Hehe, maybe that is it!
Like I said, I'm hoping to get pleasantly surprised.


Technically, there is one more problem. in order to run a efficient àla carte, you need to have a (separate) reserved dining area. Taking orders, serving, cleaning all over the general area is going to take some serious walkabouts. And eating a well prepared and nicely plated meal in a lounge chair is probably not a very premium feel. But on the other hand, a separate dining area would consume some of the new seats they are getting because lounge is overcrowded.

You were at the presentation of the lounge, so I guess you have some insights? Separate area or table served in general lounge area?

( I think the answer to that also going to tell a bit about just how premium the service can be.)
