It was no problem when the msc buffet stayed open until 4am, but when they switched to 1am, it sucked If not having dining available late is an issue for you, never sail Princess! The buffet closes at 10:00 and the pizza slice place next to the pool closes at 11:00. Nothing is available anywhere after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on a cruise, I'm up gambling, drinking and partying until the wee hours of the morning. On ncl, a late night osherhans run became part of my cruising routine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really did impact the trip, not eating dinner until 9pm and not finishing until 11pm is just not our thing. i'd be up all night with acid reflux if I ate that late. 😗 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had select dining, but you had to make a reservation to eat when you wanted. Otherwise you waited …and waited…. The first night it was an hour, second night 45 min. Third night was a late port night so no wait. After that I ate in the lackluster buffet. On Carnival you log into the app and they tell you how long the wait will be…might be short, might be more than an hour. EM most times short except on elegant nights.

N41EF Posted July 7 #31 Share Posted July 7 Was just on Seashore, asked for early, was assigned a table at 7:15 pm. Went to dining reservations just after boarding (deck 6 near shops?) and they moved us to 5pm in a different dining room no issue. We had two people at a table for 4 and no one ever joined us. We specifically said we'd be ok at a group table. We were given a window table against the wall with a "view". Dining times in that restaurant were 5pm, 7:15, and 9pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just pointing out one example of it working That's not always the case with NCL! On my last NCL cruise (~2 months ago) we waited at least 30 min to more than one hour for dinner in the MDR. It was a mess! Breakfast and lunch in the MDR were only slightly better, 15-30 minutes of waiting. Then the service was extremely slow once we sat down!

Now, I will join you on the extremely slow service one you sit down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
