zqtchas Posted May 27, 2019 Author #53 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Well to be fair all small communities use school busses, but this is the 1st time they used compact seating & were filled to compasity. dinner service improved but selection is still repetitious. Looks like a new CD Chelo will be coming on. Correct me if I’m wrong but when they launched these Mews type ships & shrunk the main dining room because they wouldn’t need so much space with all the other restaurants, why is the MDR (Alantide) always so crowded & mostly slow service? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because their forecasts of use due to changing demographics of passengers were wrong.So the Moon and Dawn will have larger Atlantides and smaller Indochine spaces according to the Fleet HD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unibok Posted May 27, 2019 #55 Share Posted May 27, 2019 In Anchorage, we just woke to the shaking of an earthquake whose epicenter was near Homer. Did you feel anything onboard en route from there to here? Heading back to sleep now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stumblefoot Posted May 28, 2019 #61 Share Posted May 28, 2019 So, if Jimmy is staying does this mean he is finally a Hotel Director? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zqtchas Posted May 28, 2019 Author #62 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Dinner tonight was very good. The plates were hot, service was timely, especially for a change over night. Antonio, with Samual, Myrdal and our waiter Igede have done a terrific job with what they had to work with. Even our head sommelier Karolina has been very attentive as well as long time assistant sommelier Roger. Running out of some wines. Would be nice if they would get some Zinfandel.

Don’t know yet, sources are clamming up. Could be just overlap. Especially if you mention if they came from Celebrity etc. No mention of M & M.

Well the space formerly called Indochine still exists and will feature more local cuisine but it is still under review and may change. The reason the Indochine concept has gone is because it wasn't that popular even though many loved it.To make it up to those who love their curries they are being moved to the main menu.Certainly the lamb Rogan Josh I had in the MDR this cruise was better than the same dish in Indochine on the Muse in February.And as they found out on the Muse Atlantide is too small for the demand so it did need to be larger. As you may guess I have had another talk to Fabien.The La Dame space will become the SALT concept.It will be a type of cooking demonstration area with a chef assigned to that area specifically.Not a true cooking school.It really sounds a good idea when Fabien explains the concept.La Dame should be relocated. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, really hoping he’s named the HD for the launch of the Moon. He was the launch CD for the Muse, so it seems like a natural progression. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
