The first day at sea would bring my family, and many others, the character breakfast. As we walked into the breakfast at Parrot Cay, we were greated by a man in a white suit named, Wira.. He took us to a table to be seated and then our head server and assistant server ( the same ones we have had so far) came out to us to explain breakfast and the process. We were told that the characters would be by and that we would see them at some point so not to worry. Not long after, we were asked about our drinks and then given time to look at the menu. I can tell you that in many ways, I would have just rather skipped breakfast. It is really the least enjoyable meal on the ship. Its a bit of a shame, because later in the week we would find out not all breakfasts are bad. The head server took our order I think some english muffins, pancakes, eggs... your normal fare.
Then the characters came out. The first was
Chip and Dale
Etc,etc
You get the idea. We got our food during this time. The English muffins and something else didn't make it to our table and considering the dinner service we had before, I just understood that this is the way dinning was going to be. Before we had a chance to say hello, he asked us if we were the Boul Family. To my wife and I surprise, we told him that was correct. He then told us that he was aware of our situation from the night before and offered his sincere apology. I told him, That there were 2 mishaps and that is ok now.
He then said,one night of bad service is one thing. But two nights is completely unacceptable. In fact, if one really is. Wira went on to explain that he would get a smaller table for our service later on and that he will be taking care of us. I asked him who he was, and he explained that he was a head server and in charge of those under him. (btw the servers we had were not in his section) We then asked about my wife's allergies and to tell him what had happened so far.
It was sorta weird as we wanted to get out day started, but your couldn't help but enjoy his company. Wira came off very warm, sincere, and genuine. We didn't plan on talking to him as long as we did. After spending about 30 minutes with him, he asked us if there is anything that we could want just ask. I looked at my wife and her back at me and we both agreed there was nothing. We had explained to him that my wife order her meal for the tonights dinner service last night, and that we were pretty sure there was nothing more to think of.
I could tell my wife really wanted to get started with our day and so did my kid. He was DYING to get to the pool. As we said goodbye, I remembered one thing I saw on the boards or on All Ears about the CM being from another country. My wife's family is from the Medditeran. That said, do to a lot of things I'm not willing to go into, she hasn't had any of her home foods in a long time. I remember a CM say that overtime, some times Cms can get some of this food and bring it to your room for room service. When I mentioned this to Wira, he questioned us about what type of foods is she a fan of. Stuffed Grape Leaves I said off the top of my head. He then asked us about some other types of food, Stuffed cabbage, Chicken Curie, Kifta, to name a few. Wira told us that sometimes requests can be made like that. He said that he wasn't sure about it, but that he would look into it, and at the worst may be he could talk someone into something.
We thanked him again. He reassured us things would be different VERY different when we return in the evening. My wife and I left him, after we said our 'goodbyes' again. My wife said one thing to me. She said, I really hope he doesn't try making those grape leaves. My mom makes the best ones and hers are homemade. I just don't really want anyone except those. If they did make them, and they are ot as good, I would feel horrible about it. I told her it was just a request and like Wira had said, it may not even happen.
We split up. She headed to explore the ship and I took DS to the pool like I had promised
