asking for a window table

[brneyes]

I failed to mention that I will ask for a smaller table next time, like 6 or 8, as 10 is really to large of a table to comunicate back and forth with the people.

Speaking of changing to first seating, that was one reason why one of the couples were not with us much. They said they discovered that they couldn't wait until 8:30 to eat.

The reason we take the late one is it gives us plenty of time after a tour, etc. to clean/rest up.

Sometimes they would have the musical shows earlier for the people who had the late seating, and that made it nice, so people wouldn't be so late getting back to their rooms.

brneyes,
I thought that you still had to tip the waiter whether you make it to dinner or not. You have to think that they also work the windjammer picking up empty plates, cleaning tables,etc. I could not take a tip away from my waiter who is there in the dinning room waiting for me to come in regardless if I show up or not. I would just tip extra to those waiters at the specialty restaurant for a job well done. I hope you had a great cruise. Have you already booked your next one? Give us a little review of your cruise. We'll appreciate it.

Nica, what a strange name, but I'm saying this in a nice way. The reason I say this I had a class friend from grade school that had that name, and she was a very special person.

Yes, that is true what you said, and I really didn't think of it at the time, but I don't know how those other people (buffet/sandwich/pizza areas) would receive compensation from the tips. Hopefully they will spread it out to everyone.

I do have a few mintues, so I will try to do a report on my trip.
