Why switching to late dining might not be in my favour? I have main dining now but seriously considering switching to late. My understanding is that it shouldn't be an issue since many would prefer main to late.
At first DH really wanted main for the kids but I almost convinced him that it could be in our favour. The kids could eat a small meal at the buffet, pool deck or room service before the show, watch the show or do activities like Aquaduck and then go to the MDR where they will leave at the kid club when done. That way we will be able to enjoy our meal just the two of us without being rushed. The kids didn't have a chance to go to the kids club when we went on our first
DCL cruise (it was only a 4-night cruise) but this time they asked to go so we will gladly let them since this cruise is also to celebrate our 20th anniversary.
