Has anyone ever used the same waiter for breakfast and dinner?

We did and it was the best. By day 2 we had a table for two every morning for breakfast and loved it. So we got to see our waiter 13 times instead of just 7 dinners.

Used to have the same table and waiter for lunch...but they did away with that when they went to open seating lunch. Not enough people going to the dining room for lunch I guess. We've had a waiter or two that have told us...come at this time or that time and I'll seat you at your own table and wait on you. Not all of the waiters do this though...or they'd be back to regular seating. ;) We really do miss the extra time with our waiter...we got to know him/her much better then.

This last cruise we had the same water we had on a cruise 2 years earlier.

He was the best!

We had an amazing waiter on my last cruise. Every morning that we ate breakfast in the dining room we asked to be sat in his section. The last day of the cruise we were in a different section (next to his) and he came over to talk to us and helped serve us. I would love to have him again on another cruise!

We never actively sought out the dinner waiter, but we've had him see us in line and come and walk us to a table by a window.

There aren't a lot of evening waiters in the dining room for b'fast and lunch...so it wouldn't be likely that you'd have the same one for all three meals during your cruise. Most of them are on duty in the Lido buffet area during the day.

 

Only a small portion of the dining room is available during the first two meals of the day. A far cry from the earlier days of cruising, when 'your' table was yours throughout the cruise at all three meals. I do like having the same waiter, but very rarely do.

On the second day of our cruise we were surprised to see our dinner waiter at breakfast. It was very nice as he knew our daughters' names. It was just a coincidence though and didn't happen again the rest of the cruise.

On our recent Carnival cruises the breakfast and lunch in the dining room have been open seating. They do this to have fewer tablecloths and place settings to clear and reset. I suppose that saves on tablecloths to wash as well. My wife and I only saw our waiter at dinner because of this.
