Creator's Key Takeaways

I cringe every time I see people doing that in the Leo dining room. What the heck is wrong with people? It's just disgusting.

If we cruise without the kids on the first day, we always go to the main dining room and check out our table to make sure we have a table for two, and we asked to change it if not.

We did a cruise a long time ago with two other couples at our table, and they were very annoying. So, we ended up not going to the last three dinner nights, which was not great.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Mix up your dining schedule and reserve a quieter specialty restaurant to avoid loud announcements and applause.

✓Be prepared to order all three courses at once when your waiter takes your order.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Ordering all courses at once — Be prepared to order appetizer, main course, and dessert simultaneously; waiter can return if needed.

Sharing a table with strangers — Check your table assignment and request a change if you prefer a private table.
