No more table mates on DCL

I often ask for multiple appetizers or even entrees - I want to try it all! The only time I ever got any grief about it was at Palo dinner. We each ordered a beef entree and wanted to share the chicken parm... he said no. We thought it was a joke at first but he was serious....

I'm shocked they let anyone go without the chicken parm. We told our waiter we DIDN'T want it and he brought it anyway.

We have just the one child and were seated with a family of 5. Their son loved being able to talk to ours instead of his two sisters. Large families are the norm here so we're the ones who get comments on family size. And it's not always voluntary, so you're not always being judged.

I totally understand! I was on a RCCL cruise to Alaska with a group of runners, and one couple was vegan so their dishes were prepared specially by the chef each night. By night 2 we were all contemplating being vegan for the rest of the week their stuff looked so good.

Back in the 80s and 90s, when you still received hot meals on airplanes, listing yourself as vegetarian was a reliable way to get much better looking food.

Lol. That’s something I had never considered.

That would be at brunch, not at dinner. The chicken on the Palo dinner menu is rosemary roasted.

For one thing, even with one large table it isn't like the people on the two ends of it can talk to each other, you can only talk to the people near you. Whereas if the second table is next to you, you might actually be able to talk to more of them.

Excellent point!

Yep, back in the day my mother always requested a kosher meal for all of us for the same reason.

Actually, I did this in the 90s, hoping for a nice pasta dish. I received boiled spinach. I do like spinach, but what a let down lol. no side of rice even.

How and when do you ask for a private table? I’m an ogre and am on vacation with my family. I’m not interested in having conversations with or getting to know others.[/QUOTEjust did this. Go to DCL site. Go to “contact us” tell them you would like a private table. Went through in just a few minutes.
