HicksRA Posted September 27, 2021 #1 Share Posted September 27, 2021 We all know that you can be accommodated for lots of requests in the Main Dining Room. It might be interesting to hear some of the things you’ve requested and been provided and give others some ideas of what they can request. On my last cruise, the waiter asked what kind of rolls I liked and I told him I like the cranberry rolls. (The soft bread rolls with bits of cranberry). Each night thereafter, he brought a basket of rolls and when I cut them open to butter them, they were crammed full of cranberries. 😃 It was like eating bread and jelly….. 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Ozark_Kid Posted September 28, 2021 #3 Share Posted September 28, 2021 My wife once said she loves curry dishes. From that night on, whatever she ordered they would also bring out some kind of curry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spunky946 Posted September 28, 2021 #6 Share Posted September 28, 2021 On our last cruise, I said the coffee was too strong, and the next night he made it half strength for me, I didn’t ast for it, but it was an amazing gesture 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our table's wait staff was quite amused at "The 'white guy' who was eating the curries." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Four Years straight, B4B Cruises on same Ship with same Head Waiter each time. Was his doing... Best thing staying in same Cabin on 4-6 Weeks Room Attendants and Wait Staff get know your routine. Though one got too friendly and wanted hangout with me, Nope! She even called my Room! Edited September 28, 2021 by ONECRUISER 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUZorba Posted September 28, 2021 #17 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I've gotten savory bites on multiple cruises. No idea why they got rid of them, I see them on people's tables all the time. Last cruise I also asked what night orange sherbet night was and the waiter just said "Thursday." On Thursday he apologized and said that it was "Friday," because the kitchen had too many desert requests. It was only thing I found that they no longer have an orange sherbet night and they were making it just for me. I really like orange sherbet but only ever get it on cruises because I never want to "waste" my ice cream night on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilBlackDress Posted September 28, 2021 #20 Share Posted September 28, 2021 mine is kinda boring... I normally ask for a side plate of veggies... 1st time that I asked for the side plate, they brought me a mix of the veggies of the night and did so for the rest of the cruise The next cruise, they asked what I don't like and then mixed it up the rest of the cruise Another time they asked what veggies I do like... I said it is a smaller list to tell you what I don't like!! But on my next cruise, I am asking for the chilled soups!! so yummy (and the veggies ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norwich Cruiser Posted September 28, 2021 #23 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Cheese plate for us to nibble on whilst waiting to order. Normally after the first night’s request it’s always waiting for us on arrival. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kernow Posted September 28, 2021 #24 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Pistachio ice cream, the good waiters always remember after the first night and bring a scoop with whatever dessert I order. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfguyxxx Posted September 28, 2021 #25 Share Posted September 28, 2021 On our very first cruise, the "seasoned cruisers" in our party, (there were 8 of us) asked for a shrimp cocktail platter with cheese and crackers to be at the table before we sat down. They were there every night. Mind you this was 20+ years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
