can someone help me understand dining for the cruise?
I read that each night we will rotate to one of the 3 main restaurants on the ship. So as i understand, we will start in one of the three and move night to night throughout the cruise, got it, very clear.
correct
but, if we are on an excersion until say 6:45 and we have main seating, what happens? Do we miss our dining and then just go to one of the causual or quick service restuarants when we return to the ship?
generally if you're late back you'll miss your seating. It'll depend what time you get back. If its just a small bit late they'll let you go in, if not you can go to topsiders (for sit service with a salad buffet) the quick eat places or room service
what if we get back at 5:45? Do you think we will still be able to make our regular dining or do you think we will have to eat elsewhere?
as above - if you can get to dinig room only a little late they'll let you in
i might have to change one of our excursions if we won't be able to make dinner one night. We are on the waiting list for late dining, but i'm not getting my hopes up on getting that changed.
i think you stand a reasonable chance of getting late dining - normally people are wait listed to get main dining - so i'd be willing to bet there's effectively someone they can swap with you so you get late and they get main. Make sur eyou go to rockin bar d on embarakation to re-register your request for late dining
one more thing, how do we find out which night we are at which restaurant, or do we have to wait until we get there?
you find out when you check in. The rotation is printed on your key to the world card, and there's a schedule in your stateroom. If you change to late dining then your rotation may well change aswell, but they'll notify you of that.
any help on this is greatly appreciated.
The pictures on the boards show these shower rack sized gynormous things with 3-4 pockets. Does the old saying, "size doesn't matter" still apply. Come to think of it... Did it ever?
Cheers Mike!
