jodith2 Posted February 28, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I will be sailing on the Regatta to Alaska in June. I will be making dinner reservations soon and I was just wondering what restaurants to choose and what is the best night to go. Should I book the Grand dining room on the first night or wait a few days, or does it matter? I just don't want to go when there would be huge crowds and waiting.

StanandJim Posted February 28, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Only the Specialty Restaurants require reservations on Oceania. The Grand Dining Room is always first come first served. With 650 people on the whole ship, crowds are unknown. Relax! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob the Cruiser Posted February 28, 2019 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2019 We just returned from our 34-day Miami to Buenos Aires cruise aboard Sirena. The first 2 nights in the GDR were packed. Service was s-l-o-w and we were unable to order wine until halfway through our main course even though I requested a sommelier several times. (We saw only 3 sommeliers.) Lesson learned - do specialty restaurants the first night and possibly the second night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare LHT28 Posted February 28, 2019 #4 Share Posted February 28, 2019 it will depend on the sailing sometimes the GDR is busy the first night sometimes not we have had both experiences to me the Terrace always seems like a zoo on the first night if you know you will be ashore all day I would not book a Specialty that night unless you eat late JMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
