Main Dining Room on Legend

[dsfitz]

Just had our first meal in the MDR.   New to us anyway is they use electronic ordering instead of paper   drinks came in 5 minutes, appetizers right after that    entrees came in 15 minutes    fastest we've ever seen   food was hot and very good

This is good to hear. We're on in three weeks. Have a safe and wonderful cruise.

Meaning they take the order using a tablet or something at the table?

[dsfitz]

Yes they do   it looks like an iphone

We initially saw it on Radiance back in November. We saw it again on our 2 week Journeys in January.

Interesting, so you just order through the tablet? Just to clarify, no waiter to take orders?

No the waiter takes the order using the device   sorry I wasn't clear about that   same waiter setup as before   the waiters have the devices to submit the orders electronically

Very interesting, I love it. Anything to speed up the service. Although I don't mind the leisurely pace of the MDR I know lots of folks prefer a quicker meal.

They started in this past year.  The Legend was one of the test ships.  Have not experienced the “quick” times the op has but it works well.  Some of the waiters were struggling with the adaptation.  Sure it is better now.

Yeah, early on it took some time for them to know where the selection was on various screens on their tablet. This was especially true with specific wines. With repetition they'll be fine.

agreed.  That cruise we had an older waiter, he was really struggling... seemed a little better by end of cruise.

Had that on Spirit last month.  I was surprised when on the first night the waiter walked up and said "Good evening, mayor."

The device has the pictures of all the people assigned to that table   there was someone who said they were switched to a different table but the device didn't have them seated there so it didn't work
