Late (or Main) dining is sometimes at 7:30pm, sometimes at 8:00pm. 

Thanks for posting the menu anyway and hope you have a great dinner at the Salty Dog Gastropub!

With my luck, it will be one of the nights we've booked Specialty Dining!

I already cancelled a Pinnacle Grill booking we had for Night 7. 🙂

My simple answer is, After dark.

 

According to Google, sunset is at 6:28pm. Damn, I was pretty close with my 6:30pm! 😆

When I have a package I bring a stainless steel wine thermos and have gone to the outrigger bar when it’s not busy and order my favorite wine. I pour it into the thermos and order another…repeat until full. Most of the time the bartender on day 2 will just hand me the bottle. But if not, I just refill the thermos as needed. I personally would not do this at an indoor bar or when the outdoor bar is busy. So when they first open in the morning is a good time. Some people might find this tacky but I call it having my wine whenever I want on my balcony. 
 

This is a GREAT idea! 

Please 🙏 let it be the new normal.

The Caribbean MDR menus have been almost an exact repeat of last years menus. Today’s is almost completely new, with choices I’ve never seen before. 

@Crew News have you seen how different today’s Eurodam MDR menu is?!? Day 7 of her current 10 day sailing is totally new. 👍😁

Thank you so much @Essiesmom!

Sounds like you have answered your own question then..

 

Like I said "I thought...", we've never done it before and I know many here have.

I thought I read that we don't finish the full transit until around 6:30pm? 

We're doing the full transit Panama Canal from Los Angeles to Fort Lauderdale next year. What time should I reserve dinner to not miss out on any prime viewing that evening?

The ship is docked in St. George’s, Grenada today. 
 

 

 

We had a tour scheduled for 9:00 am with “Savor the Spice” booked through shore excursions group. We arrived at our designated meeting location about 15 minutes early and waited until 9:35 am. 
 

No one ever showed up. No one called. I tried calling the number on my email confirmation. One of the very kind ladies at the help desk even tried calling for me (multiple times) but no one answered at the number that was provided on my e-ticket. 
 

So we walked around town for a while and headed back to the ship. 

Well that sucks… You’re not having the best luck with your tours. ☹️

How was dinner tonight? A pale comparison to the Pinnacle Grill or a pleasant surprise?

Interesting. I would have thought your 2nd formal night would be on the 15th, a sea day. But maybe that’s too close to the 3rd one? Because tonight’s definitely looks like a Formal night menu.

Since the entry is not clearly marked "Club Orange" rather just in orange ink, MDR waiters might be taking some heat for saying, "No" when requested by non-CO diners. 

You're probably right ... I'm sure they'll fix it soon. Rats! 🙂 

We don't sail until next year, but the Eurodam is currently doing a very similar 10-day sailing and I've been monitoring the MDR menus on the app (thank you @Crew News). For the first time today, instead of a Club Orange Daily Special, there is a similarly highlighted "Classic Dishes from our Historic Sailings" feature. 

Hmmmm.... available to everyone perhaps??

Slightly announced that they only show you the standard general menu in the bars - really love some of the staff at Good Spirits at sea, one is just slightly rude (asking for a Negroni with sparkling wine instead of gin and was told they would need to charge two drinks (wouldn’t mind that but there is nothing different)) also seems always announced when one asked for one of the more work intensive cocktails 

By announced, do you mean annoyed? Stupid "spellcheck" lol.

We’ve booked the “Zoo & Walk in the Treetops” tour through Princess for our visit next year. Hoping to read some reviews beforehand if anyone does that one. 🤞

One of the MANY reasons we hate the buffet... 😠

@Crew News explained it all perfectly in the sticky thread "HAL for Dummies" not long ago...

@aring75 Glad you enjoyed the day and it looks like you had great weather.

So happy that Sabatini’s worked out so well for you!
