Dining Rotation for Western Caribbean

[phinz]

I've done an extensive search and I can't find a definitive answer to this, and the Navigators don't do much to solve the quandary either, so I guess I need to start another thread. If you know me at all, you know I hate new threads for questions that have already been asked, but since I've exhausted my other outlets here goes:

I'm preparing our email to Concierge to send at midnight tonight and I'm wondering what the standard rotation is for the dining rooms on a non-Star Wars Western Caribbean on the Fantasy. Our itinerary is:

PC
Sea (I'm sure this is formal night)
Cozumel (Pretty sure this is Pirate Night)
Grand Cayman
Falmouth
Sea
CC

The only reason I care is because we are trying to schedule Remy for something other than formal night, as the last two times we've done it on formal night my wife has not done so well, since she's still getting her sea legs (sea belly, to be honest). My wife loves Enchanted Garden, we don't want to miss either of the Animator's Palate show and we really couldn't care less about Royal Court. We're trying to get a rotation where Enchanted Garden is three nights and where one of our Royal Court nights is our Remy night.

So, the question is, on this itinerary, is the rotation usually 1231231, or is it some wacky variant where you back-to-back a dining room, like 1231123?

Thanks in advance.

We just had that itinerary, and our rotation was RAERAAE - formal night on 2nd night, and Pirate Night on the 5th night. "Optional Dress-up" on the 6th night

Thanks. The problem is, they don't tell you whether they are A, B or C anymore on the disneycruise site, or at least I can't find it. Judging by this, though, it looks like we will be on what is considered a C itinerary, which completely screws things up because we don't want to do Remy on a night with a port the next day, but the only other night before a sea day other than the first night (no bueno for mizzphinz) is pirate night, which we never miss. Lord, I'm missing the extra sea day right now.

I'm just going to put the request in, telling them to schedule it for the second Royal Court night and hope for the best. If all else fails, I'll just fix it when we get onboard. Thanks everybody!

I'm pretty sure that the itinerary with Falmouth is "C". That's what's indicated in the information I posted "Western C [w/ Jamaica]"

What about the AERAEER rotation? It puts you in Enchanted Garden 3X and Royal Court on their Signature Menu night and the final night. Not sure why you don't want to do Remy before a port day, but, if it's just due to the fancy food (and a late night), the scheduled time into Grand Cayman (day 4) is 10:30 (a bit later than most ports).

 

[phinz]

I'm going to go with the RAERAAE and just do Remy on Grand Cayman night. I don't even know if we'll bother tendering in to the island, so that would make it easier for us. Jamaica is basically a shopping area with a Margaritaville anyway, so it's not like we'll be getting in a bus and traveling elsewhere on an excursion. And yeah, it's the rich food combined with a late night that leaves us avoiding such events before days when we might want to do something other than stay close to home.

So this is going to be our second cruise, how do you know which rotational schedule you will get before getting on the ship? We have itinerary C in two weeks.

You don't know your dining rotation (or table number) until you check in at the port. You can call and request a rotation, but it's only a request. Concierge guests can request a rotation, and will usually get it.

Email sent. I'll report back on what happens.

I received an email back. My RAERAAE, 4th night Remy request has been placed.

 

[phinz]

Checked my reservations a few minutes ago. Remy is scheduled for 4th night. Pirate night is Falmouth night.

Lobster is on the Captain's Gala menu.

So what is the order of things if you have the rotation with 3nights at AP? It looks like Crush is always the first night in AP, but what is done on the second and third night in AP? Wondering when the animation/draw activity occurs and what the additional night's activity is. Thanks! We have a 7 night Western on the Fantasy, Jamaica itinerary 10/15-22.

For us, second Animator's night of three was Pirate Night. There wasn't really a show. Just rotating pictures, etc. on the screens. The third night was the big finale night.

thanks that is good to know for our inlaws reservations at Palo are pirate night and if they missed the AA show for it they would be bummed.
