Why didn't you just show up when you wanted to eat? (asks someone who still does ATD without entering anything in DMW but also gets same table 90% of time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generichandle Posted June 9, 2022 #52 Share Posted June 9, 2022 We went on 34 day SA trip, and about 75% of passengers were elite! We skipped over to the 'normal' lines and were among the 1st to board. LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were 3rd MTP on 2 Emerald cruises b2b. Wasn't expecting that so nothing packed remotely formal - just what we wore to the luncheon. The L&E Manager insisted we go but I felt underdressed. Ladies at least had their "Sunday best" and men with at least a shirt and tie. Due to Covid, you met the Captain and had pictures before the doors opened and only stood at your chair when they announced the top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(asks someone who still does ATD without entering anything in DMW but also gets same table 90% of time) Because we wanted to be guaranteed of having the same servers & table for two we had during the first week of our B2B cruises at 1800. On the 2nd cruise it was changed to 1700 despite the staff at the entrance stating nothing would change. Our options were to have the same staff & table for two at 1700 or another dining room at 1840 or later at a shared table. It was our attempt to as closely as possible recreate the missing traditional dining experience which with DMW is quite challenging. Our reservations were made 9 months in advance & were there until boarding when both weeks were changed due to the unreliable DMW system…does that address your confusion.

We have probably been to at least 10 MTP lunches and I have never worn a tie. Heck I don’t even bring a tie anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shirt and tie is now my husbands formal attire with black dress pants which he only wears if we think we will be in top 3. Other than that function , we skip anything with the word formal attached to it or even the MDR Edited June 9, 2022 by coo359a2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Shelly97060 Posted June 9, 2022 #57 Share Posted June 9, 2022 As mentioned Elite canapé typically have an order form that you fill out the night before indicating which ones you would like and delivery time. However, I am currently on Caribbean Princess and instead of Canapé we have been receiving 4 small chocolates each formal night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
