When do you know your dining rotation?

[noahsmom]

Now that key to the world cards are at our stateroom door, how do you find out your dining rotation?

In the navigator app as soon as you connect to DCL WiFi at the port.

It also is not on the card anymore, look under dining in your app and it will say which restaurant is reserved for you that night and your table number. Know your table number before you get the restaurant it will go faster because they ask you and if you don’t know they have you pull it up on your phone.

To add to this, for the absolute most part the app will be accurate. However glitches or errors can happen. On my Wonder cruise back in October it incorrectly showed everyone's restaurant for night 3, so on night 2 the service team had to make sure everyone understood not to go where the app told them for the following evening and that we would be in the same restaurant two nights in a row. I can only assume those that didn't attend the MDR on night 2 would have had no idea and initially went to the wrong restaurant the following night.

Basically, rely on the app but also listen to your servers when they give you the rundown for the next day

Yes and a lot of times the app will tell you to go to the wrong restaurant on disembarkment day. It is always the restaurant you were in the night before or the buffet upstairs.

Just wanted to jump on this with another question, if that's ok?

Are we able to request a dining rotation? We are going on 7-night Treasure in March and I just don't want to start out in the Marvel dining room. I've been on the Wish twice and hated that dining experience both times so if we are there on the first night I believe that makes us there for 3 nights total? I would like to avoid that, if possible!

So can I request to NOT start there?

You can goto dinning changes when you get onboard. Just keep in mind that switch may come with a sacrifice (as in where you sit, who you sit or when you sit). Also the 3 times depends on literary, I believe the dinning rotation if different on east vs west.

I think you can call and ask for a preferred rotation. Doesn’t mean they will give it to you but I would not wait for the dining change on the ship because the dinning seating is done a week before.

Thank you, maybe I'll try calling!

You can also email them using the website to make a request.

Given that rotations can change, it would be better to say which restaurant you would prefer to start in - like "I would like to have the dining rotation that starts in 1923" (Or in the case of the one I just made "I would like to be en Enchanted Garden on the second night" - that way I can try for Palo on the second night, not miss Pirate Night (I actually like that menu), and not miss the first night in the MDR.)

Given that everyone has to start in one of the 3 dining rooms, it's easier just to pick one that you'd like to start in. And negative requests - like "Not in Marvel on the first night" - are easy to miss and be misunderstood.

Makes sense, thank you!
