Great, I agree that traditional works best with a group!! I also love
your "meet and greets" between the two dinner times.
As I just said to Nonny, when we travel along, we love having the same
table mates everynight. I also like that we don't have to "discuss" what
time we want to go to dinner. I much rather set it up when we book the
cruise.
I just hope that the mainstream cruise lines will continue to offer
tradition dining.
