kjeanne2001 Posted January 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Do you need to make a reservation for open seating at dinner on HAL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvertoGold Posted January 13, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2014 No, you can just show up and see what is available. If you want a specific table size, it is probably best to make a reservation, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iflyrc5 Posted January 13, 2014 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2014 If you don't have a reservation it is probably best to arrive by 5:45 - if not, it may be difficult to get a table until about 7 which is when the first seating will be finishing . Also, to get a table for 2 is more difficult but if you are willing to share a table for 6 or 8 it is much easier to get a table. Enjoy your cruise.

Aruba Posted January 13, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2014 If you don't have a reservation it is probably best to arrive by 5:45 ... Or later in the evening, like 8:00. I've almost never had a wait going at that time or later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kruizers Posted January 13, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 13, 2014 As a rule -- for most ships -- the only times you can make a reservation for the Open Seating is from 5:15 - 6:15 and from 7:30 to 9. Otherwise you just walk up and wait if there is a line. If you do decide to make reservations, you can make them for 3 days at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted January 13, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 13, 2014 In all our years of open seating we have only had to wait for a table one time. Now we usually arrive before 6:30 so that maybe a factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJ2002 Posted January 13, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 13, 2014 We usually make a reservation for 2 around 7:30pm or 8:00pm. So far we have been very lucky and have always been given our requested time and table configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Chew Posted January 13, 2014 #8 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) We've never made a reservation ... we eat between 7 & 7:30 ... have never had to wait more than a few minutes. Sometimes it's just the two of us, other times a group of 4 or 6. When it has been just the two of us, we're okay with any size table. This has been on the Noordam, Prinsendam and most recently Statendam. Edited January 13, 2014 by Lady Chew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
