Creator's Key Takeaways

On a ship the size of Sun Princess, where you sit and where you dine can completely change the atmosphere.

It honestly took me about 5 days to fully settle into a routine that felt comfortable, but once I figured it out, the whole dining experience became much more enjoyable for me as a solo traveler.

I really enjoy the ambiencece of the evening, the ocean views, the interaction with the weight staff, and the overall rhythm of the experience.

If you enjoy making an evening out of dinner, the main dining room can really become part of the overall cruise experience, especially once you settle into a rhythm that feels comfortable for you.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Arrive early for My Time Dining to get a better table location.
Communicate with the hostess to request a preferred table or area.
Ask for tables against the railing for ocean views.
Be persistent in requesting what you want for a better experience.
Arrive at least 30 minutes early for shows to get good seats.

What most cruisers don’t realize about My Time Dining on the Sun Princess is that where you sit, when you arrive, and the overall flow of the dining room can completely change the experience.
