Hi Nonny,

Ah yes, enjoying the Skytubes® attraction along with a Super Combo and
free refills on soft drinks. What more could we ask for? :+)
Been there, done that with the world's cutest granddaughter.

Ray, when our kids were little, we visited ChuckECheese precisely 2
times before both the kids and we tired of it. Now, however, I take
great enjoyment of listening to our son and his wife describe their
visits to it with their own children. Our granddaughers absolutely love
the place, however, and since one of the birthdays almost coincides with
an anniversary, the kids now celebrate both at ChuckECheese. grin

Hi Dory,

The bread is served in this manner in many European restaurants.

The rest of the meal was
comical. 4 waiters brought the main course to our table and (after a
silent nod) in unison removed the large silver domes. This was
performed like a ballet.

This is done in upscale European restaurants.

Best regards,
Ray

I agree with Ray (doesn't that make you feel more secure Ray? ).
The silver dome thing is an European thing. I've seen it in several
of the finest restaurants in Paris.

I've always been uncertain about tipping in ships' alternative
restaurants. Is service included in the price of the restaurant?

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the verification that I am not completely crazy (only
partially). :+)
As far as tipping in the specialty restaurants, it really varies by
cruise line so there is not one correct answer.

Best regards,
