Thank you all so much. I am dining alone so hopefully that may make it a bit easier. I do want to try some of the new items in the MDR so I am reading each and every review, good and bad. I know food should not be so important, but to me it is. The ports I have been to, I am not going to be competing in any belly flop contests. For me, having an ocean view balcony, a place for a few martinis or champagne and good food is why I chose to cruise. That and the 22 people I am traveling with, 11 of them children but I honestly can’t handle the chaos and crowds in the MDR on Allure.
