What are the different dining arrangements?
Some ships’ dining rooms can accommodate all passengers in one “seating.” But most ships have two seating’s, which differ only by time: typically 6:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. To choose, just decide whether you prefer to dine early or late-then have our cruise counselor request your preference when you book your cruise. Whichever seating you choose, remember that one of the best ways to make new friends is to ask for a large table, where you’ll be seated with other guests. In addition, some ships offer alternative dining rooms, such as Italian, Chinese, Japanese or Southwestern theme restaurants, separate from the main dining room. This is referred to as FreeStyle Cruising.
