Creator's Key Takeaways

Another myth people have is that they're stuck dining every night with a table of strangers.

And if you want to have company, you can have company. And if you don't, you can have a table for two or there's four of you traveling.

I've had some of the most fascinating conversations with people that I just said, 'Let's have dinner together, shall we?'

Creator's Tips & Advice

You can choose to dine with others or alone, depending on your preference.
On bigger ships, you can dine anytime between 6 PM and 9 PM.
