Island Princess Dining Rooms

[travelbuds]

Curious how Princess decides who eats in which dining room-Provence on deck 6 or Bordeaux on deck 5. We have a cruise next summer on the Island and just wondering.

We are on deck 10-Caribe with traditional early dining.

Thanks.

One dining room will be dedicated to traditional dining and the other for anytime dining. Traditional dining is assigned on a first come-first serve basis. If you don't make the cut, you are waitlisted...

The Provence on Deck 6 is the traditional dining and Deck 5 Bordeaux is anytime. However if the Bordeaux is full sometimes the maitre d' takes diners upstairs to the Provence. That's the only time decision making by the cruise staff comes into play. The passengers choose the dining option they prefer. Doesn't matter which deck their cabin is on.

Good answer. The OP will be going to the Provence dining room on deck 6 as that is the dining room for Traditional diners. That never changes if you have chosen Traditional dining and as you said, it has nothing to do with what deck your cabin is on.

Yes you could end up in either one.
