Did you try changing it in the app? When I booked the cruise, it initially gave me second dining. However, I changed it to first dining. If it’s not available, they’ll have to visit guest services once they’re onboard.
I’ll let them know and see if it lets them. They do lots of last minute trips so this is actually far out for them lol
They were able to switch to the early seating. I don’t think they realized when they booked they could have changed it right away
I see they were able to change it, but, as a point of info for others - they could have added the request to the original reservation and gotten on a wait list.
Good to know! I personally only like early
I was going to say the same. I realized only a while ago that main seating was still available, which is unusual!
They can try once they are on the ship. Typically the dining team is set up in front of Enchanted Garden on boarding day before muster drill. Most likely they will be able get something. 13 evenings, some people might also still cancel while on board.
Book for 1 now. When they get on the ship go to Dining Changes (it'll be listed in the app on Day 1-should be outside Enchanted Garden but always good to check in case they move it) and they should be able to switch it to 2 people. If they don't want to wait in that line, they can go up to Palo/Remy later on and talk to whoever is at the host stand and they'll be able to sort it out.
The shows will be Aladdin, Frozen, and Believe. I don't think anyone's been able to find out which nights the shows are (this was also just discussed in the FB group with similar results).
Don’t they normally tell concierge when these things are? Hmm I don’t want them to miss the shows because of the meals. I think they have Palo booked on pirate night since I saw pirate makeup as an option for one of the activities that day. Do they do the shows more than one night since the cruise is a lot longer?
I'm concierge and have not heard about the nights of the shows. I don't know if they typically do the shows more than one night, since there's other act that are usually scheduled for the night before.
We've done a couple of Transatlantic cruises on DCL. The production shows were only shown once (two showings on one day). The added days got specialty entertainment. There are some shows utilizing the regular DCL CMs more like musical reviews that are pulled out for such cruises. And local entertainment brought on in one port for one or two shows (2 different shows on different nights). I believe they won't be wanting for things to see.
If you’ve done multiple TA cruises, is it always Bruce Kimbrough doing the lectures or do they ever get other people? Thanks
I can't tell you. I only remember the husband/wife duo we had on our first one. We wound up seated with them when we were in Nice for lunch. Sorry, I don't really recall who were the various lecturers. But I did enjoy the lectures.
I normally do late dining; however, I have acid reflux. I’ve been training myself not to eat pass 7p. It has helped a lot!
Thanks, but it doesn't answer the concerns above. Plus the EARLY morning breakfast on debarkation day (which would be hesitation D if I'd remembered it then.
