pennib Posted March 26 #4 Share Posted March 26 In my humble opinion, all mdrs should have tablecloths and proper napkins. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG&Lcruisingnewbies Posted March 27 #5 Share Posted March 27 Ok, I’m going to ask…. why does one have tablecloths and the other not? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesea Posted March 27 #7 Share Posted March 27 I board Arvia on Sunday. I'll ask! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanCruise Posted March 27 #8 Share Posted March 27 It's just a styling decision. The other has tables with place mats. They both serve the same food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Megabear2 Posted March 27 #9 Share Posted March 27 Really don't like this no table cloths thing as ridiculous as it is I felt less special in the one without. Shock horror, I've just seen a mention on the Cunard board that there appears to be a dearth of table cloths in the mock ups for Queen Anne. Standards, sir, standards!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bin man Posted March 27 #10 Share Posted March 27 It feels strange not to have the tablecloths but I guess it saves on the environment and costs and when I think of home we never use a tablecloth only mats so shouldn't seem that odd I suppose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG&Lcruisingnewbies Posted March 27 #11 Share Posted March 27 Im dyspraxic. It’s true I usually spill something that stains on a tablecloth but getting rid altogether because of messy people like me sounds a little extreme 😂 I’m just going to wreck the tabletops now! 🤦🏼♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doog442 Posted March 27 #13 Share Posted March 27 Having eaten in both Meridian and Zenith recently we didn't even notice what was on the table. I do recall one waiter trying to be quite artistic with his crumb cleaner on one occasion so I guess we were in Zenith that night. Third world problems I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JG&Lcruisingnewbies Posted March 29 #20 Share Posted March 29 every time I see someone mention on the P&O forum about attracting ‘different type of clientele’ or mention the ‘decline in type of clientele’, which is often, I have a debate with myself to try and work out if I’m in that category. 🤔 i know that many of you are just joshing around. It still gets me thinking i have a child, travel in school holidays, like the newer ships, not loyal to one particular cruise line, and no longer own a tablecloth, so probably. Ah well 🤷♀️ husband doesn’t own a wife beater vest though so we’re not that bad😂 😜 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been in some Spoons where the clientele was a bit rough around the edges, but so was the neighbourhood they were in. And I have been in plenty of Spoons where the clientele was pretty upmarket, but again so was the neighbourhood they were in. So to use Spoons as a descriptor might reveal more about the area you live than you might wish to! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
