Yes, Olivia only 15 days to go.

This cruise is with Patrick as Dining Room Manager (GREAT dining room manager) and he always has a special order of RAck of Lamb for me the night I board. He knows I love it and I always feel so special on the first night to start off with such a great meal.

I usually order a special order once on a cruise. Either Lamb or Dover Sole.

If everyone did it all the time then it would indeed be a nightmare for them. I think special evenings like birthdays or anniversaries are wonderful for people to have their "special favorites".

Things like Arlenes ice cream are not really any hardship at all and there is a definite desire to please on board and I think they are more than happy to honor these requests.

People who abuse it though by ordering special things every single night I do think are going "over the top" and I would not think that with the wonderful menus and variety they offer that this should be necessary.
