Creator's Key Takeaways

You never want to be that guy. That's always my mantra on a cruise. Just don't be that guy.

Certainly five minutes no problem at all. I mean I don't think they even in many cases you're lucky if you can get your drink order in within the first 10 minutes of your assigned time.

You can take it out of the dining room or out of a restaurant um, to do that, and they're more than happy to do so.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Don't be late for dinner; if you're more than 20 minutes late, seek alternatives.
βœ“Respect the dress code, but don't overthink it as most are suggestions.
βœ“Tell your waiter if you need a faster meal to accommodate shows or activities.
βœ“Order food to try new things, but avoid being wasteful.
βœ“Ask for food to go, especially desserts, to enjoy later in your room or on a balcony.
