letsgogogo Posted September 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted September 16, 2022 We are hearing stories from those in aqua on this fully packed Canada sailing that waits for Blu are running 45 minutes for dinner unless you show up when they first open. I have lofty MoveUp bids for this similar itinerary on 10/3 and I’m second guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwokpot Posted September 16, 2022 #2 Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) I was in Aqua Class on the Summit last November during Thanksgiving Week and we did have to wait two nights, about 20 mins. Blu is a small dining room on M-Class ships and we do enjoy eating prime time at 7pm. we were given pagers and yes it was a bit annoying but we sat in Cellar Masters and had a drink while we waited. Also a heads up, there's a table for two in Blu in the rear on the left side that is in a TERRIBLE location and it was routinely rejected by everyone. Most of the two tables are in the rear and sides of the dining room. Edited September 16, 2022 by kwokpot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to squeeze more 2 tables in they placed a two table right past the wine cabinet in a space that was meant as a walkway from the rear kitchen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you wait until between 6-7:30 pm to eat, you take your chances, especially if you want to eat in a section where you get the same servers every night. Sorry, but we were on the Summit for 24 days last month and that's pretty much how it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Anne Posted September 18, 2022 #9 Share Posted September 18, 2022 If you are not on Summit right now or have sailed on Summit in the past month or so, please refrain from responding to this thread. The OP is looking for current/recent experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d we want to dine late, at what point do the wait times simmer down to under 15 max? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I have no idea as we arrived when Blu opened at 5 pm so we could make the early show and never had to deal with the buzzers. On our first leg (Aug 7-19), the early show started at 6:30 and the late show was at 8:30. On our second leg (Aug 19-31), they changed the showtimes to 6:45 and 8:45. Not sure what the current show times are. However, my totally uninformed guess would be the busiest time in Blu would start either early enough for folks to subsequently make the late show, maybe between 6-7 pm, and when the early show gets out for those wanting to eat afterwards. So I’m thinking after 8-8:30 once the early dinners head to the late show? Edited September 20, 2022 by Ken the cruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
