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

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Choose traditional dining for your first cruise to see how it works
✓Book your preferred dining time early as it tends to be popular
✓Consider your sleep schedule and energy levels when selecting a dining time
✓Make reservations in advance for my time dining to avoid wait times

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not knowing what the main dining room is — The main dining room is Royal Caribbean's traditional sit-down restaurant that serves a three-course meal every night, and it's complimentary.
Worrying about being hungry later if choosing early seating — Late night snacks are available at places like Sorrento's or Cafe Promenade.
Feeling rushed or losing time for excursions with early seating — Late seating allows more time in the afternoon for activities without cutting them short.
