Early Dinner vs. Late Dinner on Royal Caribbean

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator examines the differences between early, late, and my time dining options for Royal Caribbean cruises. He explains that the main dining room offers a complimentary three-course meal and that the selected dining time remains consistent for the duration of the voyage. Early seating, typically occurring around 5:30 or 6:00 PM, is noted as being ideal for families with children or travelers who prefer to retire early to enjoy evening shows. However, this option may overlap with sail away festivities on the first night. Late seating, which usually begins after 8:00 PM, allows passengers more time for afternoon activities like pool lounging or excursions, though it requires staying up later each night. The creator also discusses my time dining, a flexible option that allows for varying meal times but lacks the consistency of having the same table mates and servers. He concludes that there is no single correct choice, as the decision depends on personal schedules and travel styles. He suggests that first-time cruisers try traditional dining to see which preference suits them best before making future decisions.

Creator's Key Takeaways
should you pick late or early dinner on your royal green Cruise when you're planning your cruise this is one of the first decisions you need to make
late seatings also allow for more pre-dinner activities whether that's a drink or an early show
my time dining however is not considered traditional dining you will not have the same table mates and weight step every evening
I would say the biggest downside to my time dining is that waiting around if you don't have a reservation when you arrive
