dlwolf72 Posted October 16, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) On Oasis of the Seas during dinner in the Main Dinning Room can drinks like a “Long Island Ice Tea” or a “Strawberry Daiquiri” be purchased and brought to the table?

Clarea Posted October 16, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Yes, speak to your wait staff. The roving bar staff in the dining room are few and far between since the drink packages have become common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George C Posted October 16, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 16, 2019 We do not eat that many meals in mdr, but I would enter mdr with drink of choice then make sure you tell waiter that you will want a drink. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseMelissa Posted October 16, 2019 #4 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Our assistant waiters have always taken care of alcoholic drink requests. Sometimes they bring it themselves, sometimes it's delivered by a different waiter that seems to focus on drink fetching. I will say it takes a little long sometimes so it is always best to bring a drink in if you want it right at the beginning of your meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscobeans Posted October 16, 2019 #5 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) First thing is to tell your waiter or the maître d that you want to speak with the bar server. We always do and he knows to stop at our table each night so we can order our drinks. Edited October 16, 2019 by boscobeans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunnyHutt Posted October 16, 2019 #6 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Our assistant waiter handled our drinks and we ordered right when we sat down. Our 6-top generally had our beverages by the time the first course was cleared and we typically had time for a 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LMaxwell Posted October 16, 2019 #7 Share Posted October 16, 2019 30 mins from order to arrival seems about the norm. Don't show up empty handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwich Cruiser Posted October 16, 2019 #8 Share Posted October 16, 2019 On our recent Rhapsody cruise the MDR bar service was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artemus Posted October 16, 2019 #10 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Main dining room bar service used to be painfully slow but now it seems the opposite. I’ve experienced excellent service for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted October 16, 2019 #12 Share Posted October 16, 2019 We always bring our drink of choice with us, because it can take a bit of time to get that 1st drink while in the dining room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our recent Explorer cruise our MTD bar service was excellent too. 1 night we went in at 8.10 pm and asked for 4 D+ HH drinks. I gave the bar waiter $4 tip and the 4 glasses of Pinot Grigio turned up in 5 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailcon Posted October 16, 2019 #14 Share Posted October 16, 2019 DW and I are just off Anthem of the Seas 5 nite Bermuda trip. We ate in the MDR every nite and our Asst waiter handled all our drinks. He was on his first contract and he did an excellent job, We never waited more than 5 minutes for a drink and DW soda was never empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemus Posted October 16, 2019 #15 Share Posted October 16, 2019 On my recent Harmony cruise the mdr bar server was at my table sometimes by the time we were seated. If we needed a drink during our meal, there was never more than a 5 minute wait. Our server’s name was Jennifer and she was excellent. Always called me by name before I ordered or presented my card.

snowdogsmm Posted October 16, 2019 #16 Share Posted October 16, 2019 We had MTD but requested the same table/section each night and after the first night, our servers automatically brought drinks to the table when they saw us walk in. We never went thirsty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
