The Spirit class triple length balconies make great dining areas in lieu of the lido area. 

 

When bestie and I cruised earlier this year and wanted to avoid Covid, we brought cafeteria trays like the Amazon ones linked above, procured all our food from buffet/Guy's/deli/pizza, and ate on our beautiful bowling alley balcony. Didn't miss the dining room one bit. ❤️

I for one really miss the trays! My DH has mobility issues so I generally get his food and mine. Without the trays I have to get whatever he wants then go back to the line and get mine. One of these days I’m going to find a tray that’s lightweight and fits well in my luggage!

 

 

That makes sense, and for parents that are dishing up food for the kiddos too.   Seems trays should be made available for those who need them.

Carnival can provide assistance for passengers in need. Just ask.

How much food are you taking??? Hold your food in one hand and his in the other. 

Lol, too bad not everyone is as smart as you.

Jockeying two plates through a buffet line is an option, but a tray would be a heck of a lot easier.  And sometimes there are small offerings in monkey dishes that would add to the juggling.  Folks need a tray to make it easier doesn''t seem like a big deal.  I'll bet one would be provided if requested.

And the flatware rolls?  And the beverages?

Flatware in your pockets....Beverages are balanced on your head

I bought quasi fast-food trays on Amazon.  They fit easily into my roller bag and as a side benefit offer some extra protection to wine bottles or a laptop.

Runs around $5 and come in a variety of colors and sizes... The 12x16s work for me, but they come slightly larger if needed.

Same exact ones are between 7.25-8.00 on EBay with shipping.  No need to spend 25 on Amazon.

I bought one from Amazon from this link for 6 dollars with shipping included. Good deal. Now I don't have to borrow the room service trays 😉

We use these at home and they are great + lightweight. These are like tupperware tough. And cheap!

They can be a little slick so we also use a layer of this to keep things from sliding around.

You certainly don't need a 20' roll of this, but the 12" width is about right. Only trimmed a little to fit (width).

 

I just weighed one and it comes in at 1 pound.

 

They have these "grips" at the $1.25 store, formerly known as the $1 store!!!
