What time are the set dining times in the Main Dining Room for the early dining and the late seating? We are boarding the Maasdam on the 23rd (Holiday cruise), our TA said ......like most of HAL's dining rooms there are 2 levels. Level 1 is 'anytime dining' 5.15pm onwards, level 2 is fixed 5.45pm and 8pm. We're not fans of fixed (particularly main/late as we have been given) so I'll be making the reservations desk my first port of call after boarding 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeniEncinitas Posted December 16, 2019 #72 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Love your reports!!! We were on the Maasdam for 30 days doing SA and loved our room cruise and all! Felt like home for us. We enjoy New Zealand very much! We did a adventure cruise and hiked Milford Sound and stayed at the lodge there. Also kayaked Tasman Sea and stayed at different lodges. What a great country and people👍 Erewhon is one of them😊 Hoping to do a cruise from San Diego or San Francisco to Australia and including New Zealand in our future! Have a Merry Christmas Denise😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
