xavier Posted October 31, 2019 #1 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I am currently on a waiting list for both first and second seating on the pacific princess. A blurb popped up and said if my waitlist didn’t clear I would be assigned anytime dining. It was my understanding that this ship only had one dining room. Where do they seat for anytime dining?

tcdcruiser Posted October 31, 2019 #2 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Having spent months aboard the Pacific, I can guarantee that “ anytime dining” does not exist. Ship does however have club class, but that is not technically considered anytime dining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted October 31, 2019 #3 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Nope, the Pacific doesn't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribill Posted November 1, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Just another example of the Princess IT department having poor programming logic that in this case does not recognize the PP does not have Anytime. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamomo Posted November 1, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) I have cruised on the Pacific a number of times, and will be again soon. The dinnertime options are: the Club Dining Room ( traditional), the buffet, and Sabatini's and the steakhouse (the last two are open on alternating nights). Room service is also available, and probably also the burger grill on the pool deck. All passengers get assigned to a table number in either early or late seating in the Club Dining room. (However, this MAY not apply to PAX in Club Class mini-suites, as I believe they can show up for dinner in their special area of the dining room whenever it suits them.) It's that simple.

KevintheIrishDJ Posted November 1, 2019 #6 Share Posted November 1, 2019 How can anyone be on the wait list for both seatings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_galt Posted November 1, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Good info! This thread prompted me to revisit an older one that included details (and a map) about CC dining on the Pacific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiserkenn Posted November 1, 2019 #8 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I am just off the Pacific Princess, and I had a fine time, without ever eating in the dining room. I ate at Sabatini's, Sterling Steakhouse, the buffet, and room service. It was great! Oh, I also ate ashore, several times, on this port intensive Italy and Adriatic cruise. In other words:. Not to worry. There are options if you are flexible and creative. 🙂⛴🍍🍗🍳🧀🍤🍕🍜🍝🍨🎂🍰🍧🍩🍦🍪☕️🌝 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect there is some kind of misunderstanding or a bug on the website. Perhaps Princess is double counting the people in CC dining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memoak Posted November 1, 2019 #12 Share Posted November 1, 2019 When you have CC dining on the PP they still ask if you want early or late seating 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beg3yrs Posted November 1, 2019 #13 Share Posted November 1, 2019 And, don't trust the dining times listed in the Personalizer. When you get on board expect them to be a half-hour to 45 minutes later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcdcruiser Posted November 1, 2019 #14 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) CC on the Pacific has no early or late seating. Just arrive and you will be seated. Know that many passengers have preferred tables (and while not specifically assigned) will arrive early for a specific table. If you arrive CC at a peak hour you may have a table with lots of traffic (CC is in the front of the MDR so everyone walks past) or you may be offered a table with other CC passengers. The Pacific CC has some but not many 2 tops. Personal favorite is table #2 a 2 top in the corner. Edited November 1, 2019 by tcdcruiser 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the buffet does not have many options like what you draw 🙂, but the outside seating area is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think that one person can be on both waiting lists, but I have seen where there were waiting lists for both seatings. Since the dining room is sized so that all passengers can be taken care of in two seatings, I can easily see a waitlist for one seating, but not both. If one is full, there could be a waitlist for it, but the person would be assigned to the other seating. Where I did see the waitlist for both seatings I surmised that some in the early seating were on the waitlist for the late seating and some in the late seating were on the waitlist for the early seating. A human could easy see that this happened and make the switches, but the computer seems like it can not handle that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiserkenn Posted November 2, 2019 #17 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Thanks! The buffet had great desserts, and always lots of good fruits. I didn't go hungry🙂 The outside area is just fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed the Pacific experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
