crooooze Posted September 12, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 12, 2021 What’s everyone’s opinion of the main dining room servers singing and dancing during dinner? 🙂 Love it?☹️ Hate it? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank12 Posted September 12, 2021 #2 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I'm indifferent to it. If it went away I would not miss it, but it does not ruin my dining experience. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlindholm Posted September 13, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I'm indifferent. The only thing that makes me care at all one way or the other is whether the dining room staff are enjoying it. If they hate doing it, then I'd be happy to see it go. Some of them really seem to enjoy it. So if they are happy, I guess I'm happy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwokpot Posted September 13, 2021 #5 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I hate it and wish it would go away. You notice that they don't do it at any of the alternative restaurants. Additionally, service suffers right before, during, and right after the performance. You need to allow an extra twenty minutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallnthensome Posted September 13, 2021 #6 Share Posted September 13, 2021 They didn't sing on the Panorama two weeks ago and the way I like it .I want quiet and I want photographers out of my face when we eat as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nina_930 Posted September 13, 2021 #7 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I think it's fun. It's something special you don't normally get in restaurants so it makes dinner entertaining. The men and women work hard at the show too, so I hope those who don't like it at least don't put them down or show annoyance towards them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane0226 Posted September 13, 2021 #8 Share Posted September 13, 2021 We enjoy it, as long as the crew enjoys doing it also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne_trisha Posted September 13, 2021 #10 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Gross. Diners standing up and waving their dirty napkins around. Once we witnessed an adult male get up on his table and dance and wave his napkin around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did it tonight on the Panorama. A wonderful singer. As others have said, it doesn’t ruin our experience at all. If you want fine dining experience the steak house is available every night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzdoug Posted September 13, 2021 #12 Share Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) It's pretty hokey, but I guess it helps to remind you that you are on vacation, because very few other restaurants would try it. I like the idea of dinner entertainment but I would probably prefer a close up magician walking from table to table, or a comedian/emcee telling jokes, or live jazz or piano standards, or at least singit some songs other than YMCA or Sweet Caroline, which I've heard enough times for this lifetime. But it's carnival's signature thing, so whatever. I guess I'll hear them a few more times. It's not important enough to be a deal breaker. They really should lose the sleeve ruffles though. Those look ridiculous. Edited September 13, 2021 by zzdoug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Computer Nerd Posted September 13, 2021 #13 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Don't care for it only because they interrupt service to do it. If they would wait until dinner service was complete (or at least until desert was served) I wouldn't care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debnrick Posted September 13, 2021 #14 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Hate it! Especially when guests begin twirling their crust filled napkins in the air and flinging those crumbs in my soup. 😂 You would think waiters would hate it as well by interrupting their flow of service. Just MHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclist_guy1 Posted September 13, 2021 #15 Share Posted September 13, 2021 for the most part i don't like it but...we sailed multiple times on the pride where we had maître de ken. he can certainly sing and made the dancing experience enjoyable.

MzOhioLady Posted September 27, 2021 #17 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I happen to Really Enjoy It. I look forward to it when I'm eating in the Dinning Room, that's why I Sail on a Funship! I get plenty of good pictures of the wait staff singing and dancing. I was just on the Horizon, and the first two nights of Dinner, we were Serenated by one of the waiters who have an Excellent Voice. I could have listened to him for a while. The other nights we had the dancing and singing. It doesn't last that long so I don't see how it ruins people's dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furf_n_slo Posted September 27, 2021 #19 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) I don't mind much for dinner. It would be nice if not every waiter participated so that service could continue. I did not like it during breakfast. We had to wait almost 20 minutes to order because the gentleman was singing so loud I couldn't hear my kids talking right next to me, let alone hear the waiter. He sang 4 songs. Then it took our waiter awhile to get through all the tables that were waiting to order.

When it affects service and having a timely meal then it's not a positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Fart Cruisers Posted September 27, 2021 #24 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I find it annoying when they do it during dinner. Some people seem to enjoy it, but It would be much better if they did the show a half hour before anyone places a dinner order and a half hour after the last person in the dining room is finished eating. That way the show won’t impede dinner being served, and people eating dinner won’t disrupt the performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
