Mrs Banjo and I have done this on occasion. 

Same here. But, don’t tell anyone.

One theoretical solution to a late dinner is to stay up late in the Panorama, dancing it off.

That’s what I do. Well, not the dancing part, of course. 😁

Yes, yes I am LOL......but eating at 9 would be too late for me no matter where my residence would be.😀

Don’t ever go to Spain and try to eat in a good restaurant, first evening seating is 9:30+

My issue with La Dame on the Moon is why take the hot foie gras off the menu when you can order it in Atlantide for breakfast, lunch or dinner whenever you give 24 hours notice. Madness!

Yes, I understand. I was in Barcelona last summer and was able to eat at the Rooftop Bar of the hotel and it was a "normal hour", (for me anyway).  I was at the Majestic and they had a nice menu out there😀

Yes, the hotels which cater largely for foreign tourists will generally have much earlier hours for lunch and particularly dinner (thank goodness).  If you like trying tapas you will find that available earlier in the evening, after which if you have not had too many you can go on to dine somewhere.  Though I would say 9 rather than 9.30, maybe.

I think you know you’ll be able to eat in SilverNote as often as you like once you get on board.

Not necessarily. Last year I was unable to get a reservation at Silver Note, although I had booked the cruise well in advance - and nothing opened up for me onboard.  Fortunately I was able to get in to enjoy the entertainment one evening after dinner at Atlantide.

Maybe they should limit the number of reservations any one cabin can make at any one restaurant (based on length of cruise) until a few days before the cruise.  That lets everyone have a shot and, then, if there are open slots close to sailing, people can book more nights.  It seems unfair that someone could book any restaurant every single night.  Hasn't affected us (we're happy with Atlantide) but it certainly is annoying to some.

These are the perils of holidaying in a nation that takes an afternoon kip as a national sport. I’m sure if we in Wales had midday temperatures in the upper 30s we’d probably be the same. Fortunately it’s not an issue. As it is, we breakfast at 8, luncheon at 12 and dine around 7. I Can only imagine our chef suffering a coronary at the thought of a 9.30 table.

I think that’s a great idea!
