Anyone else not into the dinner shows on new ships?

Never seen Pool Deck food places open until 9?

Just off the Wish and I believe Goofy's Grill stayed open until 10, but I think the others (definitely Donald's Cantina) closed at 6.

Just a couple examples from Fantasy:

I did not research how far back it goes. But it’s another reason why the Fantasy is the best ship…

We also are not interested in the dinner shows - new or old ones. We just sailed 15 nights on the Magic. 4 of those nights had some sort of Rapunzel show. Which meant that some assorted characters interrupted our dinner on all those nights. I honestly have zero interest in chatting with Flynn Rider. DCL needs a non interaction seating area!

And, so many of the seats in the dining rooms have a bad view of the stage that it’s hard to follow along if you get a bad table. If you were interested in the show!

I feel this in my bones. I know some of my extended travel group will be upset at me, but next time we do a cruise on a classic ship I am going to skip out on "family dinner" that night in favor of my wife and I just getting burgers from room service.

Clearly I need to stay up later and hang out on the Pool Deck! Great news . . . for late night munchies. Thanks!

Picture is different on different ships... and I expect even different itineraries. I know many in Southern Europe are use to eating really late to begin with.

But for the WISH in the Bahamas...




Late night snacking is limited...

A few years ago (even after COVID) on Dream (assume Fantasy would as well) they did do a small Late-Night Bar Buffet (finger food) in the District.

I think the newer ships are just designed to be less "late night".

It's absolutely ridiculous that the Cantina and BBQ - two of the biggest positives about the Wish - close so early.
