I'm with you - I'd rather just have dinner with my sweetie. We are on vacation to be together, something that is extremely rare for us at home because of our schedules. The thought of being stuck at a table with some blowhard who won't shut up or someone who talks with their mouth full makes me queasier than any rough seas could. I know everyone keeps saying that we'll be missing out, blah, blah, blah, but I think that's a personal opinion. It depends on how social you are. Personally, I'm not terribly social. I'm going to be on vacation and I want to enjoy my sweetie, not someone else.
Great resource here. I'm about half way through this thread. Please forgive me if this has been addressed.
First time wanna cruisers. We're geezers with some health and emotional issues. We love dining in a restaurant. On a cruise we'd like to dine with each other. Being with each other is why we want to do a cruise. We really don't want to have dinner with strangers. Sorry if this sounds bad. It seems that the included dining options are with others.
Are our perceptions correct? If so, are there alternatives (other than additional charges)?
