK.

[BigMikefromTexas]

Feedback I have gotten from friends indicated that they did not like it as much as traditional dining. They are avid cruisers and I trust their opinion as accurate.

We started with the Traditional Dining on a ship with no alternative venues (other than the buffet and the pool cafe). Now all the ships have restaurants and we have slowly migrated to the specialty restaurants. Our experience has been better as time goes on.

 

However, that being said, we miss the tablemates for a cruise. Whether Traditional or Dynamic, or both, we are still cruising! And we have more options as time goes on.

That's right. We were in a JS on Allure in the Med in June and they didn't allow it but they did on Oasis in the Caribbean in November. There was some talk that they would allow it once Allure got back over to FL

I've eaten there on Oasis while staying in a JS, I was just saying it's official now. ;)

 

From the Website Deck Plans on all 3 Oasis ships

 

Coastal Kitchen

Exclusively for guests in Grand Suites and above as well as Pinnacle members, a fresh new fusion of California cool and Med-inspired taste.

 

And from Anthem

 

Coastal Kitchen

Exclusively for suite guests, a fresh new fusion of California cool and Med-inspired taste.

 

This one is a little vague, but the original dining descriptions on Quantum did say JS were welcome.

 

Allure has been iffy from what I've read here
