Fox trotter Posted July 10, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I understand that evening dinner in the grills is 6.30 until 9.00 pm. Does this mean service finishes at 9 or is it possible to commence dining at say 8.45? My wife and I spend quite a lot of time dancing in the Queens room, so we like to plan dinner time around dance sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare s.s.France Posted July 10, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 10, 2018 You can show up for Dinner until 09.00 pm. Most people show up earlier of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunkrest Posted July 10, 2018 #3 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I may be shot down here but I would be embarrassed turning up at 8.45 the very latest would be 8.30 and that would be a through the door time. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Forums Why ? If the time stated is 9PM then that's the time you need to be sat at your table for. That's the time they stop taking orders, not the time that stop cooking.

VintageCCG Posted July 10, 2018 #7 Share Posted July 10, 2018 If I may be so bold, perhaps one might clarify with Cunard before the embarkation date - or with the maître d'hôtel once on board - whether 9pm is the time by which to be seated, or the time at which the dining room closes. That should clear up any misunderstandings with much more authoritative certainty than polling the fine denizens of CruiseCritic.com for their varying opinions. I'm guessing that - based on the cost of travelling in the Grills - the onboard servers will likely be lenient in the application of such constraints. But I might still propose going to the source for the most reliable response. https://res.cloudinary.com/complex/image/upload/c_limit,w_680/fl_lossy,pg_1,q_auto/txftfnl3oozcldbp4hig.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Host Hattie Posted July 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted July 10, 2018 It's definitely not the time the restaurant closes, don't worry you will have plenty of time for dancing and eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion would be that it is fine arriving late if you are a table for 2, perhaps not very considerate if you are sharing a table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemPuck Posted July 11, 2018 #10 Share Posted July 11, 2018 We regularly arrived about 8:40 and never had issues. And we were never the last to leave the dining room. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I spend quite a lot of time dancing in the Queens room, so we like to plan dinner time around dance sessions. The 7.45pm Sequence dancing and/or the Strict Tempo dancing will often finish at 8.30/8.35pm ish . The various 7.45pm cocktail receptions ( Captains, World Club & Senior officers) will finish at 8.30pm. Often folk ( like me) will linger, finishing a drink or chatting and then 'saunter along' to their respective restaurants by 8.45pm . You'll have no problem, however, common sense prevails....... I wouldn't like to arrive at 9pm ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
