Lindy Sue Posted April 12 #1 Share Posted April 12 Greetings. We will be taking our first Norwegian Cruise in January 2025 aboard the Norwegian Sun. I have seen a few stories about the long waiting periods in the main dining rooms on some ships if you fail to reserve in advance. Has anyone been on the Sun recently who can chime in with thoughts? Just trying to decide if we need to reserve in advance for the MDR. Thanks for any help or advice you can give! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare www3traveler Posted April 12 #2 Share Posted April 12 The Sun is a very small ship. Reservations for the two Main Dining Rooms are probably not needed. Dining for both are open seating. Dining Rooms usually open about 5:30 P.M. and are open as late as necessary. There may be a line when the dining rooms open but lasts only a few minutes. One of the main dining rooms is off the ship's lobby. The Sun is a wonderful ship. Enjoy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not recall ever having an especially long wait for any seating at any meal. It really is just luck of the draw though. If you prefer to dine at the same time a lot of others on your crusie do, there could be some wait. However based on the size of the ship and the seating capacity of the MDRs I would thknk you would be OK. If you do run into longer waits. Ask the crew member handling the seating what the slower times are and maybe adjust your dining time accordingly. I think you will enjoy your NCL cruise. All of ours have been fantastic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
