The food is absolutely wonderful. I'm not sure about whether you can routinely order multiple entrees. During our recent trip on the Dream I was given two entrees twice... without asking for them either time. Once the waiter knew I really loved seafood so in addition to what I ordered he brought me an order of the Sea Bass because it was a favorite of his and he wanted me to try it. Another time I raved about the Rack of Lamb at the Royal Palace so without asking he brought me a second serving of it without my asking. I thought I'd never be able to eat it all, but it was so delicious that I'm embarrassed to admit that I did! The other couple that had been assigned to our table never showed up the entire trip... I imagine they were perhaps intimidated by the rather sophisticated menus and chose to eat elsewhere on the ship. I thought that was perhaps the reason I was able to get more than one entree... they had extra available for our table. But if you've heard from others that you can get more than one entree it maybe is a more common practice than I assumed.

I can make my Palo ressie on Dec 5th (Walt's birthday!) Can't wait!!

This time I talked her into always trying something... I said if she didn't like it she didn't have to eat it. The waiter went a step further, saying if she didn't like what she ordered he'd bring her something else. I was proud of her... she ordered an appetizer every night and loved it! Once she was uncertain about the Iced Lobster and Jumbo Shrimp. She loves lobster but wasn't sure about it being cold. She tried it and it was one of her favorite things on the trip! Have you checked out the menus at the Disney Cruise Line website? I get hungry just looking at them! Here is a link to the Royal Palace on the Dream... my favorite restaurant ever! <a href="http://disneycruise.disney.go.com/ships-activities/ships/dream/dining/royal-palace/" target="_blank">http://disneycruise.disney.go....-palace/</a>

If that was no appy and 2 entree's that was fine or just appys or any combination. A few times we ordered dessert for our 2 year old from the adult menu because there was a fruit option that wasnt on the kids menu. like road trip said, it is a great opportunity to try new things without the risk of being hungry as you can always change your mind =) Enjoy your trip, you will have a blast !
