I would even take better pool-side food as a dinner option (the Wish, excluded from what I hear). We have reached the place where we want an alternative to the MDR some nights, but the pool side food is pretty bad on most cruises. If they upgraded it to better options, with efficient service, that would be enough for us, although we would prefer a buffet like other lines. I get it though, it raises big food waste issues not knowing where people will show up for dinner.
Someone above mentioned the rotating servers. I have always liked that DCL does this, but I am curious to experience new servers each night on other lines. The rotating servers can be great if you get the right ones, but not so great if you are stuck with sub-par team for a week. It can also be a little tiring if you get super social servers, depending on whether you are in the mood for it, or if you have had a long day and just want to chat with the family and eat. The really good ones have been good at gauging the right times to be social. It such a hard job- serving, entertaining, and reading the needs of multiple groups of customers twice a night.
