Finding out about dining rotations for TA

[Flounder89]

How early does DCL set their dining rotations for unique voyages like TAs? We are doing the EBTA next May and I would like to find out about the dining rotations and dinner themes in advance to book Palo and other things accordingly. I figured I can probably call ahead of time to find out, but does anyone how how much in advance they set their schedules? thanks

Hard to tell. I couldn't get a straight answer a month before the Wonder started Alaska this year (cruised on the 2nd week).

Our recent EBTA the rotation was 12312312312312. On our WBTA (14 night) t was the same. Our 15 night Panama Canal cruise was 123123123123123. OUr 14 night Hawaii was 12312312331231.

Not sure how far out they set the actual rotation, but the seating (table) assignments are usually done within 10-14 days of the cruise.

I believe the next EBTA is a 15 nighter, so it will probably be different.

Thank you, that is really helpful! I will probably just call before onboard booking starts and try to find out, but knowing about other rotations is a good start

On longer cruises like the EBTA there are usually no issues getting multiple Palo bookings, so once you are onboard and know your rotation (and can check all the extra menus via the app!) you can probably change then if there is a clash for you.
