Liz - I still think you might find that RSSC meal portions are very reasonably sized. I never felt like I was "pigging" out at dinner. So that should be a big help. You may find that you won't need a special request for smaller sizes. But, if you do, your idea is very, very smart. There are certain restaurants on land that I know it would help with. Ever eat at Claim Jumper? Now those are HUGE servings. I'll keep your idea in mind when I go there.

And you are right about the buffets. They are very dangerous. I found that after close to 3 weeks of having buffet breakfast (on our Navigator cruise plus the pre & post cruise hotel buffets), I was "hooked" on eating that way for breakfast. It was very hard to go back to normal eating after that trip. We need some good tips for how to handle the buffets. Any ideas anyone?

Trish - I'm just like you & Liz. If it's in front of me, it is so very hard to resist.
