Well, fwiw, it changes often enough to keep us interested...never ate the same things twice, and usually didn't eat the same things anyway. Paper menus are ALWAYS available...we order off them every time. kept watching folks actually struggling with their stupid cellphones trying to order dinner....couple next to us saw our steady dinner waiter bring us paper menus without even asking (after the first nite)...I mouthed the words "ask him" to the wife, she did and of course got paper menus,,,now I read that they're going back to paper dailies...hmmmm.......anyway, we do "anytime dining"...but liked the table (and the wait staff) so much I toid the maitre' d to block it off for us EVERY DAY...he did, and we promptly cancelled two specialties we had booked...added it back as an OBC...noticed the "steak" they charge almost $50 to eat in the steakhouse costs $23 to eat in the dining room. One nite we even did lobster...great waiters..and we tipped them accordingly...once in the middle of the cruise, and again at the end...they were most appreciative...same thing happened to our breakfasts in the MDR...different table, blocked that off as well..but frankly, smaller tips for that. NOTE...you block off your time/table at the maitr d stand, or the maitre'd office on deck 5, your HUB will work differently....and faster....took a few days for it to sink in...
BTW, those tips...every nite we ordered 2-4 appetizers, 2 main courses, one nite I ordered 3, no additional charge, waiters didn't even blink...ate in the buffet a couple of times, but even then, we got to the "DELI" when it opened...not bad and no line...same with the pizza...head over there on port days, andf you'll have it all to yourself...the buffet itself was meh.....didn't miss it.
