How does dining work on a five night cruise?

[TigerLaw]

We are doing a five night cruise on the fantasy in March that goes to Nassau, CC and LP. How will the dining work for those five nights? I imagine the rotational dining will be the same the first three nights but then what happens after that? I know there is a pirate night to work in there somewhere as well.

Thanks in advance for help!

Night 1 - Let the Magic Begin menu in all MDRs
Night 2 - Each MDR Signature menu
Night 3 - Each MDR Signature menu
Night 4 - Pirate menu in all MDRs
Night 5 - Each MDR Signature menu

Rotation most likely 12331

Forgot to ask before, what will animators be like if you get it more than one night?

Night 1 - Let the Magic Begin menu in all MDRs
Night 2 - Each MDR Signature menu
Night 3 - Each MDR Signature menu
Night 4 - Pirate menu in all MDRs
Night 5 - Each MDR Signature menu

Rotation most likely 11231

It can't be 11231. You'd eat the signature menu of restaurant #1 twice with that rotation.

@PrincessShmoo I'm also on a Fantasy 5-night in February. I had assumed the rotation would be 12331 (RC-AP-EG-EG-RC, AP-EG-RC-RC-AP, or EG-RC-AP-AP-EG)....with the first day being Let the Magic Begin, and the forth day being Pirate, each restaurant would get their standard MDR Signature the other nights.

Quite right. I'll correct that.

Pirate night for the second visit.

I think I remember a character from Nemo swimming “from screen to screen” around the room. No interaction, just something in the background. On the M&W, it would be just artwork in the “picture frames,” without the color change.

I did a 7 night on the Fantasy last November. Animator palate had a Nemo Turtle talk styled thing and you draw a stick figure and then they animate it the other time.

Yes, on cruises of 6 nights or more, Animator’s Palate typically does 2 separate shows because every guest will be there at least twice. On a 5-night cruise, there will only be 1 real show because some guests will visit only once.

I am interested in seeing what they do on my 6 night cruise in October. Previous navigators seem to be either both rotations or one rotation plus let the magic begin, pirates and see ya real soon.

If your cruise gets Pirate’s Night (for example, not Alaska), I would expect the 3 Rotation Menus + the 3 “unique” ones.

We have just come off the 5 night spain cruise on the Dream and we had EG, RP. RP. AP. EG.
Think pirate night was 2nd night.

I thought so but some seem to have both rotations (even with pirate night): https://disneycruiselineblog.com/20...m-galveston-ending-in-san-juan-april-14-2024/

Guess we will wait and see.

I did a 6 night last year and we didn’t have the Pirate night menu, just the normal 6 nights of rotational menu (so essentially like a 7 night but no Pirate Menu)

I did the 5 night Spain a few days ago. This was our Dining Rotations



As it was a 5 night cruise, not all 3 groups had Animators Palate twice. For those who had Animators Palate twice, one night was Crush, and then the other night was either Pirates or a normal menu, with no Crush and just various animations on the screens.

I want to say that the Dream and the Fantasy only do Animation Magic on a 7+ night sailing. Where you will do two MDRs twice and one three times.
