Question
QUESTION: DO YOU THINK LATE DINING TIME IS BETTER THAN MAIN
WILL WE MISS MUCH AT LATE DINING
WE ARE FROM EUROPE AND MUST HAVE THE LATE SEATING FOR DINNER OR ELSE IT WILL BE LUNCH!! BUT WE DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT
CAN YOU HELP US

ANSWER: We like late dining better than Main because there is less "push" to get you out of the dining room while waiting for another group to arrive.

It will also give you time before dinner to stop by and have a pre dinner drink if you want; also your tours can be taken later when offered as you will be having later dinner.  You won't miss anything!

Yours is a good choice, though for some different reasons.  Have a wonderful cruise and enjoy yourselves.

QUESTION: THANKS SO MUCH
I HEARD THAT THE SHOWS FOR LATE DINING ARE BEFORE DINNER
IS THIS TRUE?

Answer
Sometimes that is true Nancy, but not always.  There are so many options on the ship, for instance, you may be really tired one night and just want to eat something light, not dress for dinner etc, you can eat at the buffet or one of the specialty restaurants aboard most ships.  You also might decide you don't want to see the show that night, but may want to go to the comedy show or show after the "main" show, you can still do that as well.

We have gone to a specialty restaurant, then gone to the late show, which is really for the main seat diners, but it doesn't make a difference, you're not confined to sit only at the show time related to your dinner seating.

One night we ordered in our cabin, then went to the late show, then comedy show, then off to sit in the jacuzzi....it's all up to you and what you want to do and when!
