We had stayed for five nights in the French Quarter and originally had wanted to get to the pier around 10:30. After discussing this with some other CCrs we had met in town, we decided to take our time instead. We ended up at the pier around 11:30 and were easily on board by 12:00.
We found that our dining time was not what we had requested - 8pm. We were told that we could go to the Renoir dining room at 1:00 to try and adjust. We were there at the designated time and quickly changed our time to 8pm Monet.
We went to out room to take a peak (and drop items off) and it wasn't ready. The room steward was there and apologized for it not being ready. He explained that he had just then arrived on the ship. No problem, we decided to take a spa tour, ship tour, and get some food. Pizza was okay, but other items were not ready at the pizza station like the calzone and bread. We were told 12-15 minutes. This happened to us all three times we went for pizza.
