Butter dish refused

Anyone asked for the butter dish to be left on the table in the dining room, I asked twice on different nights but refused.

Did you ask the server why?

Guess you will have to request a whole bunch of pats on your own plate.

Sort of, he then just mumbled and smiled.

Just ask for 20 pats.

I think there was Red Level on ruby recently.

Salt and pepper was out, along with the bread

We were just on the Pacific and the butter dish was on the table at every meal.

I probably would have been better off if it hadn't been there. :o

We had 2 dishes of butter on our table of 7 on the Caribbean over New Year's....maybe that's where your dish went? Someone currently on the Ruby is also reporting no butter on the tables and, more shockingly, no strip bacon in the buffet....the horror! :p

Something new to add to all of those "must have on a cruise" lists. Bring your own butter. :rolleyes:

I know right.

Just tell your waiter and assistant waiter there will be no 'Excellent' marks on the post-cruise survey if the butter dish does not remain. Should be at least four or five on the table the next night.

You still get butter, its the butter dish you need to bring......:D

I'm sorry ,were you in Club Class? No ....well there you go, NO BUTTER FOR YOU!:D

We had the same experience on Crown Princess in November. We asked the waiter to leave the butter dish on the table and she said she couldn't. We asked why and all she said was "it was policy." It was a non-issue for us or we would have pursued it further. You could have as much as you wanted but she just couldn't leave it on the table. My guess is that since you can't serve anything again once it has been on the table they probably are not throwing out nearly as much butter :confused:.

Well as others have been saying, you get what you pay for..

How dare people expect extra butter without paying extra! huh!!:rolleyes:

Maybe they can't leave the butter dish because people touch other pieces of butter with their hands and it's not sanitary.

Who touches the butter with their hands? We have little butter knifes ...

In 26 cruises I have never seen anyone touch the butter with their hands..hog the bread basket yes, but never touch the butter on the table with their hands.

Guess we have been lucky:)

I always ask for the dish to remain as I like butter with my cheese plate NEVER been refused - actually they replenish the dish for me You were unlucky Perhaps you did not explain why you wanted it?

Butter dish also not left on the table on our Regal sailing. But did get served for more butter after asking.

On our last couple of cruises there has been no butter dish on the table. The assistant waiter serves it, but unfortunately, this wasn't as soon as we wanted it. When I politely asked why the dish wasn't left on the table, the response was "Service, Ma'am". :)

On another cruise, one of our table companions loved to eat butter. Just butter. He had the assistant waiter bring him a plate with 12 pats of butter that he would eat, one after the other. :eek:

This is an issue of cutting back on waste. If a butter dish is on the table after the meal is finished, the remaining contents must be thrown out. If you want more butter they will always give you more. At the beginning of the meal, I ask for the amount of butter patties that I think I will need for the entire meal.

This isn't about waste. It's about High Cholesterol!!! Princess is trying to get you in shape. Wait until the Medallions are in use and they are tracking your fried food intake. MDR will only have poached chicken breasts and steamed broccoli. Buffet will have only Rice Cakes.

Just curious, I wonder if they do this in the specialty restaurant's . I mean you know to avoid waste!
