IMHO, those little things can and do happen on any cruise.  I&#39;ve had the table busing thing at times on a half dozen different cruise lines.  Sounds like to Room Stewart was just trying to make his own life easier.  A word to the Hotel Manager would have made that problem go away more quickly.  We are looking forward to our sailing on her.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br />I agree Ed that these minor things do happen but I&#39;ve never had the problem with the bussing of tables before. Usually they try to take your dishes away before you are done eating. My next step with the room steward <i>was</i> going to be the Hotel Manager. I did mention a few things on the comment card also. I hope they really read those things.<br /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br />And dont give the room steward a tip upfront because they will think they wont get anymore and your Cabin Service will go downhill&#33; <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":unsure:" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> And on the Trays at the Buffet and Dining Room they are trained to take them at a certain time for the next course. me or annie have to sit and watch ours at the buffet if one of us gets up for some more water or tea, We never see the guy with the Tea cart hes usually talking to someone&#33;&#33; <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes2:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
