Island Princess Embarkation dinner time

[arizonaperson]

Anyone that has been on the Island Princess recently in Alaska(southbound itinerary) know or remember for traditional dining were you handed a piece of paper for your dining time for the 1st night only?

Is the emergency drill at 7:45pm if the ship leaves Whittier at 8:30pm?

We recently returned..not getting on the ship till the last minute as that is when the train arrived (late).all dining rooms were anytime dining the first night out, I don't know what time they opened as we didn't board the ship till 6:30 ish......We waited till after the drill then went to dinner. If you don't attend the drill you have to attend it in the morning.
