This is true for sure. However our main server had been with DCL for 14 years . The head server was leaving in a month to be a head server on the Adventure. Not sure about our assistant as we saw twice on a 4 night cruise. I guess I would have expected DCL vets to be more personable and attentive to service like we had come to expect with DCL
) new employees...err...cast members to staff the dining rooms and staterooms, etc. So the "seasoned" cast member becomes harder and harder to come by. Also, if the rumors are true that Virgin Voyages regularly poaches DCL cast members, it makes it even that much worse.Yeah just reopen the buffet like before COVID when it was transformed at night into a sit down resturants... that seemed to be used for training. Now the train seems to be done in the main resturants, and with their new ships and turn over rate... that seems to be much to common now.
I wish they would do this! Dinner on DCL is actually a big negative for us and a reason why we have looked at other lines. I don’t like having a set dinner time every night, I don’t like maybe sharing a table with strangers, and I don’t like how the dining rooms are so crowded. Some times you just want to have a quick dinner at 6 pm (that’s not pizza or burgers) because that’s when you are hungry and not have to wait until 815 for a 90 minute dinner.
If I've said it once I've said it a million times, but the fact my wife and I hate dinner shows and would prefer at least one non-MDR dinner option other than a single pool deck option is why we've been exploring other cruise lines. I wish Disney had stuck with a single tame dinner show the way they used to have, instead of shoving a ton of noisy ones down our throat
Yes! It was so nice on our non DCL cruise this past summer to show up to dinner when we wanted and get a table to ourselves with a view of the water and not have serviced stopped for awhile while some show was going on.
r.e. bold -- if value for $$$ spent is important and *Disney
* takes a back seat to true relaxation, venturing out is wise.There is both palos and enchante. Excellent food and service. Why are people pretending these restaurants dont exist.
