I probably did a bad job at conveying how she did it, really the way it was done was actually perfect and set a great tone between us for the rest of the cruise and yes, with some they would have complained, but she would have gotten it if she insisted, I believe the way she did it was no, try this, if you don't like it, I will get you the other, but really she had already seen how we interacted with each other and matched our attitude, it made it quite perfect and the person got a much better dish. Basically, Mikla was saying it was a bad dish (in a way that wouldn't get her in trouble) and that there was a better option. Again, though we had some interaction prior and she was able to gauge what response would work, she was quite in tune with us and made the cruise, including the first night, as perfect as possible dining wise.
I can see how others would get offended by the way she did it even, but not our group, it was done perfectly for us.
