We had late dining so the family got ready for the show and dinner, The show on the first night was Golden Mickey. I did not go to this one since I saw it last year but DD and the kids enjoyed it.
Getting ready for the show and dinner.
While they were gone to see the Golden Mickey, I relaxed and enjoyed the view from the Verandah.
I got this nice sunset .
Our dining rotation was RAE
Our dining team was: Leslie - Server, Hendro - Assistant Server and Ali - Head Server.
I forgot to note that our Stateroom Host was Nesh. We were very impressed with him.
We requested a table for just our family but we had a table with 3 tablemates. They were a friendly group. It was a mother, DD and a friend of the mother‘s. The DD and my DGN were the same age so they hit it off right away. The mother and my DGN changed seats so the girls could sit together. They would become really good friends the rest of the cruise.
The serving team was really good with keeping the kids entertained but were lacking as far as serving. Ali was the best of the group and he was the Head Server. When he introduced himself to our table, he asked which family was doing a b2b. He told us that if was anything that we needed to let him know and that he would make sure that we were in his rotation. Our server was getting off of the ship for a few months at the end of the cruise so we knew we would not have the same team. That was fine with us.
On the first night we let the server know that DGN and our tablemates DD were participating in the Oceaneer’s Club Dine and Play. They were slow bringing their food which caused them to miss dessert.
On the next night, most of our table missed the second course. I order the Black Truffle Pasta Purseittes for both my first and second course. I got both orders at the same time. The problem was that the rest of the family did not get a second course. Nobody noticed until later on.
The girls did finish their meal before going to the club on the second night. On the last night me and our tablemate took them to the club when they finished dinner because once again them missed out.
DD thought after the first night she should not need to request booster seats. Last year after the first night, our servers had the high chairs and the kids drinks already on the table when we arrived.
Dinner was delicious each night. Our meal for the first night in Royal Palace
Me - Spinach Souffle, Garden Salad, Angus Grilled Beef Tenderloin and Peanut Butter Mousse
DD - Glazed Duck Breast, French Onion Soup, Angus Grilled Beef Tenderloin and Sweet Temptations
DGD and DGS - Honeydew Melon Boat, Mac and Cheese and a Mickey Bar
DGN - Honeydew Melon Boat and Chicken Strips
After dinner, we walked around the ship taking pictures until it was time to get the little ones ready for bed. I let DGN stay at the club until about 11:30. The only problem was that she did not want to get up the next morning.
DGN doing what she does best, running her mouth.
