7 Night Eastern Dining Rotation ??

[Loveysmommy]

Is there a "better" dining rotation? Are the formal nights "Formal" in all restaurants? If we wanted "Formal" night in Lumiere's (everyone seems to want that - no?) what would my rotation be and is this necessarily the preferred rotation??

Sorry for all the questions - I'm new to this!
It is me, DH, and DD (6).

Thanks!

If you want to be in Lumieres on formal night and Parrot Cay on tropical night then you want PLA rotation. We requested this when we cruiseg - me, DH, and DD7 at the time. We got the rotation we requested but we had also requested late seating and go that too. I think only the very educated that read this board are really aware of the different rotation options. The CM that took our request was surprised that we knew.

But yes, on formal night all dining rooms are formal and on tropical night all dining rooms are tropical.

Hope this answers your questions.

PLA rotation is great in the fact that you have tropical night in Parrot Cay and one of the formal nights in Lumiere's.

I am not one to enjoy dressing up too much and I actually found LAP rotation to work out best for us! The first night in L was embarkation day and it was casual in all of the dining rooms including Lumiere's. The next night in L was tropical night and also casual. The atmosphere is made to feel very tropical with island music and decorations that I didn 't even mind being in L for tropical night. Our last night in L was the final evening of the cruise. Our luggage had to be gotten ready to place in the hallway so our servers told us to dress casually again! Here I was all worried over getting put in L for THREE nights and having to dress up too much -- and it was probably the LEAST amount of dressing up required.
