Creator's Key Takeaways

everything has changed so we all need to too when I started cruising there was one main dining room with the first and second seating and a buffet

now dining is so much more complicated and there are things I see cruises keep getting wrong until now if you follow these tips you definitely won't

I personally prefer to go for the anytime dining option if they have that where I can go when I want rather than those fixed dining times

Cruisers do not take the time to understand what food is currently included in the cruise fan now that's key because it's changing
