johnny75 Posted February 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Great ,more bad service ships. No tablecloth, one fork ,no teaspoons, a giant bread basket and a gallon of drippy water on your uncovered table. Waiters now have permission to leave the dirty dishes on the table until the next course is served. You have to ask for a clean fork for the next course. My experience was like this on the Breeze. Just like Dennys!!! What happened to fine dining? Maybe we could pay more for the traditional service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13cheermom Posted February 5, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Disappointed to hear this, was hoping to enjoy the old menus one last time on the Sunshine in April. :( Now gotta figure which night to do the specialty restaurants with the new menu, let's start all over again. Ugh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the bread basket wasn't left on the table (I wish) - the waiter brought it around intermittently. Do not like the American Table at all. I can eat "American" at home for better and far cheaper.

johnny75 Posted February 7, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Keep the menu for AT. Bring back the tablecloths, and the proper silverware. Get rid of the water pitcher and the giant bread basket. Then AT will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namelocg Posted February 7, 2016 #8 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'll be on the first Sunshine sailing with the AT menu. We'll see how it works out. The menu is OK but preferred the old menu on Splendor week before last. No cappuccino pie on the AT menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMRPHRN Posted February 7, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I was on the Glory in October. I do miss the tablecloths (they had them on elegant night) but I found the menu to be enjoyable and the service superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantocruisemore Posted February 7, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 7, 2016 We really like the new menu, plenty of choices. And I was one that was very skeptical before I tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Dennys!!! What happened to fine dining? Maybe we could pay more for the traditional service. We did the Breeze over Christmas and the service was good for us, but did hear complaints from others about it. We had rocky seas, and without the tablecloth, wine bottles and things would slide across the table when the ship rolled. It wasn't even really heavy rolls/pitches that did it. You had to make sure some items were blocked in so they wouldn't slide. I don't think that is something they took into account. My wife liked having the water pitcher on the table! She could refill her glass when she pleased, rather then hoping someone would come around to fill it for her (which didn't always happen in the past).

crusinpsychRN Posted February 7, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Heald's fb page has tons of negative remarks about AT. Plenty of those respondents aren't on CC. People beg him to take this up with the beards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABQrobin Posted February 7, 2016 #20 Share Posted February 7, 2016 We had American Table and loved it. We love the "Ports of Call" items. As far as the table cloth issue.... our last cruise they had table cloths, nice and white, on formal night. Five minutes into dinner and someone spilled a whole glass of red wine across the middle of the table.... lovely stain, staring at us the rest of dinner. Yeah, that was special.

jacmo24 Posted February 7, 2016 #21 Share Posted February 7, 2016 We've really enjoyed everything about AT. Port of Calls menus are really great. The pasta dishes are delicious. Our service has been incredible. Love the bread and water on the table. We've had AT on three ships now. All three have been fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brilliantseas Posted February 7, 2016 #22 Share Posted February 7, 2016 11 cruises booked on Carnival since 2008. Guess who just booked their first Royal Caribbean cruise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLee1973 Posted February 7, 2016 #23 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Had AT for the first time last weekend on the Imagination. The table cloth doesn't bother me, but I have to say, I prefer the old menus. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
