lauraapp Posted March 14, 2006 #1 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I just received doc's and it says main dining is at 5:30? Isn't that early? I am sure it was never before 6:00.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xine Posted March 14, 2006 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Think of it as early bird dining... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruin Steve Posted March 14, 2006 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I didn't even read my docs that carefully yet to notice... Of course, on a 3-night cruise, it's not all that big of a deal to us...so, we'll eat a little early...Friday, we'll be on the ship all afternoon...Sunday's "at sea"...and Saturday, we leave Ensenada at 5 anyway--like there's anything to do with all that time in Ensenada... As long as they give us a 2+ hour window to eat...we're not getting the main course until after 6 anyway... And I don't plan on caring about what time it is... So, I guess all it would really do would be to give us longer evenings for show, karaoke, Piano Bar, etc.and we'll just eat more again in the late evening... But I guess I should actually read the docs rather for taking it for granted... I've been on ships before with Main Seating at 6:00, 6:15 and 6:30...NEVER at 5:30!!!

Travelgrrl Posted March 14, 2006 #4 Share Posted March 14, 2006 So on formal night, you start getting ready at 3:00 PM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusinmama06 Posted March 14, 2006 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2006 So on formal night, you start getting ready at 3:00 PM? WOW, it takes you 2.5 hours to get ready for dinner. That must be some ritual you go through...lol. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelgrrl Posted March 14, 2006 #6 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hahaha, my sister used to get up at 5 AM to be ready for school at 8, and my Dad's comment was always "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, girls!" I was thinking more of formal night, when you do tend to get tarted up a little earlier (and take longer) and then the photo taking and Captain's Cocktail Party often precede dinner. So when I have early seating, it seems as if I'm already getting ready by 4:00 for 6:00 dinner... One reason why I've really grown to love late seating dinner! You can get any seat you want poolside or in the Solarium at 4:00, and you don't need to start worrying about the 'sow's ear' until 7:00! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Pedro Posted March 14, 2006 #7 Share Posted March 14, 2006 We were on the Brilliance in February and dining was at 5:30. Captains reception was a 4:30. It was OK because that was a sea day. Some people liked it earlier, others didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
