Anytime Dining on Sea Princess

[oldgrouchuk]

Can anyone please tell us, how good or bad is anytime dining, we are mid sixties enjoy nice food and company but have found Formal Dining can get a bit menotanous after several days. So we thought we would go for anytime dining and may use the special dining where you pay an extra charge some evenings?

Next question is, how would you go on with tipping, using different restaurants?

Please advise.

If you tip as the cruiseline suggests, there's no need to worry anymore about tipping...it's all covered. The suggested tips cover ALL meals, in all of the included eating venues.

Your "surcharge" for the specialty restaurants includes the tip for that venue...no need to tip additionally, unless you really want to.

The anytime dining option is still formal on formal nights. And the extra charge restaurants also follow the dress code of the evening, so with those two options, you'll still have formal nights. Also, you cannot bounce between traditional dining and anytime. You have to choose one or the other.

 

As for tipping, when you dine at the specialty, extra pay, restaurants you sign for the dinner at the end, and the tip is included. If you choose anytime dining, your tips are automatically added to your shipboard account.

Hi Oldgrouchuk

We did anytime dining on sea princess and found it really good.It was nice to be able to eat at a table for 2 if we so wished or join a group on a table, the good thing with this is you get to meet lot's of people if you want to.We enjoyed the fact that we could eat at what time we chose and not at the set time and if you don't want to eat in the dinning room the horizan court is really nice at night as well.Where in North Wales atre you?
