If I'm forward on the main deck on the Fantasy....

[carmel]

Can someone tell me how to get to the two main dining rooms?

 

Thanks!

On your floor walk all the way to the back of the ship to the last flight of stairs go down 2 flights of stairs and you will be at Jubilee dining room

The Main Deck should be deck 4. If you're going to the mid-ship dining room, take the forward elevators to the 8th deck (Atlantic) and walk around the Atrium to the entrance. To get to the Aft dining room, take the aft elevators to Deck 8.

For the aft MDR go up to 9 and wait in the bar. You'll be able to see when the doors open and avoid the sardines in the lobby.

Good point. We've always been in the mid-ship dining room, I forget how small that lobby is for the set seating crowd.

Thanks. One in our party has a bad knee so I always try to find the quickest, most direct way to go.

if you have traditional dining your dining room should be the midship one. take the forward elevators on what your sign and sail card says

 

if anytime you will need to hoof it to the aft elevators

Think that's backwards. ATD is always the MDR with Atrium access.

The aft is assigned dining.

 

Some Fantasy class ships use all or just part of this MDR for ATD. (Over here the Inspiration used the outer edges and the Imagination uses all of it .)

Yup, ATD is midship, at the MDR that serves breakfast and brunch. Which is great if your cabin in forward. We had set time dining once, with a cabin way in the front of the Riviera, took us a good 15 minutes to get to dinner each night. LOL, walk off the calories before dinner.

[carmel]

We are traditional and I'm pretty sure I read somewhere it is the aft dining room.

 

I think I'm going to walk to the aft on my floor then take the elevator up. I'm not too keen on walking through the Casino because of the smoke.

Just know that the aft MDR lobby gets extremely crowded before they open the doors. Like, if the ship went upside down everyone would be stuck to the ceiling, crowded.

That's the way to do it if you are in the aft. That's the only way to do it to make sure you don't get blocked. Some people will go to deck 3 first via the forward or midship elevators, and then find themselves blocked by either the other dining room or the kitchen. From your stateroom, go to the aft elevators, then go to deck 3 or 4. That's the only way I knew to get there when I started cruising, which is why I never knew of a kitchen blockade until I read the complaints about it on these boards.

 

Anytime dining is almost always in the midship dining room, but if there aren't enough people signed up for anytime, then some people with traditional dining will be assigned to one of the floors of the midship dining room.

Fantasy class MDRs are on 8.

 

Other classes have them on 3 and 4.

oops! That's right. I'm having one of those weeks. Can't keep the threads straight.

 

carmel, you've got the right plan for the aft dining room. Out your stateroom, go down the hallway to the aft elevators, and up to deck 8 to avoid the kitchen blockade. Show up right at your assigned dining time or a couple minutes late to avoid the craziness of people gathering/cluttering outside the dining room. Both of your dining rooms will be only one floor.
