Restaurants - buffet or table service and when?

[ghtx]

I have a question about the restaurants on the ship (I'll be on the Dream) and when they are table service vs. when they are buffet.

I know that the three main rotational dining rooms are table service for dinner every night. At least one is also open for breakfast and lunch every day. When they are open for breakfast and lunch, are they table service or buffet?

Cabanas is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I think that it is a buffet for breakfast and lunch and table service for dinner. Is that right?

I'm asking because I'm not a huge fan of buffets and I'd prefer to eat table service as much as possible if it's an option.

You are correct. The MDR that is open for breakfast and lunch will be table service.

The only difference is that for breakfast and lunch you won't have assigned seats, but they will seat you very quickly. They also take your order quickly. So the whole process doesn't have to take long, but they won't rush you either. You can arrive any time during the dining window. (except on the last morning)

Cabanas is buffet for breakfast and lunch each day. It is table service for dinner, but is not open the first and last night for dinner.

On embarkation day, Enchanted Garden is open as a buffet as lunch. EG is also open for breakfast as a buffet, except for the last morning when it is table service. You are assigned a time and restaurant for breakfast on debarkation day based on what MDR you were in for dinner the night before and whether you are first or second dinner seating. But Cabanas is open the last morning for breakfast, for limited hours.

Royal Palace is open for breakfast and lunch as table service on the Nassau day. It's open for breakast as table service on the CC day, but not for lunch on that day.

Check the Navigator each day for the hours the restaurants are open.

Do you know what restaurants are what for the Magic ship?

On the Magic, Cabanas is a buffet for breakfast & lunch, table service for dinner (except first and last nights).

Lumiere's, Animator's Palate, and Carioca's are table service for dinner.

Embarkation day Carioca's is buffet (but they seat you and you order your drinks before serving yourself)

For lunch, Lumiere's is table service.

Carioca's is open for lunch on embarkation day. I believe that is buffet.
Lumiere's is open for table service breakfast and lunch, excluding embarkation day.
