Creator's Key Takeaways

the biggest change for experienced Cruisers who may not have sailed in a while is that many cruise lines have completely dropped the traditional fixed seating

the biggest tip I can give you is to understand how the dining room Works dinner time allows each table to be used twice

do not pick a time in between this means on most ships you'll eat between 5:00 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. or 7:00 p.m. or later

always book early or late and you will save yourself a wait in line

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book a reservation in advance for either an early time (between opening and 45 minutes after opening) or a time 2 to 2.5 hours after the dining room opens.
βœ“Avoid picking a time in the 6:00 p.m. range to prevent waiting for a table.
βœ“Choose to eat between 5:00 p.m. and 5:45 p.m. or 7:00 p.m. or later to maximize table usage.
