Creator's Key Takeaways

two spots to avoid are the peak dining times for the buffet at breakfast and lunch typically 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on sea days and earlier on port days

if you select traditional early or late dinner seating and you have a party of 4 or less then there is a higher probability that you will be assigned a table with other guests

the preferred arrival window is between 10 a.m. and noon and those are the first lots to get selected

guests book and Suites wedding parties and those with special past guest status will always be the first aboard regardless of the time they arrived

Creator's Tips & Advice

Avoid peak dining times at the buffet and main dining rooms to reduce crowding.
Select open seating or speak with the dining manager to secure your own table.
Adhere to assigned arrival windows at the embarkation port to avoid delays.
