Sparkling_girl Posted August 12, 2018 Author #76 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Can someone please explain to me what a whenever/wherever meal means! Does that mean the restaurants are setving lunch, dinner all day and we can be seated or taking the meal anywhere we want? The Wifi free option, it says 250 minutes. So it won't be worth considering is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacationdreamer<>< Posted August 12, 2018 #77 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Can someone please explain to me what a whenever/wherever meal means! Does that mean the restaurants are setving lunch, dinner all day and we can be seated or taking the meal anywhere we want? The Wifi free option, it says 250 minutes. So it won't be worth considering is it? I think it helps to understand that this wording is actually stemming from their attempts (and other lines) to describe what their dining is NOT. Traditional dining, still active on many lines, means you are assigned a meal time, a meal venue, and a table. For example, on my Princess cruise this past May, my friend and I were assigned 6:00 PM in the Botticelli dining room at table 28. We showed up for dinner each night at 5:50 PM, were escorted to our table and were looked after by the same staff members. We had requested a table for 10, and we were seated with other people. What NCL means (and other lines with this option) is that you decide which of the complimentary venues you would like to eat at. You MAY make a reservation, but you are not required to. You may just show up like you might at Olive Garden, give your name, and wait to be seated. Most lines operate this way for MDR breakfast and lunch. Does this help?

Sparkling_girl Posted August 13, 2018 Author #79 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I was thinking maybe we can arrive on April 15th, visit Rome until the 18th, then go on the cruise, come back on the 28th at 6 AM and drive to the airport and catch a 10:55 AM flight back home. Or you would suggest we fly from home to Rome on the 18th, get on the cruise and when we come back on the 28th, have a three days stay? I personally would prefer arriving a couple days earlier and have a blast in Rome then get on the cruise. The problem with that is when the cruise arrives on the 28th at 6 AM, will we have enough time to unload, drive to the airport and catch our 10:55 AM flight? What do you suggest?
