Wonderland as a solo?

[pandaball]

Hi all-

 

I'd like to try Wonderland on Harmony this fall- are the dishes served family style, or could a solo diner manage ok? Thoughts?

You could, but it's much more fun with other people.

A specialty restaurant.

I think it would be more fun as a group, but see no reason why you couldn't do it solo. I have been there with family, but if I were on a cruise solo I would definitely do it alone. Check with your Roll call and see if there is a group you could join otherwise I would do it alone. I loved it.

It’s better if you can try a variety of things. We went as a couple and still didn’t try everything so I figured you can go with a group it’s better

I would not go as a solo, as so many dishes, variety of dishes and flavours. Best to get a s lotion so you can taste many different things.

Perhaps you could share with others from your roll call?

I travel solo too, and wanted to go to the Mexican restaurant...same thing...too many dishes for a solo to enjoy....I got together a group of 16 and I think we had everything on the menu and a great evening!

I went to Wonderland as a solo. They adjust the portion size based on how many eaters are on the table so I just got smaller portions.

One of my friends was on the new Symphony, and was not allowed to eat in Wonderland as a solo.

Sounds like it might vary by ship then? I could check with the DL concierge when I get on board, I guess. Is that something they can help with? This will be only my second cruise as a Diamond.

I would guess that Symphony is an outlier here.

 

If you want to dine at Wonderland on Harmony, I doubt that they will have any problem with it.

As a thought, join the M&M group for your cruise and ask if any one would like to join you for dinner and make it a group event.

When I went alone the waiter specifically told me he'd ask the kitchen to choose the smallest cut of short rib they could find. That being said he still brought out 6 appetizers, the main I ordered, another fish main he thought I'd like (he was right, the fish with coconut rice was ridiculous) and then he insisted on dessert. Was I dying? Yes but it was my Everest and I'd still go again because it was delicious.

Sounds really weird since they take single bookings to all restaurants and even have single supplement and cabins for singles. If that happened to me I would ask manager right away.

I went to Wonderland as solo on Harmony and enjoyed it. The only thing too large for me to finish was the desert - but the part I did eat was fabulous!!!!

I think there is likely more to the story than this. They were likely booked that night. I cruise solo all the time, including on Symphony (got back couple weeks ago) and I have never been told I cannot do speciality dining solo.

Thank you Lisa!

 

And a big thank you for everyone's thoughts, especially the solos who have been there and done that. I haven't had good luck with the roll call for any of my previous cruises so I likely won't be going that route but I appreciate the perspective!
