Early dining, a question without complaining :-)

[bemis12]

On our booked cruise on the Coral Princess, Traditional Dining times are 4:45, 5:00 and 7:15 currently.

 

With only two dining rooms, how does having dining times at 4:45 and 5:00 work?  Where are they? Obviously the 4:45 diners have not moved along yet.

 

I'm reasonably sure there are only two MDR's aboard.

They have two dining rooms. One for the 4:45 and then the 7:15, and the other for the 5:00.

Just a wild guess, though.

One of them is reserved for Anytime Dining, I believe.

Probably the 4:45pm will be tables in anytime reserved for Traditional. You will have the same table and waiters each night. That happened to us a year or two ago on the Coral as back then, we went with early traditional and wanted a table for two. Nothing was available in Traditional, so had a nice table for four, by the window reserved each night in anytime

That makes sense.  We are at a table for 6, so presumably in the actual Traditional Dining room.

 

Thank you for the response.

Yup.  The earliest seating is in the Anytime room (lowest deck).  That dining room is also used for Club Class, so fewer seats available early for people who want Anytime.  After first seating the rest of the room opens for Anytime.
