Who knows they may have altered times by then and stopped having to do set dining first. Not sure if it is a shortage of tables to turn over or waitstaff. I never actually thought to ask the wait staff on any of the sailings if they had done a set dining group first. Since they moved MTD to lowest floor level on this class of ship, due to high demand, I am used to the staff doing MTD with small section of dining room used for set dining. We have sailed on Adventure February, March, April - rest assured they are working on it and it is improving - may be great by the fall, although that will probably be a whole set of new staff!

Rare BennyBrun Posted May 15, 2022 Author #402 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Day 4 MDR I think even the server will tell you that 8:15 is the magical hour … I was starving today so I forgot to take a picture of my salmon and chicken before I dug into it… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniDanielle Posted May 16, 2022 #403 Share Posted May 16, 2022 We saw Paul Hughes on Anthem, he is excellent. He was all over the ship. He was on the phone with his wife a few times and handed it over so we could chat with her. Hope he makes it big! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that’s the thing … when you get new staff it takes time for them to get into the grove and that’s where you will run into a little growing pain. I can’t say enough how great my servers have been. They know what I want to have for dinner before I do lol… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be sailing her this August and as a first time Diamond cruiser. How do these 'offerings' work? Is this pre dinner & daily? Do you have to reserve a spot? Are drinks included? Would love a little intel lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love a little intel lol. Diamond lounge opens for happy hour at 4:30/5pm daily. They serve appetizers/little bites and there are a few waiters coming around to get you drinks. No reserving a spot, just drop in. They count any drinks you order towards your 4 daily vouchers. We like to go and meet new people. This August when we go unfortunately we are going to have to skip DL as we are traveling with DD and FIL who are emerald and gold, so in the interest of family harmony we will not abandon them. I might try to slip in once or twice for certain noshies, plus chocolate covered strawberries never go amiss 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a nice area to sit and chat with people and it is across from the suite lounge. Only one set of elevator in the back of the ship takes you all the way up to 14 otherwise you have to walk across from 12 to the back and then take the elevator up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Previous cruise the DL concierge was Denisse Reyes Guzman. She is new from Guest Services but very friendly and helpful. The DL and SL concierge change over every few weeks but I believe Rafael may be near end of contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still Denise and will be Denise for a while unless they are rotated to the suite lounge. She is very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
