Fall Break > part 4

I want to post today about the food service aboard the Disney Wonder.

INCREDIBLE!!!

If you choose to dine in the restaurants for your evening meal, they rotate you through 3 different ones - which were all wonderful!  You don't have to eat in the restaurants - you could choose to eat on Nassau (didn't have to be back on board until 7pm) or any of the several pizza, burger, chicken places on the top deck.  We chose to eat in the restaurants all four evenings and rotating with us was our entire serving staff.  We had the same waiter and assistant server every night.  And let me tell you, these two guys created so many wonderful memories for us!

This was taken on our second night in the restaurant Parrot Cay - it was Pirate Night!!

These two guys were fantastic at learning about their guests.  We'd come to dinner and 3 chocolate milks would already be on the table!  They did some magic tricks for the kids, did origami with the kids' placemats as well as challenged each table with brain teasers!  Our families all sat close to each other each evening - so it was fun to watch these guys interact with the whole family.

They even came out to sing when presenting T's parents with a Happy 45th Anniversary cake!

Our families (there was a mix-up the first two nights and Quintin sat with his cousins at T's sister's table - his cousins are 6 and 10 - he was in heaven!)

T's sister has 5 children - 12, 10, 6 and 4 year old twins.  This sister is closest in age to T, he's the baby of the family.

T's other sister, second oldest, also has 5 children, 21, 16, 14, 6 and a 1 year old that stayed at home with her paternal grandparents.

T's brother, the oldest, has 4 children, 16, 15, 11 and 9.

And then our little family of 4 before they moved Quintin back to our table at our request.

These pictures are also from my mother-in-law's camera and were taken on our second night - formal night.

Dinner was always a fun time and we shared lots of laughs together.  Even though the entire family didn't spend all day together, this was always a fun time we looked forward to. 

We learned from these men that they work 7 months straight and then have a month off.  They were counting down the days until their break beginning December 6.  Our head server has a 5 year old son in Peru and he could not wait to get home to see him.  It made us appreciate them all the more and the hard working ethic that they have.  These men were excellent at their job and had a fun time doing it!  I will be thinking of them on December 6 and their reunions with their families.
